    PRESS RELEASE : Compensation to postmasters reaches £1 billion milestone [June 2025]

    The press release issued by the Department for Business and Trade on 9 June 2025.

    More than £1 billion has been paid out to over 7,300 postmasters affected by the Horizon IT scandal – one of the biggest miscarriages of justice of our time.

    • Today’s data reveals over £1bn has been paid out in financial redress to thousands of postmasters across the UK
    • This includes £245m in the Horizon Convictions Redress Scheme launched last summer
    • Redress for victims of Horizon scandal has more than quadrupled under this government – delivering on a key manifesto commitment

    More than £1 billion has been paid out to over 7,300 postmasters affected by the Horizon IT scandal – one of the biggest miscarriages of justice of our time.

    This figure is a total across the Horizon-related redress schemes, with data published by the government today (Monday 9 June).

    This milestone marks the Government’s ongoing commitment to deliver redress and justice to postmasters as swiftly as possible. Whilst Government cannot fully put right what postmasters have been through, what is being delivered is increased redress and ensuring the compensation process work better than it has done previously.

    Post Office Minister Gareth Thomas said:

    Since entering government, it has been our priority to speed up the delivery of compensation to victims of the Horizon Scandal and today’s milestone shows how much progress has been made.

    We are settling cases every day and getting compensation out more quickly for the most complex cases, but the job isn’t done until every postmaster has received fair and just redress.

    Since entering government, redress paid out to victims of the Horizon Scandal has more than quadrupled to £1,039 million, delivering on a key manifesto promise to ensure justice and compensation are delivered swiftly for those sub-postmasters shamefully affected by the Horizon IT scandal.

    Ministers continue to review each scheme to ensure the process is as smooth as it can be, and welcome feedback and scrutiny from postmasters, campaigners and Parliament and recognise the tireless campaigning in this area over many years. Reforms to increase the roll out of redress has included the following steps.

    Since July 2024, the government has also launched the Horizon Convictions Redress scheme – providing redress to postmasters who had their convictions overturned by the Post Office Offences Act (and the equivalent legislation in Scotland) and also launched the Horizon Shortfall Scheme Appeals process.

    In March, Ministers made a commitment that claims for redress under the Post Office’s Overturned Convictions scheme would be transferred into the Department for Business and Trade (DBT) and the Post Office would cease to be involved in the administration of redress for overturned convictions. This is something that postmasters, campaigners and Parliamentarians have called for. As of 3 June, these cases have all been transferred and all future redress for these claimants will be managed by DBT.

    Other milestones include:

    • Launching the Post Office Process Review (PPR) helping to provide redress to postmasters who suffered financial losses caused by products, processes or policies that were designed or delivered incorrectly.
    • Beginning Horizon Shortfall Scheme fixed-sum payments of £75,000 for those who don’t want to go through the full assessment process.
    • Announcing the upcoming publication of a Green Paper which will give the public the chance to have their view on the future of Post Office.
    • Committing to develop an effective and fair redress process for those affected by the Capture IT system.
  • PRESS RELEASE : Australia-UK Free Trade Agreement Joint Committee Statement [June 2025]

    PRESS RELEASE : Australia-UK Free Trade Agreement Joint Committee Statement [June 2025]

    The press release issued by the Department for Business and Trade on 6 June 2025.

    Summary of a joint statement following the second meeting of the Australia-United Kingdom Free Trade Agreement Joint Committee on 3 June 2025.

    Alongside the OECD 2025 Ministerial Council Meeting held in Paris, Australian Minister for Trade and Tourism, Senator the Honourable Don Farrell and UK Secretary of State for Business and Trade, the Rt Hon Jonathan Reynolds MP, met on 3 June 2025, for the second meeting of the Australia-United Kingdom Free Trade Agreement Joint Committee.

    The Ministers celebrated the strong trade and investment relationship between the UK and Australia.  Two-way trade between our economies reached AUD36bn or GBP23bn in 2024.

    As of 2024, the stock of UK Foreign Direct Investment in Australia reached AUD156bn or GBP77bn, and Australian Foreign Direct Investment in the UK rose to AUD210bn or GBP104bn – an increase of 6.5% and 11.5% respectively on the previous year.

    The strong uptake of the Agreement’s benefits is resulting in real savings for businesses, workers and consumers.

    Since entry into force on 31 May 2023, AUD4.7 bn or GBP2.4bn worth of traded goods benefited from preferential tariff access, i.e. around 70% of goods traded between the UK and Australia made use of available preferences.

    Between June 2023 and December 2024:

    • AUD3.4bn or GBP1.8bn (65%) of eligible goods imports into Australia from the UK made use of an FTA tariff preference.

    Had this trade occurred at standard Most Favoured Nation (MFN) tariff rates, up to an additional GBP89m or AUD172m in duties would have been collected.

    • GBP662m or AUD1277m (77%) of eligible goods imports into the UK from Australia made use of FTA tariff preferences.

    Had these occurred at standard Most Favoured Nation (MFN) tariff rates, up to an additional GBP139m or AUD269m in duties would have been paid.

