‘Wave of issues’ for region’s firms

BUSINESSES IN Yorkshire reported being hit with a “wave of issues”, including price rises, border delays and more paperwork in the first month since the UK formally separated from the European Union.

James Muir, who chairs the Sheffield City Region Local Enterprise Partnership, told The Yorkshire Post in February that Brexit was having an “undeniable impact” on businesses in South Yorkshire, with companies across the county “reporting confusion, frustration and a costly transition”.

He was among business leaders in the region who warned about the impact which the new trading arrangements with Europe are having on enterprise.
