The automotive sector has had to meet more than its fair share of challenges over the years as globalisation, business consolidation and technological advances have redrawn the face of the industry. Throughout this, the West Midlands has held on to its position as the UK’s automotive heartland, the legacy of a commitment to quality, innovation and skill that has spanned generations of car and component producers.
This has proved a vital boost for the region. Directly and indirectly, the industry is responsible for an estimated 60,000 jobs in the West Midlands, chiefly in the supply chain. A lot rests on the region’s automotive producers’ ability to maintain their UK position and their international competitiveness.
