Framework for Growth

We believe that the Government now has the opportunity to develop an Industrial Strategy which will drive inclusive growth across the UK. In support of this goal we undertook the Framework for Growth research which sets out business leaders’ priorities, and provides economic analysis to assess the overall potential impact.

The Industrial Strategy, set out in the recent Government green paper, is an important step forward for business. 

In advance of its launch we conducted our Framework for Growth research. Including in-depth interviews with over 60 business leaders and a survey of 1,200 business decision makers, we’ve identified the most critical barriers to growth, such as skills development, the planning system, and infrastructure investment.

Where possible, we have then sought to complement this insight with new economic analysis, to provide an indication of the potential impact that improving the UK’s performance in certain specific, measurable areas could have on the size of different sectors.  

We believe a clear plan and long-term commitment, combined with innovative partnerships across the public and private sectors, is essential to deliver the kind of economic growth that will transform the UK.
