This week I am spending a few days at our Manchester office in Trafford. For Brexit planning.
First we have had a Management Team meeting and secondly we had the Monthly Board meeting here in Trafford, Manchester.
It was also great to meet colleagues and staff here in Manchester.
Obviously a lot of Brexit planning to help our clients – old and new – with Brexit consequences and challenges related to trade, borders, customs and security.
And a great view from the office windows. We cam allost touch the Theatre of Dreams (Old Trafford).
I was interviewed about Brexit consequences for Swedish business and the article is oublished in todays’ issue of Dagens Industri (Swedish ”Financial Times”).
The main question was (and is) why is business not prepared for Brexit.
“It is allmost unbelievable that so few companies have prepared properly for Brexit”
There are many reasons. The most evident ones are the percieved uncertainty of what is going to happen. While we in reality already know from a Customs perspective to maybe 80% what will be needed – and thus should all companies in trade, value chains and supply chains involving United Kingdom prepare accordingly. A trader not doing the preparations properly are gambling and could face enormous difficulties both in realtion to cost, speed and predictability. A Brexit analys and action plan should include and cover 50-55 areas. Start preparing today or even better yesterday. We have still not met one single trader that has been prepared enough…
It is 34 days to Brexit.
Yesterday the IK Government Brexit negotiator Steve Barclay reported about some orogress on the Irish Back Stop issue.
Today Prime Minister Theresa May is off to Brussles for a meetimg with EU President Jean-Claude Juncker. It is getting closet o crunch time.
It is rumoured that PM May will present a new proposal on how to break the deadlock in the negotiations and find a way to mitigate the concern raised by the House of Commons.
