IfG Events

Is business ready for Brexit?


Listen Later

This is an audio recording of an IfG Live Event. With the Government adamant that the UK will not seek to extend transition from EU trading arrangements, it is more important than ever that businesses are prepared for a dramatic change in trading conditions. However with many firms reeling from the economic effects of lockdown, preparing for the end of the year will be a tall order. Ongoing uncertainty about the shape of the UK’s future relationship with the EU only makes the task more difficult.

How ready are businesses, what still needs to be done and how can Government help? Maddy Thimont Jack, Senior Researcher at the Institute for Government, welcomes a panel of experts from businesses of different sizes and across a range of sectors to talk over these pressing issues.

Panellists:

  • Sonali Parekh, Head of Policy at the Federation of Small Businesses
  • Ian Wright, Chief Executive of the Food and Drink Federation
  • George Riddell, Director of Trade Strategy at EY
  • Lloyd Mulkerrins, Policy Manager at the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders
