Back British Metals (BBM) has announced its commitment to positioning the UK metals industry as a driver of the UK economy and resilience after meeting with Parliament.

At the latest strategy meeting, industry leaders and stakeholders outlined the sector’s priorities in the short, medium and long term. Discussions focused on global competitiveness, investment potential and securing the place of metals in the UK’s industrial strategy, underlining the sector’s crucial role in the nation’s economic future.

Mike Smith, representative of BBM assures that at the moment there is a great opportunity for the UK metals industry. He believes that new elements joining it, such as artificial intelligence and all the working tools that respond to green energy depend on metals, therefore, boosting the UK metals value chains will bring an overall improvement for the whole economy.

BBM is currently focused on gaining recognition in UK politics as the government omits metals as a growth sector, despite its enormous weight in infrastructure development, defense and other advanced industries.
