For business owners, now is the time for making plans to exploit new opportunities for trade and/or mitigate the effects of leaving the EU. Henrietta Brealey, policy and strategic relationships directors at the Greater Birmingham Chamber of Commerce says “ “While some such questions of trade will have to emerge from negotiations with the EU, others such as the detail on the UK’s future immigration system and replacements for EU funding streams sit entirely in the hands of the Government. It is of upmost importance that the Government prioritises providing real clarity on these key questions so that businesses, who create the jobs and growth which keep this country moving, can meaningfully prepare.”
Whilst questions around people, regulation, trade and funding remain for the future, Worcestershire businesses have an opportunity to get some free, very practical, guidance and support with plans to leave the EU from people who are experienced in international trade. You can sign up to a one to one meeting with Steve Parker of International Company Development or Gill Hutchinson of Aardvark Marketing on brexitready.me . These support sessions are only available in February or March 2020, so you need to be quick to seize the opportunity!
Listen to the interview with Gill Hutchinson and local business owner, Craig Carr of Fairburn Heating Solutions about this free support program on BBC Hereford and Worcester.
This program is sponsored by Worcestershire Business Central and the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy.
