Brexit Developments
Freeports consultation deadline extended until 13th July: The government wants to establish 10 freeports, which have different customs rules than the rest of the country, that are innovative hubs, boost global trade, attract inward investment and increase productivity.

- promote regeneration and job creation
- create hotbeds for innovation. View >
