NFDA manifesto to launch this week
03 June 2024
The NFDA will this week launch its election manifesto for the next government. The aim is to secure support and see the next government work with the sector and offer robust support on key issues.
The NFDA will have seven key ‘asks’ from the next government. Top of the list is restimulating the private EV new car market, while overhauling the “flawed” apprenticeship levy is another target. The NFDA also wants mandated annual public chargepoint targets, and for the next government to bring down business rates.
“The next few years will be crucial for our industry,” said NFDA chief executive Sue Robinson, “and it is essential that the next government works with the sector and offers robust support on these key issues.’
In announcing the manifesto, Robinson points out that auto retailers employ 78% of the 758k people working in UK automotive, which has a turnover of £100bn.