    The Ministers noted that free and inclusive trade is a cornerstone of prosperity in both countries.

    Recognising that open markets, and reliable legal and regulatory frameworks are essential for trade, the Ministers committed to strengthening the rules-based trading system.

    Ministers also noted progress on recognition of professional qualifications in key sectors through the FTA’s Professional Services Working Group, and the ongoing work under the FTA’s Innovation Chapter to explore the potential for a ‘biobridge’ between our countries to expedite new and innovative medicines, diagnostics, and therapeutics to market.

    The Ministers agreed to continue working together to strengthen the role that free trade plays in increasing prosperity and reinforcing resilience against economic turbulence and share the benefits of trade to all including through the World Trade Organization, OECD and Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP).

    PRESS RELEASE : Revamped Office for Investment cements UK’s position as top investment destination creating jobs and opportunities [June 2025]

    The press release issued by the Department for Business and Trade on 5 June 2025.

    The government has announced the launch of the revamped Office for Investment.

    • Bolstered OfI redoubles UK efforts to secure investment to drive economic growth as part of Government’s Plan for Change.
    • Since taking Office, Government has welcomed around £100bn in investment into the UK, with employment rising by almost 500,000 jobs.
    • New office ensures investment pitch aligns with UK’s modern Industrial Strategy, targeting investors in high-growth and foundational sectors.
    • Minister for Investment launches new Office with pitch to staff after PwC Survey rates UK as the 2nd best place in the world to invest.

    The UK’s highest growth sectors are gearing up for an inward investment boost as a new, revamped Office for Investment will provide enhanced high-end investor relations, commercial support and tailored opportunities for those looking to invest in the UK.

    Today [5 June], Minister for Investment Baroness Gustafsson CBE will launch the new Office for Investment which will be laser-focused on securing investment to drive economic growth, job creation and productivity across the UK, as part of the Government’s Plan for Change.

    The enhanced Office for Investment will be aligned with the Government’s upcoming modern Industrial Strategy, prioritising growth-driving sectors ranging from defence to clean energies, as well as foundational sectors such as steel, critical minerals and logistics.

    It will also actively pursue and manage major investment projects that support national growth missions and infrastructure strategies, helping to make the UK the best investment destination in the world.

    Minister for Investment Baroness Gustafsson CBE said:

    Securing investment is an integral part of this government’s Plan for Change, so I’m thrilled the Office for Investment will help drive even more investment into the UK, supporting job creation and boosting wages.

    Aligning with our upcoming modern Industrial Strategy, the OfI will deliver long-term growth right across the UK by providing support and stability for investors, giving them the confidence to plan not just for the next year, but for the next 10 years and beyond.

    By aligning investment resources under a single brand, the new Office for Investment will reduce confusion for investors and become increasingly proactive both at home and overseas in search of new potential investors for the UK.

    This announcement follows last year’s record-breaking International Investment Summit where the UK attracted £63 billion of new investments creating 38,000 jobs across the country.

    This builds on the latest PwC Global CEO Survey which rated the UK as the 2nd best place in the world to invest, after the USA.

    CEO of the London Chamber of Commerce and Industry Karim Fatehi OBE said:

    Setting a new course for the Investment Office has the potential to drive greater investment in London and the rest of the UK – creating jobs, building businesses and supporting economic growth. To remain relevant in a competitive market we must create the best conditions for international investors to succeed and prosper in the UK.

    The UK is already the most open, stable and connected economy in the world. Securing trade deals with the United States, India and a new agreement with the European Union demonstrates the UK’s commitment to free and fair trade, and how this Government will support real change for the British people as part of the Plan for Change.

    The UK continues to attract major investments across a range of sectors, including digital and technology, reinforcing its position as a global innovation hub.

    These investments include:

    • £24 billion investment pipeline between The Crown Estate and Lendlease, unlocking housing and science innovation hubs, with 26,000 new homes and 100,000 new jobs.
    • £1 billion investment by logistics giant DP World to build two new shipping berths at the firm’s London Gateway port, creating more than 400 permanent jobs.
    • Universal’s multi-billion-pound investment in a major new theme park and resort in Bedford which is estimated to bring a £50 billion boost for the economy and create around 28,000 jobs across the creative, hospitality and construction industries.
    • £10 billion partnership with OCBC, Singapore’s second largest bank to facilitate investment from the Asia Pacific region into priority growth sectors including energy, infrastructure and real estate.
    • £4 billion investment by the Malaysian group YTL in the UK over the next five years, which includes transforming the greater Bristol area and delivering over 30,000 jobs across the UK.
    • £200 million investment from European defence company MBDA, creating 700 high-skilled jobs in Britain’s defence industry.
    • £50m investment deal between JATCO, Nissan and the Government to build a new manufacturing site in Sunderland.
    • £170 million investment by international manufacturer Knauf Insulation in a new facility in Shotton, North Wales, creating 140 new jobs.
    • £300 million investment from Rolls-Royce in the expansion of their Goodwood facility to meet the growing demand for bespoke upgrades.
    • £500 million by JLR in its Halewood facility to enable the production of electric vehicles, alongside existing combustion and hybrid models.
    • US company Knighthead’s £3 billion regeneration project in East Birmingham, creating 8,400 new jobs annually, paving the way for a new 60,000-seater stadium alongside a sports campus of training facilities, a new academy, and community pitches.
    • Heathrow Airport announcing a multibillion-pound investment programme to expand the airport, including new terminal buildings, aircraft stands, passenger infrastructure and work towards its third runway.
    • $5 billion investment from Oracle to expand its cutting-edge cloud infrastructure in the UK – an initiative helping to position the UK at the forefront of the AI revolution.
    • Vishay investing £250 million to establish the world’s first compound semiconductor facility.

