CONFECTIONERYNEWS BREXIT SURVEY 2016

Dear reader,

Uncertainty is the watchword now the UK has voted to leave the EU.

While a raft of studies were published in the lead up about what was likely to happen in a Brexit, little is really known about the consequences of this unprecedented event.

So we want to gauge your views on what you think are the positives and negatives from Brexit for your business.

Thank you in advance for your time and feedback,
The ConfectioneryNews team.
