Mighty Mini

THE Mini may be a small car, but it is a big success story.

That success looks set to continue now BMW has decided to build the electric model of the car at its Cowley plant.

First and foremost this is a testament to the skill of the workforce. They are behind the renaissance of Britain’s automotive industry.

BMW’s faith also shows that, while Brexit is going to be tough, the efficiency and innovation of our manufacturing sector gives hope we can weather the stormy days ahead.

The advent of electric vehicles is revolutionising the car industry and we must make sure the UK remains in the fast lane.