    Notes to editors:

    • The Prime Minister also announced plans for an enhanced Office for Investment just before the International Investment Summit, building on the recommendations of the Harrington Review.
  • PRESS RELEASE : Bank on the UK in volatile times’ Trade Secretary tells G7 and European businesses [June 2025]

    PRESS RELEASE : Bank on the UK in volatile times’ Trade Secretary tells G7 and European businesses [June 2025]

    The press release issued by the Department for Business and Trade on 3 June 2025.

    Trade Secretary’s message comes after UK sealed landmark deals with India, the US and EU.

    • Jonathan Reynolds to meet G7 and EU counterparts in Paris and Brussels to discuss economic security and global trade.
    • Trade Secretary targets economic growth and jobs, saying deals with India, US and EU make UK the most connected economy for global business.
    • Visit shows how Plan for Change is reducing trade barriers that will boost exports to the EU.

    The UK is a country that counterparts and businesses can bank on in increasingly uncertain and volatile times, Trade Secretary Jonathan Reynolds will tell G7 and EU ministers and commissioners on a three-day visit to Paris and Brussels.

    He will deliver the message at a G7 Trade Ministerial Meeting in Paris before travelling to Brussels for talks with EU counterparts and a speech to business representatives, policymakers, and diplomats at the European Policy Centre’s Economic Security Forum.

    The Trade Secretary’s message comes after the UK sealed landmark deals with India, the US and the European Union, positioning the UK as a global champion of free trade, delivering for British businesses and putting money in the pockets of working people.

    This will be delivered through the expected GDP increase by £4.8 billion thanks to the India deal, nearly £9 billion added to the UK economy by 2040 through the EU deal and the thousands of jobs saved across the country because of the deal with the US.

    He is also expected to meet US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer, India’s Minister of Commerce and Industry Piyush Goyal and EU Commissioner for Trade and Economic Security Maros Šefčovič to progress implementation of the trade deals and ensure businesses feel the benefits as soon as possible.

    Jonathan Reynolds will use the visit to reinforce that Britain is open for business as part of this Government’s Plan for Change to deliver on its core mission to grow the economy, raise living standards and put more money in people’s pockets.

    Ahead of the visit, Business and Trade Secretary Jonathan Reynolds said:

    Our deals with the US, EU and India are proof that the UK is the most connected country in the world to do business. Along with our modern Industrial Strategy, our Plan for Change is making the UK a safe, stable bet in uncertain times.

    We recognise our relationship with G7 allies and EU counterparts must continue to evolve and deliver a better trading environment for our businesses and exporters.

    That’s why we want to wipe away costly, business-blocking barriers and open up opportunities to grow our economy, create jobs and put more money in people’s pockets.

    The Business Secretary will use his visit to call for the UK’s new relationship with the EU to help businesses, and with almost 100,000 UK businesses exporting goods to the EU last year, and the upcoming Trade Strategy, the UK is continuing its work to build on the recent deals and tear down barriers to doing business around the world.

    As part of the trip the Business and Trade Secretary will also discuss the UK’s modern Industrial Strategy being published this Spring in his first ever in person meetings with the European Commission’s Executive Vice-President for the Industrial Strategy Stephane Séjourné and Executive Vice-President for the Clean, Just and Competitive Transition Teresa Ribera.

    The Business and Trade Secretary will also use the visit to hold in-person meetings with Laurent Saint-Martin, Don Farrell and Maninder Sidhu, the Trade Ministers of France, Australia and Canada respectively.

  • PRESS RELEASE : Over £7.4 million put back in working people’s pockets by employers [May 2025]

    PRESS RELEASE : Over £7.4 million put back in working people’s pockets by employers [May 2025]

    The press release issued by the Department for Business and Trade on 29 May 2025.

    Employers who have left workers over £7.4 million out of pocket by failing to pay the National Living and National Minimum Wage named.

    • More money put into the pockets of hardworking people, as government delivers the biggest upgrade to worker’s rights in a generation, as part of the Plan for Change
    • Workers will be paid over £7.4 million by employers after nearly 60,000 workers have been left out of pocket.
    • Action builds on recent uplift to the National Living and National Minimum Wage which puts £1,400 into the pockets of workers and families across the UK

    Nearly 60,000 workers who have been left out of pocket will be repaid over £7.4 million the Government has announced today [Thursday 29th May] in its latest move to Make Work Pay.

