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:

 

  1. How have businesses found the past few months since the end of Transition?
  2. 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
