LIVE WEBINAR | Access UK: Doing Business in the New British Market
Tuesday 30th March 2021
8:00AM – 9:00AM BST
The UK’s marketplace is changing rapidly with the two shocks of COVID and Brexit accelerating reassessment of how and where companies transact as well as operate their teams, workplaces and supply chains.
In the coming years, the COVID-recovery, transition to a more digital model and diversification beyond the EU will see the UK market undergo a major step change. With these changes come new market opportunities and efficiencies for companies that can be quick sighted and nimble in capturing emerging market trends.