    This follows a significant uplift to the National Living Wage and National Minimum Wage – putting £1,400 into the pockets of full-time workers on NLW and supporting millions of families across the country – as well as the biggest upgrade to workers’ rights in a generation under the Employment Rights Bill.

    As part of the Plan for Change, this Government’s priority is to grow the economy and raise living standards. A strong economy can only be built when people have financial security whilst in work and robust enforcement action will be taken against employers who do not pay their staff correctly.

    The 518 employers and businesses named today have since paid back what they owe to their staff and faced financial penalties of up to 200% of their underpayment. The investigations by His Majesty’s Revenue and Customs (HMRC) concluded between 2015-2022.

    Minister for Employment Rights, Justin Madders said:

    There is no excuse for employers to undercut their workers, and we will continue to name companies who break the law and don’t pay their employees what they are owed.

    Ensuring workers have the support they need and making sure they receive a fair day’s pay for a fair day’s work is a key commitment in our Plan for Change. This will put more money in working people’s pockets, helping to boost productivity and ending low pay.

    Baroness Philippa Stroud, Chair of the Low Pay Commission, said:

    We welcome today’s publication. Underpayment leaves workers out of pocket and disadvantages the majority of employers who do abide by the rules.

    These naming rounds play an important part in ensuring that all workers receive their full wages and that they are aware there is support for them to ensure that they do.

    Putting more money into the pockets of the lowest paid increases workers’ financial security, offers stability to help increase staff retention and lowers recruitment costs for businesses in the long run.  Whilst not all minimum wage underpayments are intentional, the Government is clear that enforcement action will be taken against employers who do not pay their staff correctly.

    Ahead of permanently lowering tax rates for high street retail, hospitality, and leisure (RHL) from 2026/27, we have prevented the current RHL relief from ending this April, extending it for one year to ensure that over 250,000 RHL properties see a full 40 per cent reduction on their liability, and we have frozen the small business multiplier.

    Notes to Editors:

    • If workers suspect they are being underpaid, they can visit gov.uk/checkyourpay to find out more about what they can do.
    • Workers can also call the Acas helpline on 0300 123 1100 or visit their website for free, impartial and confidential advice or complain to HMRC at Pay and work rights helpline and complaints
    • The minimum wage law applies to all parts of the UK.
    • Employers should always carry out the necessary checks – see the guidance: Calculating the Minimum Wage
    • HMRC consider all complaints from workers, so workers are being reminded to check their pay with advice available through the Check your pay website

  • PRESS RELEASE : Ministers appoint Nigel Railton as permanent Post Office Chair [May 2025]

    PRESS RELEASE : Ministers appoint Nigel Railton as permanent Post Office Chair [May 2025]

    The press release issued by the Department for Business and Trade on 28 May 2025.

    Nigel Railton confirmed as permanent Chair of Post Office Limited following his appointment as Interim Chair in May last year.

    The Government has today (Wednesday 28 May 2025) confirmed the reappointment of Nigel Railton as Chair of Post Office Limited following a year in post as interim chair.

    Since being appointed in May 2024, Nigel Railton has provided stable and considered leadership as the Post Office seeks to right the wrongs of the Horizon IT scandal and works to transform vital services for millions of customers.

    This includes announcing his vision to deliver a New Deal for Postmasters, which aims to increase overall annual postmaster remuneration by £250 million, give a greater role to postmasters in the day-to-day operations of the business and provide an enhanced package of support from Post Office such as training and systems support.

    To recognise the ongoing transformation and the importance of stable leadership at the Post Office, ministers have appointed Railton on a permanent basis with his contract set to run until May 2028.

    On confirming the appointment, Post Office Minister Gareth Thomas said:

    Nigel Railton has been a steady hand guiding Post Office over the last year, providing a clear direction for the future of the organisation and certainty to postmasters.

    I’m pleased to see him appointed on a permanent basis and I look forward to working closely with him and the leadership team to deliver a better Post Office for customers and postmasters alike.

    Nigel Railton, Post Office Chair, said:

    I feel honoured to have my tenure as Chair of the Post Office extended. In the past year, we have begun the necessary work to transform this vital national institution and deliver a ‘New Deal for Postmasters’.

    I look forward to collaborating with my Board colleagues, many of whom have recently joined and have brought expertise in the fields of technology, government, and organisation transformation, as well as two new serving Postmaster Non-Executive Directors.

    Together as a Board, working closely with the new CEO and Executive team at the Post Office, I am determined to deliver increases to postmaster pay and strengthen their voice at the centre of decision-making at the Post Office.

  • PRESS RELEASE : Multi-million defence investment creates 700 jobs days after UK-EU security pact [May 2025]

    PRESS RELEASE : Multi-million defence investment creates 700 jobs days after UK-EU security pact [May 2025]

    The press release issued by the Department for Business and Trade on 22 May 2025.

    • Hundreds of high-skilled jobs created at defence firm MBDA’s expanded Bolton site, working on cutting-edge missile system manufacturing technology
    • Announcement comes just days after the Government signs new Security and Defence Partnership that will boost defence procurement opportunities for UK.
    • Business Secretary Jonathan Reynolds will visit site and hail investment as latest vote of confidence in Government’s upcoming modern Industrial Strategy.

