In or Out: What is best for our industry?
In or Out: What is best for our industry?
Jaguar Land Rover, BMW, General Motors UK and Toyota UK executives have all voiced their opinion on the forthcoming vote that is looming on everybody’s mind. In or Out, but what will it mean for our industry? Here is what they had to say on the matter…
‘Remaining in the EU will increase our chances to grow, create jobs and attract investment in future technologies.’ Ken Gregor, CFO, Jaguar Land Rover.
‘We benefit from the free movement of goods and people, not to be part of the EU would be undesirable for our business and the sector as a whole.’ Rory Harvey, Chairman, Vauxhall.
‘Open and free access to the European market is of critical importance for our UK manufacturing business. Nearly 90% of all our vehicles are exported and 75% of vehicle production is made for our customers in the EU.’ Shigeru Teramoto, MD, Toyota UK. Although expressing his opinion, Teramoto reinforced the fact that his company will not be participating in the referendum campaign.
‘The UK auto manufacturing industry contributed £16bn to UK economic growth, and employed 800,000 workers.’ Society of Motor Manufacturers.
‘Brexit would lead to increasing costs, making our trading relationships uncertain and creating new barriers to our single biggest and most important market.’ Mike Hawes, CEO, SMMT.
Due to the benefit from the free movement of goods, services and people they have all expressed favour in remaining in the EU. However, a spokesperson for Vote Leave dismissed calls by auto industry bosses.
‘UK car exports are increasingly going to the rest of the world, not the EU. As such, a vote to leave could provide a boost to the industry as we would be free to sign free trade agreements with emerging markets – something we are currently forbidden from doing by the EU.’ Matthew Elliot, Chief Executive, Vote Leave.

First Class!
Dave and the team are fantastic. The fit on our first Mobile Bike Service and Repair Van could not be any better. From the very beginning, through the design process, all the way to completion I cannot fault a single thing.
As I write this, our second van is being fitted to exactly the same specification and the third van is on the way. Long may this partnership continue!

Very helpful and patient with an older guy who was a bit nervous ordering from a company I didn't know. The product I wanted wasn't on their website but I thought it worth asking and they had it at a good price. It came the next day and worked perfectly.

I highly recommend Lee, Dave and the Team at Vehicle Accessories after they did a fantastic job for a one off bespoke van fit for my business.
I approached them with a rather radical high concept idea, Dave did a great job taking notes from my extensive brief. He made a great effort to listen and take notes along the way making sure he understood and made suggestions for materials which really led to a much better end product.
A particular highlight was a suggestion for them to fabricate a wall mounted Steal Mesh cage system for my equipment which far exceeded my expectations of quality and engineering. During the planning stage and construction suggestions were made to change materials and systems for what they thought would work better for the project as it developed.
The end product was perfect and done to a very high standard, it really turned out better than I ever hoped for.
Communication throughout was excellent with regular updates, fast responses and easy dialogue when confirming details or discussing changes.
Changes were managed quickly and efficiently throughout the build with a great deal of flexibility and professionalism.
Even though I was just having just one bespoke build being done for myself I felt highly valued as a customer and treated with the same level of respect and attentiveness as someone ordering a fleet.
The quality of work and customer service will certainly mean I’ll be coming back for my next van project.

Great choice of equipment to fit and all done efficiently. They have designed and fitted racking to 75 vehicle for us in the last year.

I can’t recommend Lee and his team of wizards enough. They fitted the gas with all the safety requirements and modified / adapted several parts of the electrics. They went above and beyond my expectations - I won’t hesitate to use them again.

What can say.... the order process was simple, prices competitive and when it was realised that I had ordered 2 incompatible parts I got a call to check and recify the order. Collection was easy and the install team did a quick, neat job. Job done....until next time thank you

Dave, Lee and the team at VA moved crates from my old van to a new one. Easy to communicate with, quick turn around, met all my requests, made good suggestions (such as putting in a waterproof floor) and did an excellent job. Highly recommend.

Big thanks to Dave and the rest of the Vehicle Accessories team. They've done a great job fitting security locks and a floor in my new van. They also moved over my racking and interior lights from my previous van while going out of there way to make it all fit. Excellent service, very efficient and professional. Highly recommended and nice people to deal with.
Thanks
