“There continues to be a lot of uncertainty around Brexit and the implications it will have on UK businesses,” says Wilding. “We are hearing that many are suspending plans to grow their workforce, cutting back on investment and feel unprepared for the challenges which lie ahead. However, with the right expertise and knowledge there are many things companies can be doing to put themselves ahead of the game. During recent months we’ve been working with industry to provide advice on how to plan for Brexit, as well as complete the complex administration tasks that lie ahead.”
