A united front and a positive attitude will help UK businesses tackle Brexit challenges, according to KPMG Brexit head James Stewart. A financial services firm won’t be worried about trade tariffs, but acutely alert to the question of equivalence or the possible need to set up an EU subsidiary. The accountancy firm said the government should be “more proactive” in its approach towards Brexit. Businesses need a clear indication of what kind of trading links the UK will have with the EU, he said, and suggested the private and public sectors investigate what may be possible after Brexit, look at new solutions to boost growth, and at the contribution of technology.
