As well as this, a range of resources, including 1-to-1 support sessions, live webinar events and more from the
Leicestershire Business Gateway Growth Hub.Doug Andrews of Market Harborough based business,
Globe 2 Ltd - Integrated Business Solutions recently attended one of the free
EU Transition Exit, one-to-one advice sessions, provided by the
Growth Hub, with a specialist international trade advisor.
As a result, he received a customised EU Exit action plan, setting out the key issues for his business.
Doug said afterwards,
'The advisor was able to help me gain a better understanding of the implications of the EU Exit for my business, which allowed me to take the necessary actions so that I could continue to support my clients in Europe, whilst ensuring that we were complying with the new arrangements. I would strongly advise other businesses to take up this opportunity, or complete the Government's EU Transition checklist.'Find out more about the support available via the Growth Hub
