Alistair Darling said:"Skills are key to Britain winning in the global economy. "The Automotive Academy is a blue-print for what we want to see across the whole of manufacturing, with higher skills bringing more efficient businesses.

Joe Greenwell, Chairman of the Automotive Academy board said: "The Academy has made significant and measurable improvements to the effectiveness of the curriculum, and to training and assessment standards in our sector. I look forward to seeing the National Manufacturing Skills Academy extending this quality of delivery across the manufacturing base."

Alistair Darling was speaking at the 4th annual lecture of the Automotive Academy, which was given by Fujio Cho, chairman of the Board of Toyota. Toyota announced this week that its new Auris model would be built in the UK, at Burnaston in Derbyshire, with engines from Deeside, North Wales.
