Post Brexit Vote- Suggestions for Covering Foreign Exchange
Since the EU referendum, so much has already happened and many new questions about the future of Britain have been raised. It will be sometime before the full implications of Brexit are known and when we will see exactly what a post-Brexit UK will look like but the days since the referendum have provided a glimpse of what is in store while that picture takes shape. While the new Prime Minister Theresa May and her Cabinet in Westminster work a Brexit strategy and then implement it the UK faces a protracted period of uncertainty that presents businesses with both opportunities and challenges.