    Britain’s defence industry received yet another boost this week as 700 high-skilled jobs are set to be created following a £200 million investment from European defence company MBDA at its site in Bolton.

    The announcement follows new Security and Defence Partnership signed at this week’s EU-UK Summit which will open the door to the EU’s new weapons scheme, leading to significant opportunities for the UK’s world-leading defence industries, driving growth and supporting 430,000 British jobs and livelihoods.

    This is the latest win for the UK’s leading defence and advanced manufacturing sectors and is further proof the Government’s Plan for Change is working.

    It also represents a major vote of confidence in the upcoming modern Industrial Strategy, which will drive investment in the UK’s high-growth sectors by giving businesses the certainty they need to commit to the UK.

    Business Secretary Jonathan Reynolds will visit MBDA’s Bolton site today (22 May) to formally announce the investment, which forms part of a wider £500 million commitment from the company to expand its UK manufacturing and technologies.

    Business Secretary Jonathan Reynolds said:

    This is great news for Bolton and another win for our world-class defence sector, which will create hundreds of good, well-paid jobs and ensure the UK continues to lead the way on the cutting-edge technologies of the future.

    Our new Security and Defence Partnership will unlock access to the EU’s proposed new £150 billion defence fund for UK firms. Coupled with the launch of our upcoming modern Industrial Strategy, communities across the country will see how our Plan for Change is working – delivering growth at home and strength abroad.

    The investment from MBDA, a leading missile systems manufacturer, will more than double its Bolton footprint by 2028 and grow its apprenticeship and STEM outreach programme, which already includes over 400 early-career professionals UK-wide.

    It also supports MBDA’s goal to deliver £10 billion of UK exports by 2032, cementing the UK’s position as a leader in the manufacturing and export of complex weapons systems, and comes after the Government announced a £6.5 billion complex weapons partnership with MBDA in July 2024.

    MBDA UK Managing Director Chris Allam said:

    We are proud and excited to be building a world class engineering and manufacturing campus in the north-west of England, the centre of complex weapons manufacturing for the UK, and our associated recruitment and training will extend our already great workforce.

    MBDA is privileged to have a 10-year Complex Weapons portfolio agreement with the UK Government. This gives us the confidence to invest and better support the UK and its allies. It also helps our supply chain and over 700 SMEs who work with MBDA in the UK. When we expand, they expand with us.

    Megan, a manufacturing apprentice at MBDA’s Bolton site, said:

    It’s great that our site is expanding and there will be more early-careers opportunities for young people. Becoming an apprentice was an obvious choice for me. Having the chance to learn as part of my full-time job and achieve a recognised qualification and career made it a very easy decision.

    Apprenticeships can be unique experience for each person. They provide the chance to excel in industries people are passionate about, and the experiences they get will shape their future. Making the most out of my apprenticeship has led to reward and recognition for my hard work, and I always encourage others to study STEM subjects and do the same.

    UK Export Finance CEO Tim Reid said:

    Pioneering companies like MBDA UK investing in their people and technologies for the long-term underscore why we are a world leader in defence.

    Thanks to our multi-billion-pound direct lending uplift, we can support even more defence firms to expand their production lines and take on more international orders from allies – leading to greater economic growth, stronger supply chains and local jobs back here at home.

    The Government is backing the defence sector to deliver skilled jobs and growth across the country as part of its Plan for Change and is providing significant financial support to UK defence companies through UK Export Finance (UKEF).

    In March this year, the Chancellor announced a £2 billion increase in UKEF’s Direct Lending capacity for defence exports, taking its overall lending capability to £10 billion.

    The UK is one of the largest exporters of defence equipment in the world, and in 2023 the UK won defence contracts worth £14.5 billion.

  • PRESS RELEASE : Board of Trade meet to help UK exporters take advantage of new trade deals [May 2025]

    PRESS RELEASE : Board of Trade meet to help UK exporters take advantage of new trade deals [May 2025]

    The press release issued by the Department for Business and Trade on 21 May 2025.

    Revamped Board of Trade meet for the first time off the back of trio of trade agreements with India, US and EU.

    • New Board of Trade to meet for the first time to boost exports and grow the economy
    • Comes hot off the heels of three trade agreements in three weeks with US, India and the EU all aimed at supercharging UK exporters
    • Delivering on Plan for Change to fire up small business exporters and grow the economy

    As part of the Government’s plan to boost small business exporters, the newly revamped Board of Trade will meet for the first time today, just weeks after the UK signed two landmark deals with India and the US and a new EU agreement which will boost exports of food and drinks.

    Led by Business and Trade Secretary Jonathan Reynolds, the Board is poised to become a cornerstone of the Government’s Growth Mission, Plan for Change and the wider modern Industrial Strategy to support British businesses to thrive and grow.

    The Board meet fresh off the back of the third major trade agreement in as many weeks, ensuring the UK is facing out into the world again to boost business, support workers and grow the economy.

