Aston Martin has called on politicians in Britain to provide clarity about the nation’s position in Europe on the back of shock general election results.
In a statement, company chief executive Andy Palmer said that the local automaker needs reassurances in order to correctly allocate funds and continue with investments.
“We cannot stress strongly enough the need for rapid and decisive policy direction to ensure that business can continue to invest for the long term growth and ensure the global competitiveness of the British economy.
“Clarity over our relationship with Europe must be established quickly together with the wider reassurance to our key trading partners that Britain remains a dynamic and thriving business environment,” Palmer said.
British prime minister Theresa May called an early election, not due until May 2020, on April 19th in a bid to further strengthen her position of power and accelerate the nation’s exit from the European Union. However, on the June 8 election, May actually lost her majority in parliament and has been forced to recruit the Democratic Unionist party to remain prime minister, thus potentially delaying Brexit negotiations.
