According to a survey conducted by the FIA, less than 12% of businesses within the fire industry say that Britain’s exit from the EU will positively affect business in the coming months and years.
The survey, which polled members on their views of the result of the referendum, had 179 responses from businesses across the UK and indicates there is a strong feeling of uncertainty regarding the future of the UK as a whole, and what might happen next for businesses.
“The immediate uncertainty appears to have already had the effect of delaying investment decisions. This will, of course, impact on construction and other projects. The long-term future is less clear and would depend upon the exit ‘deal’ reached with the EU,” said one responder.