    This week’s deal with the EU means a new SPS agreement will make it easier for food and drink to exported by reducing the red tape that placed burdens on businesses and led to lengthy lorry queues at the border.

    The new deal with India is expected to be a shot in the arm to the UK’s exports of whiskies and gin, cosmetics, medical devices, advanced machinery and lamb and is expected to increase bilateral trade by £25.5 billion.

    Trading with India will be quicker, cheaper, and easier thanks to improved customs processes and by promoting digital systems, which will be particularly important for SMEs who may have otherwise been unable to break into the Indian market.

    Meanwhile the groundbreaking US deal is expected to help grow on the existing £196 billion in annual exports from the UK, with tariffs slashed on the likes of cars and steel.

    Bringing together a powerhouse of business expertise to drive economic growth – the Board are tasked with supercharging UK exports, delivering targeted support for small businesses across the nation and helping firms utilise the exporting opportunities from the UK’s FTAs.

    The high-profile advisory body includes business leaders like Apprentice star Mike Soutar, BT Group Chief Executive Allison Kirkby, and Small Business Britain founder Michelle Ovens CBE, who will serve as ambassadors and advocates for British businesses.

    The meeting comes on the heels of historic trade breakthroughs with both India and the United States, which are set to deliver billions in economic benefits for British businesses and workers.

    Business and Trade Secretary Jonathan Reynolds said:

    “Today marks the beginning of a new chapter for British trade. This Board isn’t just a talking shop – it’s a hands-on, dynamic force that will help businesses of every size access global markets and seize the opportunities created by our landmark trade deals.

    “We’ve already secured the best deal India has ever agreed to, and our US agreement has slashed tariffs for our steel and automotive sectors, protecting hundreds of thousands of British jobs.

    “As part of our Plan for Change, we’re focusing that same determination on helping our small businesses – the beating heart of our economy – to trade more and grow more, supporting good jobs and higher wages across all parts of the UK.”

    The Board will advise on the delivery of the forthcoming Trade Strategy and Small Business Strategy, ensuring both align with the Government’s commitment to nationwide economic growth that raises living standards in every region and nation.

    It comes after the UK and India agreed a landmark trade deal worth £4.8 billion to the UK economy and £2.2 billion to wages every year and slashed tariffs across the board including on whisky, cosmetics, and medical devices.

    It comes also hot on the heels of the historic deal signed with the US, protecting jobs in the automotive, steel, aluminium, pharmaceutical and aerospace sectors – sectors that employ over 320,000 people across the UK.

    In addition, an estimated 260,000 jobs are supported by the auto industry in the wider economy and British farmers now have a major opportunity to sell their high-quality beef to a market of over 300 million people, helping farmers grow their businesses.

    The agreement laid the groundwork for greater trade in the future as we continue talks for a wider deal which will look to increase digital trade, better access for our world-leading services industries and improve supply chains.

    The first meeting of the Board comes as part of a wider series of measures to boost the number of high-growth SMEs across the country.

    The Government has already announced that it will launch a major consultation to tackle the scourge of late payments, while the Budget protected a million small firms from National Insurance increases, extended business rates relief and announced a new Business Growth Service to make it easier and quicker for SMEs to access and benefit from the right government advice and support for their business.

    Board of Trade Advisers

    Omar Ali, Board of Trade Adviser and Global Financial Services Leader at EY, said:

    “Global trade is fiercely competitive, and UK businesses that sell products and services to the world – especially small, entrepreneurial firms – must be supported as they contribute to the international market. Whether it’s UK financial services firms enabling better access to finance or improving digital infrastructure that protects trade, in today’s challenging economic climate, policies and action that enhance productivity and remove friction for SMEs are essential to boost exports and drive growth.”

    Catherine McGuinness CBE, a leading voice for financial and professional business services, said:

    “This is an auspicious time to meet, following the India and US trade agreements and the EU reset. I look forward to working with the Secretary of State and my fellow advisers to encourage the government to use trade levers to drive growth and help businesses to prosper across the UK.”

    Michelle Ovens CBE, Founder, Small Business Britain, said:

    “I am excited to work with the Board of Trade as it accelerates its vital work to boost exports and grow the economy. It is encouraging to see new deals struck in recent weeks and a real boost to energy and ambition. Almost all businesses in the UK are small businesses, and they have a major impact on the economy, employing millions and creating and supporting communities. I am really honoured to contribute to this mission and look forward to working together with all the Board Advisors and entrepreneurs themselves to show the world what the UK’s small business community has to offer.”

    Business reaction to the recent trade agreements:

    Bill Winters CBE, Group Chief Executive of Standard Chartered and Co-Chair of the UK-India Financial Partnership, said:

    “The UK-India Free Trade Agreement is a significant achievement. It will create new opportunities for UK and Indian businesses, enable greater access to one of the world’s largest and most dynamic markets, and drive growth and innovation across the UK-India corridor. We welcome this strong commitment to partnership and prosperity.”

