Raj Kandola, head of policy at GBCC said: “Analysis from our latest Quarterly Business Report survey revealed the ongoing disruption that many businesses continue to face when trading with their European counterparts.

“Whether its additional costs, further delays or increased paperwork, there are a number of issues which continue to impact local firms and that 's why these events are so important.

“The Brexit series offer local businesses free advice on how to alleviate these issues but also offer specific technical advice on trading arrangements and the practical support businesses need to smooth trade flows - I would urge local businesses that trade internationally to book on. ”
