RE: Anyone have a prediction which way this is going10 Jun 2026 17:36
Thanks to everyone for replying. I think I will wait another day or two for the price to settle. Some good news will be pulled out the hat for an uplift soon as always.
Looks like we are up slightly compared to this time last year despite all the delusion. Any thoughts on the next twelve months as thinking of adding a few more in this dip.
For the SME community watching nervously from the edges of the automotive ecosystem, the more interesting numbers sit beneath the eye-catching JLR headline. Of the remaining £320 million, £100 million has been earmarked for firms in the West Midlands and the North East to retool factories and retrain workers for the EV supply chain, while a further £47 million will flow to smaller battery innovation projects. Additional tranches will support the adoption of AI, robotics and digital manufacturing techniques among smaller engineering businesses, alongside skills funding for sixth forms and further-education colleges.