    Shevaun Haviland, Director General of the BCC, said:

    “The US deal was met with a huge sigh of relief by many British businesses.  The reduction in the 25% tariffs on most of our automotive exports and the removal of levies on steel and aluminium were the biggest wins.

    “These sectors had been left reeling as jobs, investment and sales were all cut or put on hold. The framework agreement will give them some much needed certainty. They will be keen to see it quickly enacted so they can swiftly re-establish orders and supply chains.

    “With the India trade deal and the UK-EU Summit agreement also being recently agreed, the government should be congratulated on its recent achievements, but our economy still needs more. Global trading conditions remain precarious. Government must continue to pursue a bold trade agenda and help UK companies seize the opportunities in the fast-growing Indo-Pacific region.”

    On the UK-India FTA, Karen Betts, Chief Executive, The Food and Drink Federation, said:

    “We’re delighted the government has finalised its new Free Trade Agreement with India, which is testament to the hard work of the negotiating team. This is very welcome news for UK food and drink manufacturers, particularly for soft drinks, chocolates, biscuits, crispbreads and crackers, which will now all benefit from tariff-free access to one of the fastest growing markets in the world. The UK exported nearly £300m worth of food and drink to India in 2024, so this FTA represents a significant opportunity for British food and soft drinks.

    “The FTA will also provide UK manufacturers with greater access to ingredients produced in India, strengthening the supply chain resilience and competitiveness for our sector. We look forward to working with government to ensure that the full benefits of the agreement are realised across a wide range of UK food and drink manufacturers.”

    On the US deal, Karen Betts, Chief Executive, The Food and Drink Federation (FDF), said:

    “This is very positive news for the UK economy, and to be welcomed. There is obviously still the question of the 10% tariff that continues to apply to food and drink exports.  We hope that this deal creates the space and momentum for continued discussions about removing those tariffs too.

    “The US is UK food and drink’s third biggest export market, with £2.7bn worth of goods exported there in 2024, many of which are produced by small and medium sized businesses. Government can make a real difference here by providing greater practical guidance and support to help more food and drink businesses find new customers abroad.”

  • PRESS RELEASE : Major investment partnership worth £24 billion to transform key growth sectors and deliver affordable housing across UK [May 2025]

    PRESS RELEASE : Major investment partnership worth £24 billion to transform key growth sectors and deliver affordable housing across UK [May 2025]

    The press release issued by the Department for Business and Trade on 19 May 2025.

    A major new partnership between the Crown Estate and Lendlease has been agreed which will unlock housing and science innovation hubs across the UK worth £24 billion.

    • Joint venture between The Crown Estate and Lendlease will unlock housing and science innovation hubs across the UK worth £24 billion.
    • Major investment pipeline includes land portfolio with the potential to build 26,000 new homes, with around one-third allocated to affordable housing – supporting the government’s aim to build 1.5 million new homes by 2029.
    • Pipeline also includes plans to build vast new office space and labs, creating 100,000 new jobs across the country, boosting economic growth and delivering on the Plan for Change.

    Major new partnership from the Crown Estate and Lendlease with a Gross Development Value (GDV) of £24 billion will develop housing and science and innovation hubs and help create 100,000 new jobs and 26,000 new homes, backing the Government’s Plan for Change.

    The joint venture allows The Crown Estate to invest in Lendlease’s undeveloped UK land and land management portfolio, providing support on existing projects, helping to transform the UK’s science, tech and innovation sectors and deliver new housing.

    The projects have the potential to deliver around 10 million square feet of workspace and labs, and deliver vital investment in digital and technologies and the life sciences sectors – two of the key growth sectors in the government’s upcoming modern Industrial Strategy.

    The pipeline is also hoped to deliver over 26,000 new homes for people across the country – of which a third are expected to be affordable housing – backing this Government’s plans to build 1.5 million new homes and get Britain building again as part of the Plan for Change.

    In support of the partnership, the Chancellor and Minister for Investment met with Lendlease’s Group CEO Tony Lombardo and Dan Labbad, CEO of The Crown Estate in Downing Street

    Chancellor of the Exchequer Rachel Reeves said:

    We are pulling every lever to grow our economy so we can put more money in people’s pockets, boost home ownership and make Britain a global hub for life sciences through our Plan for Change.

    This includes creating the right environment for organisations like The Crown Estate and Lendlease to partner, helping us to unlock capital to get Britain building and get Britain growing.

    Minister for Investment Baroness Gustafsson CBE said:

    This is yet another strong endorsement of the UK’s investment environment and our thriving real estate sector as this government has committed to get Britain building again, a crucial part of delivering our Plan for Change.

    This pipeline and the creation of additional research labs across the UK, will be a massive boost for our world-leading science, innovation and technology sectors, all key growth sectors in our upcoming modern Industrial Strategy.”

    The government’s upcoming modern Industrial Strategy will make doing business quicker, easier and more profitable than ever before. Its 10-year plan will provide business with the certainty they need to invest and innovate in the growth-driving sectors that will shape the UK’s economy, drive regional development, enhance living standards and create high quality jobs.

