- Managers’ top five priorities from a new government are: Securing trade deals with non-EU countries – 66 per cent, maintaining access to EU talent by guaranteeing the rights of existing residents – 58 per cent, investing in capital infrastructure – 53 per cent, maintaining investment in the Apprenticeship Levy – 30 per cent and promoting UK higher education as an export – 27 per cent.
Just 19 per cent called for a reduction in corporate tax to be a top priority.
Ann Francke, CEO of the Chartered Management Institute, commented, “Political leaders looking for a strong mandate from this election must consider the views of UK’s 3.2 million managers, who are key drivers of the UK’s productivity.

All parties should focus post-election on the need to build an internationally competitive economy based on a world-class skilled workforce.”
