Almost two thirds of business leaders in the South West believe Brexit has strengthened the appeal of British products and services, a study has found.
Around 55 senior decision makers at firms in the region with an annual turnover of between £50m and £500m took part in the survey. Of those who took part 63% said they thought the impact of the UK’s exit from the EU had boosted “brand Britain” in international markets, while only 7% said they thought it had not, according to audit, tax and advisory firm Grant Thornton.
A spokesperson for Grant Thornton told BusinessLive its survey did not ask any other Brexit-related questions, meaning the firm was unable to provide specific reasons explaining respondents’ answers.
