There's some fella just starting a thread on building a garden wall. Should we advise him to build it as high as possible. Or better still build a moat instead
may well be sensible precaution tbh

Not just Whitehall.Nice to see Whitehall

Interestingly enough, many of our suppliers are already duel sourcing and its been a kick up the backside for many companies to look elsewhere. At the moment, we're not seeing a cost increase coming.So essentially what you're saying is...
That you don't care about your present suppliers/competition and your customers can just take the hit, but as long as you're busy all is OK?
But what if your new suppliers import their components/supplies from the EU/abroad? That's a double price increase whammy!
And if too many of these 'competitors' (in all types of employment) have problems and start laying people off, then you will eventually have to find new customers as well!
That will be because EU businesses, with sufficient foresight and as a precaution against a hard Brexit, have partly replicated their manufacturing in the UK.We're also finding that there is an increase in UK manufactured product that we can buy.
When the competition has been restricted due to Brexit, when forces beyond the control of UK increase costs, when regulation in EU forces changes to UK production (and UK had no input to those changes), when costs of raw materials increase, when taxes and tariffs are increased, when supply of raw materials is delayed, costs, therefore prices will increase and are out of UK's control.At the moment, we're not seeing a cost increase coming.
That's a blatant generalisation and based on what?That will be because EU businesses, with sufficient foresight and as a precaution against a hard Brexit, have partly replicated their manufacturing in the UK.
The manufacturing might be in the UK, but the profits will be going elsewhere.
Some of the better jobs, the IP, the design, testing, governance, management, etc, will still be EU based.
Along similar lines as the Dyson model, but in reverse.
UK will be reduced to a simple sweat shop type existence.
People want to buy British if they can.
Worldwide, mainly the USA and Arab states.Which "People?"
Where do you export to?

People refers to UK customers who we find will chose our product over the Swedish or Italian offers largely because of UK manufacture.
Hardly a blatant generalization, but just as valid as your sole experience in one industry.That's a blatant generalisation and based on what?
