Commenting on the launch today of the Government’s industrial strategy, Huw Evans, Director General of the Association of British Insurers (ABI), said:
“The insurance and long-term savings sector is one of the UK’s most productive, helping Britain thrive by insuring businesses of all sizes and powering the economies of towns and cities all over the UK. It is already a major backer of some of the innovative industries being highlighted by the Government’s industrial strategy and continues to be a driving force behind progress with driverless cars. We welcome the ambition of the industrial strategy, but it is equally important the Government values and supports the UK sectors which are already world-leaders, such as our own.”
