Earlier this year, the Business Secretary described the automotive industry as
“one of the brightest stars in the constellation of British business”. Some 800,000
British people rely on this sector for their livelihoods and last year automotive
business increased its turnover to a record £69.5 billion, contributing £15.5 billion
to the UK economy. Vehicle and engine production will reach record levels and that
growth will be profitable, with productivity outperforming other industry sectors
and delivering twice the added value per employee than the national average.

November 2016
Trade mission to Iran and Nigeria
Mike Hawes
Chief Executive
British automotive products are in demand worldwide, with the UK steadily
climbing the global manufacturing rankings – Britain is now the third biggest
European car manufacturer and 14th in the world. We export cars, engines and
commercial vehicles to more than 100 countries, and the quality of our product
and engineering prowess is opening up new export markets, attracting significant
inward investment amounting to £8 billion since 2013.
For a small island nation, we punch above our weight on the world stage. But
to remain internationally competitive, we must look at macro-trends shaping
our world – the economic policies of emerging markets, evolving consumer
demographics and new connected technologies. We must understand how
these trends affect our business and build a robust, future-proof industry that
will continue to innovate, grow and deliver.
There are challenges to overcome: access to skills is critical for industry to stay
at the cutting edge of technology and innovation; the EU referendum could
have a dramatic effect on UK automotive’s attractiveness as an investment
destination; and, most recently, questions remain over effectiveness of emissions
testing which bears ever less relevance to real world performance, albeit for
sound scientific reasons.
Restoring consumer trust in our sector will be a test of our resilience, but we
must not allow recent events to blight the extraordinary technological progress
that has been made.
Today, however, is about the bigger picture; the long-term global economic and
societal situation. Our speakers will share their experiences and insight about
emerging trends, challenges, threats and opportunities.
Vehicle manufacturers worldwide are looking at opportunities
in Iran that the opening of the economy may offer.
According to OICA statistics, Iran sold over 1.2m vehicles
and produced just under 1.1m vehicles in 2014, making
Iran one of the largest car markets in the Middle East.
I hope you will take away ideas and inspiration to debate within your own
businesses. Thanks to all our speakers for generously sharing their time and
expertise and thank you all for attending the seventh International Automotive
Summit and contributing your own thoughts.
Nigeria has the largest population in Africa and in 2014
overtook South Africa to be the largest economy on the
continent. The country is attracting attention from global
automakers with Honda, Tata and Volkswagen all having
recently announced plans for investment or the resumption
of production there.

Namrita Chow, Principal Analyst, IHS Automotive
Paul is the first European chairman to have a background in sales and marketing rather than
manufacturing and he says this gives him a different perspective to the job. A large part of his role
is to bring a consistency to the Nissan brand in Europe; and another focus is to improve planning
capabilities so that appropriate rigour is applied to the products and investments that are made in
Europe to ensure the region meets its objectives.
