The British Army has ushered in a new era of armoured vehicle technology as they embark on extensive trials for the cutting-edge Boxer armoured vehicle, which sets a new standard for armoured fighting vehicles (AFVs). Designed with flexibility, robustness, and mission adaptability in mind, the Boxer can operate in diverse terrain, under various combat situations. The ability to transport troops, serve as a command vehicle, an ambulance, or even a cargo carrier underlines its multipurpose potential.
For some reason, many people believe that British manufacturing is dead and claim we no longer make anything. While suggesting that Great Britain transformed the industry is perhaps reaching but we know for a fact that we are still producing many products across various sectors. In this article, we look at the story of British manufacturing with some information from Phil Hamlyn Williams, the author of a new book, How Britain Shaped the Manufacturing World.
Even though the British manufacturing sector is the ninth-largest in the world, Brexit has already had an impact and it could get even worse. Factories in Britain have suffered a sixth consecutive month in October showing fewer new orders thanks to the ongoing Brexit uncertainty. The industry is facing a tough future with weakened global demand for UK manufactured goods and employment issues.
According to an industry survey, Brexit has not only affected demand but also an increase in job losses. The survey was conducted before the announcement of the election which reflects two months of preparations for leaving the EU on 31 October. Of course, we all know what happened with that story.
