🗣️ Shevaun Haviland: "The structural trade problems created by #Brexit have not eased and, in many respects, they are getting worse as EU and UK rules and regulations head in different directions.      “The Government has talked a lot about a new era of trade relations with the EU. But firms are grappling with increasing costs off the back of the Autumn Budget and this change cannot come soon enough." How do we make Brexit work and get the UK economy growing strongly again? Our new report has 26 ideas on what could be done. 👇 #Chambers #wherebusinessbelongs https://lnkd.in/eK46yNsd
