A key priority for the Government is rebalancing the UK economy so that growth in the manufacturing sector can match that of the services sector.

Alok Sharma MP works in the Cabinet Office on these issues and established the successful East-West Leaders’ Forum in 2014. Come and hear Alok outline the Governments’ views and plans on this important subject.
