In July 2021, S&H were asked to represent BExA (British Exporters Association) assisting the National Audit Office in the collation of data to support the publication of a NAO report on the Government’s handling of the EU Exit Post Transition Period.
There were two questions for which S&H submitted data:
- How have businesses found the past few months since the end of Transition?
- What is business preparation looking like for the end of the year?
The resulting report has been released from the NAO this month and is available to read here: https://www.nao.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/The-UK-border-Post-UK-EU-transition-period.pdf
