Britain’s #manufacturers are calling on the next Government to make rolling out Devolution Deals across the whole of England a key local growth priority in order to bring the benefits of devolution to areas currently left behind. This should involve a more structured process which pulls together existing local authority and devolution legislation into one powerful devolution act, and include the introduction of US style ‘bond referendums’ to raise funds for regional infrastructure projects which are struggling to get national funding. The call was made by Make UK in a new report, “For or against? The case for further devolution,” which shows that #manufacturers have felt the transformational effect of devolution deals, and have benefitted greatly from existing devolution funding. However, companies felt that longer-term devolution plans would deliver more effective and lasting results for local business and growth. Faye Skelton, Head of Policy Make UK said: “Devolution has been an obvious success story for #manufacturers and should now be extended to bring the existing benefits to those areas of England which risk being left behind. This must start with a more streamlined and structured process which brings together the powers of Local Authorities and Devolution Deals into one Devolution Act." https://lnkd.in/dmsc9m7J #SupportUKmfg #ShoutAboutUKmfg #UKmanufacturing #UKmfg #UKmfgUnite

With the King’s Speech taking place today (July 17), calls are growing louder for further reform to business rates to aid footfall recovery in the retail sector. The British Retail Consortium (BRC) is pushing for a new fast-track planning system and reform of business rates after the latest figures revealed that UK footfall fell 2.3% year on year last month (July). That was according to the BRC-Sensormatic figures. https://lnkd.in/eZXV3dHU #retail #BRC #businessrates #rating #reform #footfall

On 4 March, Companies House acquired new powers that will make it harder for fraudulent operators to register as a limited company. The changes have not been in force for long, but businesses now need to provide more detailed information to register, and will be subject to stronger checks. This is a win for those at risk of tax avoidance schemes at the hands of the minority of umbrella companies that act illegally. It will make it harder for them to register and by enforcing the need for more information, such as registered office and email addresses, the government can begin rooting out bad actors that take advantage of hard-working contractors in the UK.

Scott Dawson Promoted to CEO of DECTA as Company’s UK Presence Expands Scott Dawson, CEO of DECTA, said: “DECTA has seen its greatest success in helping companies that have been stung by big industry names because they have fallen through the cracks and not received the specific service they need. Our product offering is broad, deep and flexible, which means we have everything required to service a wide variety of companies. We’re big enough to cope, but small enough to care and that’s the USP. I want to continue to focus on in this new position, which I couldn’t be happier to take on. The payments problems that merchants face are ever-evolving and our service very much includes a strong consultative approach – everyone says they do it, but we actually do it. “One of the most important cornerstones of our success to date has been a laser focus on our technology. We have relentlessly optimised our solutions, so we are always offering best-in-class solutions and are aligned with the newest trends in fintech. As well as growing the business with our current products and services, we have been working on exciting new projects which we cannot wait to launch throughout the year.” https://lnkd.in/e43Ax97F Ian Donegan Liva Vavzika Gerry Lynch #fintech #finance #banking #paytech #payments #fintechnews #paymentsnews
