“Brexit has resulted in sustained uncertainty for businesses on these islands over the last three years. During this time the British Irish Chamber of Commerce has striven to be a constructive voice in the debate putting forward solutions to the challenges that we collectively face. As we look to enter the next stage of the Brexit process, the Chamber will continue to offer business led solutions to help protect the jobs, commerce and prosperity that comes from our close trading ties.”
