UK Government to run Brexit business readiness events

The UK Government is running a series of free 'get ready for Brexit' business readiness events across the country.

As part of its Get Ready for Brexit campaign, the UK Government is running a series of free 'get ready for Brexit' business readiness events across the country during September and October, offering businesses help and advice on how to prepare for Brexit. These free events will be visiting all parts of the country, allowing businesses to meet government advisers to discuss what they need to do to prepare for Brexit, understand what's changing in their industry, and information on specific rules and regulations. These events will provide specific business-focused advice and help and will combine a keynote address, interactive support and advice stands, and in-depth sessions led by subject matter experts.

Business intermediaries are also welcome at these events, as one of the features specifically designed for these events is a session that provides information along with a pack for you to use with your members and networks.
