Download Your Brexit Checklist Now

The UK left the European Single Market and the EU Customs Union on 1st January 2021. This has caused a number of implications and new guidelines that still need to be implemented by retailers across their supply chain. According to the latest research, almost a third of retailers were not ready for Brexit and with nearly two thirds of shoppers concerned about increased costs — this is the time to act.

Between the COVID-19 pandemic and Brexit, it’s a challenging and uncertain time for the retail industry. In order to succeed, brands and retailers need to take action now to understand the implications of Brexit on their entire supply chain.
