#BSA welcomes government’s #IndustrialStrategy. Has worked closely with government in its development. Great to see recognition of importance of Professional and Business Services, with its Sector Plan, and of the role public procurement can play Jonathan Reynolds Gareth Thomas MP

Mark Fox, Chief Executive of #BSA: “Today’s #IndustrialStrategy rightly puts business services at the heart of efforts to drive growth, jobs and innovation. It recognises the contribution the sector already makes, and gives it a strong platform for the future...."
