Ready….. Steady…….Pause!!!!!
I have deliberately been avoiding compiling a blog referring to Brexit. Simply because I am not in a sufficiently knowledgeable position to provide informed comment. However a recent experience and articles I have read have prompted me to post this.
I recently purchased printer ink on line, only to discover because delivery was late, that it was actually coming from Germany. That had me questioning how much of our on line purchases are sourced from EU countries.
I am sure we are all aware of the significant investment currently being made in housing provision but did you know that most of the timber being used is sourced from Europe? What will be the impact on supply, cost and delivery after Brexit? Will builders be forced to seek alternate sources?
And another critical point, if your intellectual property is protected under EU regulation what will happen when the UK stands alone? How well prepared are you for this scenario? How vulnerable will you be to copycat predators?
