Midland Deburr & Finish Calls for Strong Leadership as New Government Prepares Autumn Budget


Chris Arrowsmith, MD of Midland Deburr calling for more support for manufacturing
As the new Labour government prepares to announce its autumn budget, Midland Deburr & Finish in Lye, a specialist in metal degreasing and vibro deburring of metal components, is urging the government to provide strong leadership and clear direction for the UK manufacturing industry. For decades, our company has played a crucial role in delivering precision and quality to a range of industries, including aerospace, automotive, and general engineering. Our processes of metal degreasing and vibro deburring ensure that components meet the high standards required for assembly and performance, and we are committed to maintaining those standards. Yet, we believe that a stronger partnership between industry and government is needed to secure the future of UK manufacturing.
 
Metal degreasing is a critical step in our workflow, ensuring that components are free of oils, residues, and contaminants that could impact their performance in high-stakes applications. This process is complemented by vibro deburring, which uses vibration and specially formulated media to smooth rough edges and achieve a polished, clean finish on parts. Together, these services are essential in ensuring that our clients receive components that are ready for further processing or assembly, contributing to the smooth functioning of supply chains across the country.
 
As a business deeply invested in the future of UK manufacturing, we have seen firsthand the impact of economic uncertainty and fluctuating policy priorities on the industry. What we need now is a commitment from the new government that goes beyond rhetoric—a concrete plan that provides stability, supports investment, and encourages the development of skills essential to our sector. This is particularly urgent as we face challenges in energy costs, supply chain disruptions, and a shortage of skilled workers, all of which require long-term solutions rather than short-term fixes.
 
We hope that the new government's autumn budget will take a bold stance in supporting manufacturing businesses like ours. Incentives for investment in green technologies, support for training programs to develop the next generation of skilled workers, and a clear strategy for energy security are all essential elements that could help the UK regain its standing as a global leader in manufacturing. We believe that with the right support, UK businesses can be at the forefront of innovation, sustainability, and high-quality production, setting an example for the world.
 
At Midland Deburr & Finish, we are ready to continue playing our part in the success of the UK manufacturing sector. But to do so effectively, we need a government that understands the importance of a stable, supportive environment where businesses can thrive. As the new Labour administration crafts its autumn budget, we urge them to listen to the voices of manufacturers, provide the leadership needed for a strong industrial base, and recognize that a thriving manufacturing sector is key to a prosperous future for the whole country. The time for decisive action is now, and we look forward to seeing a budget that reflects a true commitment to the success of UK manufacturing.
