Key areas this article will explore are:

  • How has the UK’s industrial scene changed over the past few years?
  • What upcoming changes are on the horizon?
  • What consumer habits are driving investment in industrial production lines?
  • What things are taken into consideration when looking at this level of investment?
  • How do the financial agreements around this type of investment work?
