SMMT Statement

Friday 7 January, 2022

“Everyone at the SMMT, and the wider UK automotive industry, is shocked and deeply saddened to learn of the sudden passing of Jack Dromey. Jack was a dedicated and passionate supporter of the UK automotive sector and, especially, of the people who work within it. A tireless campaigner for many causes, he gave freely of his time to support our sector, providing advice and insight drawn from in depth knowledge of businesses and people not just from his West Midlands constituency but across the manufacturing sector. A lovely, engaging, and decent man with a terrific and self-deprecating sense of humour, he was a brilliant public servant who will be greatly missed. Our thoughts are with his family and friends. ”
