National automotive lead for the Manufacturing Advisory Service Rachel Eade (pictured) revealed the findings ahead of the Business Growth Service's first Automotive Finance Expert event in the region at MG Motors' Longbridge site on 19 March.
Delegates at the free event will hear from Professor David Bailey on the impact of the Budget and Jaguar Land Rover's Mike Mychajluk on the risk analysis carmakers use when assessing suppliers.
Eade continued: "Other sessions will cover export finance guarantees, getting the most out of capital allowances and then a panel discussion to tackle any other issues."
