A pragmatic solution that works for the industry, the consumer and the environment. Three much-needed years to get pan-European battery output up to meet demand. Thanks to Nusrat and all in Government for persistence and patience!

Great to have you join us today @KemiBadenoch setting out the UK’s trade ambitions and the importance of auto as part of the £1 trillion export target. Look forward to the advanced manufacturing plan and how it will help the sector compete globally.

@British_Airways why do I pay extra for a BA ticket with hand luggage included only for you to take it away. Every time. And I’m a supposed BA Exec Club member. God knows how you treat those who are not.

Highlight of the evening… delighted and proud to have you there and hopefully we can get more inspirational people like him into the auto sector. We need them more than ever.

What terribly sad news. Such a lovely man and truly a motor racing legend. Tremendously hard working, passionate about the industry and always had a twinkle in his eye. Hugely supportive of all at SMMT, it was a privilege to have known him. Thoughts with Patrick & all the family.

So sad to report that the great Paddy Hopkirk has passed away.
He was my hero and my friend - a motorsport legend who inspired me with his work ethic. And he made me laugh. Lots. Often on the tennis court🎾
Big hugs to the family - statement below
Game, set and match to Paddy❤️
