This week’s Brexit withdrawal agreement has if anything created even more uncertainty and appeared to increase the likelihood of a no-deal scenario.
With this in mind The Grocer has added another leading expert to its panel for our special Brexit webinar being held later this month.
Robert Hardy, commercial director with Oakland Invicta, will bring with him over 35 years’ experience in customs, borders and European logistics.
Until 2017 Hardy ran the customs terminal at the Port of Dover and is now a full-time Brexit advisor. He is working with many large brands to prepare them for Brexit and is also an advisor to the Institute for Government and InterTrade Ireland. He is also a registered international trade expert with the EU Commission.
Opinion: Buying time for Brexit is an eminently sensible move
Our webinar, in conjunction with headline sponsor PwC, entitled Brexit - A Moveable Feast is aimed at helping food and drink companies prepare, whatever the outcome.
Hosted by the editor of The Grocer Adam Leyland, the panel also includes Lord Mark Price, the former trade minister and of course ex-Waitrose MD, PwC UK leader of industry for consumer markets Lisa Hooker, Food & Drink Federation COO Tim Rycroft and Steve Francis, former CEO of Tulip Foods.
You will have a chance to quiz the experts on a range of key issues arising from the UK’s departure from the EU, including imports and exports, supermarket negotiations, pricing and inflation, stockpiling, contingency planning, alternative supply, standards and much more.
