A "black hole" in technical skills is threatening the economy as the UK heads for Brexit, the chairman of the Federation of Small Businesses (FSB) has warned. Mike Cherry, FSB national chairman, was commenting on FSB research which claims more than one in four business owners in England are not confident in basic digital skills. The survey found that just over half (53 per cent) of small businesses have no confidence at all or only a little bit (1 per cent to 3 per cent).
