Coke

Question: To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills, what plans the Government has to support the coke industry in the UK.

Answer

UK coke companies can access help and advice to grow their business through ‘GREAT” (www.greatbusiness.gov.uk or www.gov.uk): eligible businesses can gain support in areas such as running, funding, staffing and expanding a business. The Government funded Manufacturing Advisory Service provides practical support on all aspects of manufacturing, including direct access to manufacturing experts with a proven track record (www.mymas.org/services). There is also support available from UK Trade and Investment (UKTI) for those companies wishing to grow through international trade.

The Advanced Manufacturing Supply Chain Initiative (AMSCI) provides support for the anchoring and growth of manufacturing supply chains in the UK. A new £100 million round of AMSCI is open until 31 December 2014.
