Well, that's two pretty large and profitable jobs we lost this week as a direct result of Brexit
They were both confirmed earlier in the year however have now been pulled as a result of overseas distributors withdrawing support for UK companies and the market changing.
We're still very strong and will just have to work a bit harder to make up the difference. I was worried before the vote for this very reason and I say to those who suggest it won't have any influence on UK business you are wrong IMO.
I hope those who voted out feel warm and snug tonight and their jobs are safe

There will be individual winners and losers, but the most important thing is the country as a whole.
I was surprised, but perhaps shouldn't have been, that many of the Remainders I knew voted Remain due to personal financial interest. Usually having a personal interest makes one ineligible to vote because it affects one's judgement...!

Vastly different IMHO.
It's far too early to tell how actual Brexit will affect the UK.
What's it like down there in the sand? Vastly different IMHO.

Personally I don't like losing any work but clearly you are far richer than I am, let's hope it doesn't have a negative affect on your business.
Oh, and thanks for the ffs........great finish.

Out of interest, what area of business are you in?
We design and build exhibition standsEdited to clarify, I'm asking about now, not in 2017 as has been said we don't know exactly what will happen.
I suspect that given 6 months we'll have a much better idea where we stand.

Perhaps we should distinguish between 'knee-jerk reactions based on referendum result flapping', and 'Britain leaving the EU' - which won't happen for at least 2.5 years.
I noticed the front of the Daily Express today saying that house prices had gone up 10% in a month - seemed odd to me - is that true?
I also wonder why a trade deal takes two years and 300 'experts' to sort out.
'Wanna buy some fish?'
'How much?'
'£500'
'You're having a giraffe matey, £250 tops'.
'Hmm, £400 then'.
'How about £300?'
'£350 cash?'
'OK deal'
