Event Venue and Description: Barnsley & Rotherham Chamber, Unit 6 Genesis Business Park, Sheffield Road, Rotherham, S60 1DX

The UK is currently in the unenviable position of not knowing what’s going to happen on 31st October However, the worst case scenario in terms of disruption to business would be a hard Brexit. Overnight, not only would our goods be embroiled in delays at newly established border posts, those delays would be made worse by shipments not having the right documentation.

The UK doesn’t have control over the Withdrawal Agreement, nor over traffic jams at borders but there are elements that can be controlled: due diligence around what a hard Brexit will mean for businesses and having the right paperwork in place for when shipments (whether exports or imports) arrive at Customs posts, enabling them to pass through as quickly as possible.

Understandably, it would be preferable not to spend time and money on plans that in the end may not be needed.  However, even if a hard Brexit doesn’t transpire, by December 2020 some other trade deal will be in place that will still need mostly the same due diligence and paperwork. Why not end the uncertainly for your business and get it out of the way now?

The Chamber is offering a one-day, interactive workshop for business decision makers, aimed at clarifying the issues, uncovering areas of your business that may be impacted and discussing contingency plans available to you. At the end of the workshop, delegates will have a clear idea of which contingency plans to adopt for their own company, be they for a hard or soft Brexit – or indeed anything in between.
