SMMT Industry ForumIndustry Forum was formed

in 1994, initially as a unique

collaboration between leading

vehicle manufacturers, SMMT

and government to improve the

performance and competitiveness of

the UK’s automotive supply chain.

Continued measurable success has led to

sustained growth into many other sectors including

aerospace, construction, domestic appliances,

electronics and food. Industry Forum now provides

support to blue chip organisations in more than 30

countries across five continents.

The Motor OmbudsmanThe Motor Ombudsman is the

automotive dispute resolution

body. Fully-impartial, it is the

first ombudsman to be focused

solely on the automotive

sector, and self-regulates

the UK’s motor industry through its comprehensive

Motor Industry Codes of Practice which have each

been approved by the Chartered Trading Standards

Institute’s Consumer Codes Approval Scheme (CCAS).
