Manufacturing

Manufacturing remains an essential component of the UK’s economy, representing 51% of total exports, 9.8% of economic output, and valued at £183bn (2022). Further to this, manufacturers account for 15% of total business investment into the UK, demonstrating the strength and innovation of the sector on the global stage.

The UK’s manufacturing industry is broad, with some of its biggest exports coming from Chemicals and Pharmaceuticals, Rubber, Plastics, and non-metallic Minerals, machinery, and food and drink.

Trends impacting the manufacturing industry include a consumer-led push towards sustainability, the automation of production process, and the need to upskill the workforce in an increasingly high-skilled workplace. Because of this, the sector is largely driven by the need for ever-increasing efficiencies and visibility as firms seek to bring their supply chains nearer to home markets to reduce the financial and environmental impact.

What Our Clients Say

“We were delighted with the debt advisory support we received from Polestar. We were looking for flexible banking facilities to support the growth of People Value and Polestar lead the identification of several banking partners and supported us in tailoring the facilities“

Pascal Wittet, Ethos Partners

“I was very pleased with the advice, guidance and support provided by the team. They were very effective at finding the right buyer, and negotiating a successful sale. However, in retrospect it was equally important that they were enjoyable to work with, making the experience considerably less stressful than it potentially could have been.”
