How has leaving the Single Market affected trade with the EU? Have supply chains been affected? Can the Brexit effect be separated from other factors?

How will trade with other markets near and far be impacted?

What do the trade statistics actually mean and what do the trends imply for the future?

How will this affect us?

It was reported that the number of UK businesses exporting goods to the EU fell by a third (2020-2021) according to new data from HMRC, due to the extra red tape when exporting to the EU. Numerous businesses have simply ceased trading due to the loss of the EU market.

Bring your questions to the trade expert David Henig and listen to his perspective on UK trade after Brexit.