    Businesses have identified that inadequate infrastructure has impacted the growth of UK firms, with the UK suffering from a chronic lack of lab space compared to other leading global hubs, but this pipeline will ensure high-growth sectors have the lab space, transport and housing they need.

    If the life sciences real estate markets of Cambridge, Oxford and London were to match their US counterparts by 2035, it could mean 67,000 more high-skilled, high-wage jobs and £4bn a year in additional GVA.

    Areas poised for office and housing development include around Euston Station, Silvertown and Thamesmead Waterfront in London, as well as Smithfield in Birmingham.

    The joint venture will provide a substantial boost to the UK’s thriving tech ecosystem, which is the third biggest in the world and worth more than £1 trillion.

    Group CEO of Lendlease Tony Lombardo said:

    This landmark partnership between our two organisations will combine our shared expertise in delivering city shaping precincts and creating long-term benefits for communities.

    As master developer, we look forward to working with The Crown Estate to unlock value within our UK development portfolio, for partners, government clients and our securityholders.

    Dan Labbad, Chief Executive of The Crown Estate, said:

    With strong support from local and national government, we look forward to working with Lendlease and others to realise the potential of these projects to create jobs, stimulate growth and positively impact lives, while also generating income for the UK.

    As a country, we face challenges to unlocking growth. To support this, we need to spark investment in sectors like science, technology, and housing, alongside deep collaboration across communities, government, and the private sector. This joint venture is an example of how The Crown Estate is harnessing its mandate to act in the UK’s long-term national interest, supported by new investment powers, and stepping up its ambition to support inclusive growth for the nation.”

    Since entering office, the government has been focused on restoring economic stability – the foundation of growth – to give businesses the confidence to invest and expand in the UK. Today’s announcement demonstrates how confidence in the UK’s investment environment translates to real jobs and growth for local communities.

    This major announcement comes due to the Crown Estate Act 2025 which increased The Crown Estate’s powers to unlock further investment, kickstarting growth and generating greater returns for the public purse whilst benefitting public services across the UK.

    Notes to editors:

    • The Crown Estate has a diverse £16 billion portfolio that includes urban centres and development opportunities; one of the largest rural holdings in the country; Regent Street and St James’s in London’s West End; and Windsor Great Park.

    PRESS RELEASE : Major Investment in North Wales delivers 140 new jobs [May 2025]

    The press release issued by the Department for Business and Trade on 19 May 2025.

    Around 140 jobs will be created in North Wales after Knauf Insulation unveiled plans to invest £170 million in a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility.

    • International manufacturer Knauf Insulation to invest £170m in a new facility in Shotton creating 140 new jobs
    • UK and Welsh Governments welcome the investment into new manufacturing facility
    • Announcement comes as UK and EU hold a summit to discuss future opportunities to boost economic growth

    Around 140 jobs will be created in North Wales after Knauf Insulation unveiled plans to invest £170 million in a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Shotton.

    The landmark development will produce more than 100,000 tonnes of non-combustible rock mineral wool insulation per year and create approximately 140 direct jobs, with more in local supply chains.

    The announcement coincides with the UK-EU Summit taking place today (Monday 19 May) underscoring the UK Government’s commitment to fostering economic growth through its Plan for Change and attracting inward investment to strengthen the economy.

    Secretary of State for Wales Jo Stevens said:

    This £170 million investment by Knauf Insulation is fantastic news for North Wales and our UK Government mission to drive economic growth.

    This is a vote of confidence in the Welsh economy and our government’s plan to make Britain the destination of choice for investment in industry.

    Cabinet Secretary for Transport and North Wales Ken Skates said:

    This is great news for North Wales. The plans will be a major investment in the area and are a testament to the skills and facilities we have here.

    This positive announcement is the start of the journey and we will continue to provide support as the work to deliver the project gets underway.

    Minister for Investment Baroness Gustafsson CBE said:

    The UK is open for business, and this is yet another vote of confidence in North Wales and its thriving advanced manufacturing sector which will boost jobs and prosperity across the region.

    Our modern Industrial Strategy, which will prioritise advanced manufacturing as one of eight key UK sectors, will help us go further by attracting even more investment, creating new opportunity across the country and making our Plan for Change a reality.

    Neil Hargreaves, Managing Director of Knauf Insulation Northern Europe said:

    Knauf Group has a proud history of manufacturing in Wales and this project aligns with the Welsh and UK Government’s commitment to sustainability and the industrial vision for North Wales and Deeside.

    Using UK-First Submerged Arc Furnace technology, the new factory will produce non-combustible, low embodied carbon, recyclable rock mineral wool insulation to support the need for safer, more energy efficient and sustainable buildings.

    Joint efforts by the UK Government, Welsh Government, and local leadership have paved the way for Knauf Insulation’s confidence in Wales as a destination for transformative projects.

    The UK and Welsh Government-backed North Wales Growth Deal and the Flintshire and Wrexham Investment Zone collectively support the decision by Knauf Insulation to locate a second plant in the area.

    As leaders in the production of sustainable building materials, Knauf Insulation’s expansion further supports the growing advanced manufacturing cluster in North Wales.
