Workforce and Brexit

Season 3, Ep. 2

The UK has left the EU and the transition period has ended, meaning new rules are in place for all businesses based in the UK. With COVID still the most pressing issue for many businesses, devoting time and resource to fully understand the changes across all areas can be challenging.

 

This third series for the London Business Hub is about helping businesses get to grip with the practicalities of Britain’s new trading environment.  

 

In each of the episodes we will feature a SME business owner with an expert or two, who hopefully, will be able to answer their questions.

 

And today, we’re talking about Workforce, with:

  • Mike Russell – a business consultant who runs MKR Solutions Ltd
  • Kate Goodman - HR specialist at her company Kalida People and also HR lead at Brexit for Business
  • Duncan Sambrook – Founder of SEB Brewing and Packaging


Further support is available via your local Growth Hub. You can book an appointment with one of their EU specialist advisers who can help you work through the issues that might affect your business. They can also provide free specialist support from employment lawyers and accountants specialising is the new VAT regime and experts on IP. Go to www.businesshub.london
