Business regulation and the politics of change

FMCG and manufacturing are at the heart of the UK economy and are vital to the nation’s economic growth and employment. But following the UK’s withdrawal from the EU and the Covid pandemic, these industries have been hit harder than most and are now under the spotlight for reform. DeHavilland’s FMCG and manufacturing clients stay one step ahead because they understand this complex landscape and know when it changes in real time.

DeHavilland political intelligence for FMCG and manufacturing

Keep up with regulatory changes

From the Windsor Framework and the future trading relationship with the EU and other names, regulation for the sector remains unclear. Global events also effect change, for example Government procurement is now a focus following scrutiny over Covid contracts.

DeHavilland’s real-time alerts highlight all the changes as they happen while our in-house team of experts keep you up to date with the legislative developments that impact you, your industry and your clients.

You need to understand the position of Government, the ruling party and those in opposition. But when it comes to business, you also need to look beyond Government to regulatory and arm’s-length bodies.

DeHavilland monitors political updates from official government sources alongside the organisations that have the power to influence your direction of travel.

Understand your sentiment in parliament

Maybe you are being discussed in parliament, perhaps your competitors are or even your industry as a whole. From issues around labour shortages to energy security, you need to understand the lens through which policymakers perceive you to build and improve your public affairs strategy.

DeHavilland tracks all mentions of your custom search terms from every political source and uses the latest sentiment analysis tools to help you understand your position today, and what you need to do to improve it.

In an environment of constant change and the next general election imminent, you need to understand who your stakeholders are now and in the future.

DeHavilland PeoplePoint lists thousands of contacts from MPs and SpAds to councils and regulatory bodies, and even prospective parliamentary candidates, so you can map out your target decision makers and engage them directly.
