Businesses invited to talk about Brexit

The government wants to speak to local businesses this week about the potential impacts of Brexit.

Officials are inviting organisations to attend a Q&A session - hosted by the Chamber of Commerce - aiming at helping manufacturers, food producers, importers and exporters prepare for Britains departure from the EU on October 31.

Those who attend will hear an introduction from Enterprise Minister, Laurence Skelly MHK, after which businesses can speak with representatives from the DfE, DEFA, Customs and Excise and the Cabinet Office.

It'll take place at the Best Western in Douglas from 8.30am on Friday (September 27) - tickets can be booked at www.iomchamber.org.im.
