WHAT DOES BREXIT MEAN FOR BRITISH BUSINESS?
In Episode 7 of Do Not Adjust Your Focus , the podcast from strategic and creative advisory firm Blurred, Stuart talks to Nick Baird, currently Group Corporate Affairs Director at Centrica and previously CEO of UK Trade & Investment.
Nick's career began, however, in politics. He joined the Foreign and Commonwealth Office in 1983, and became UK Representation to the EU in Brussels in 1989. In 2002 he was appointed Head of the European Union Department, before being seconded the following year to direct immigration policy within the Home Office. Subsequently, he was Ambassador to Turkey.
He and Stuart discuss what Brexit means for UK business: what challenges lie ahead, where may firms find opportunities, and how should a small exporter seek competitive advantage, compared to a UK multinational?
They talk about Nick's time working with the EU and whether the seeds for the Leave vote were in fact sowed years earlier than many think.
They discuss Turkey as a potential economic powerhouse and Istanbul as a uniquely-positioned tech hub.
