brexit IMPACT on BUSINESS?

The Brexit workshop delivered was extremely well received by our clients who found it informative, easy to follow and a huge help to them and their business. Thank you for all your continued support!

We have had the pleasure to host the Brexit seminar twice at the City Business Library, with speakers Dr Guido Reinke and Sietske de Groot. The seminar is of great practical use for any business already trading or looking to trade internationally.  The presenter for each seminar gave a very informative overview of potential impacts of leaving the EU, and there was time for specific questions on different industries. Totally recommend it.

Attendees at the Waltham Forest workshop came from a broad spectrum of sectors, sizes and stages and it was amazing to see everyone gain so much from their participation. The depth and breadth of material shared was spot on and we all came away feeling better informed and prepared, thanks to the engaging and open tone struck by the presenter. The team at BrexitHelp.net were a pleasure to work with throughout and their professionalism ensured smooth organisation throughout.

Sietske’s talk was excellent and exactly what was needed given the timing of Pure London’s AW20/21 edition. The session provided essential business insights to help both brands and buyers navigate the changing trade landscapes both pre and post-Brexit, a political situation that none of us have ever experienced before. An incredibly valuable addition to the Pure London speaker line-up that was both topical and informative.

Through 2019, dozens of Hackney-based businesses attended sessions of the London Growth Hub’s “Navigating Brexit for SMEs” (which was delivered by BrexitHelp.net) Sietske de Groot and Rosina Robson delivered a number of detailed information sessions which provided Brexit context and support to our SMEs across a wide range of business sectors. They provided quality advice, helping our businesses identify challenges, and indeed some opportunities. The BrexitHelp team had a detailed and clear action plan, which was accessible to all businesses and highlighted the importance of preparation in order to stay resilient.  These are personal, bespoke and professional workshops, that I’d highly recommend.  

Chris and his team from the London Growth Hub delivered an excellent workshop on “Navigating Brexit For SMEs” for Richmond Council on 20 June 2019 which enabled us to support more local businesses through the maze of Brexit complexities!   The advance preparatory material was well thought through; the presentations were very relevant, useful and easy to understand; and the workshop follow up, including attendance certificates, was appreciated by all.  Very good team approach overall and offered good value to our local business community.  

We really appreciated the workshop you ran for us. It came at a time of great uncertainty and your advice was much appreciated. Sietske was incredibly knowledgeable, professional and communicative. She managed the crowd of concerned business owners diplomatically and delivered the workshop in a calm and personable manner. With plenty of time for one to one advice afterwards. I would highly recommend BrexitHelp [now ResilienceHelp.com] for support and assistance. They provided a useful foundation and understanding of the issues involved in Britain leaving the EU and what that meant for our business members going forward.

I run the Start-ups in London Libraries program for the London Borough of Waltham Forest. We work with the British Library and nine other London boroughs to deliver ERDF-funded workshops to pre-start-ups and early stage entrepreneurs, in the space of our lovely local libraries. It is important that we consistently seek out service providers who can inform our customers about external factors that may impact their business. Naturally Brexit was a key concern for many of our stakeholders, so we were thrilled to be able to welcome Chris and Sietske from Brexit Help during one of our core workshops. The information they presented was insightful for the 30+ participants – feedback was that it helped them to think about Brexit in a different way, to evaluate how their business might be at risk, to be aware of the Brexit support resources available to them, and to be more at ease with the ambiguity of the situation. We were grateful for the content provided, and for Chris and Sietske’s enthusiasm in sharing their knowledge.

LB Brent were delighted to host two ‘Navigating Brexit for SMEs’ sessions to help prepare businesses ahead of the UK exiting the EU. The presenters were extremely knowledgeable in this area and pitched information to attendees at the right level. Business owners went away with a greater understanding of how to future proof their business and make them more resilient to the impacts of Brexit.
