Brexit Headlines

EU referendum in June
2016, the Government has
announced that Article 50
will be officially triggered on
the 29 March 2017, begin-
ning the formal process of
the UK’s withdrawal from the
European Union
The potential impact this
may have to the UK econ-
omy is unknown, as details
regarding the ‘Brexit deal’
have not been disclosed by
the Government.
• Karen Briggs, Head of Brexit at KPMG, explains however likely it seems that there will be ‘Brexit
Deal’ businesses still need to plan for a ‘no deal’ scenario. Financial services, Pharmaceuticals
and Energy are relying on the government to deliver a smooth and orderly Brexit because of
the large amount of regulation within the respective sector currently under EU law. There have
been five areas of concern that have been highlighted, these are; access to labour, additional
traffic and tariff barriers, uncertainty of a closed negotiation process, potential cliff edge and
relocation and revised supply chains.
Banking, Insurance and Industrial Manufacturing are the best prepared sectors for Brexit, the Au-
tomotive, Life Sciences and Logistics sectors are not too far behind. It is worrying that some firms
are not yet preparing for Brexit, this could have a knock-on effect further up or down the supply
chain and could hamper efficiency and growth. Smaller businesses are in favour of having
access to the single market and talent and hoping that there will not be additional administrative
burdens which could affect the business. They will also need more support to be able to take
advantage of new trade opportunities. – ‘Article 50 Tigger Date: Political and Business Reaction’,

• Brexit could have a major impact on the UK workforce and on Britain’s ability to recruit inter-
national talent. There are 2.1 million European Union immigrants working in the UK. With major
skills shortages in industries such as construction, engineering and IT, EU migrants provide the
British economy with vital skills which are in short supply among the indigenous workforce. Im-
migrants also make up a substantial proportion of the unskilled, low-paid job market, as well as
making a big contribution to the healthcare sector – 11% of all NHS staff are not British. Brexit
could also present challenges to businesses that employ EU nationals, forcing them to invest
more in British workers as well as potentially increasing the regulatory barriers to recruiting staff
from Europe. While it is not clear yet what status European migrants would have if the UK with-
drew from the EU and its freedom of movement policy, business leaders are already expressing
concerns about what impact it might have on their ability to recruit the skilled workers that they
need. – Data Quarks, [dataquarks.com/what-brexit-could-mean-for-the-uk-workforce]
