There are NO dates which are between late February and early Mach.

1/3 of UK companies have enquired about or have actioned setting up a base in the EU albeit some will only have nominal staff there to abide by EU rules

Really ? A 1/3 of Uk Businesses, looking to have EU HQ'S ?

Around 2 million businesses are looking at moving their British base to the EU ?

I'm calling bullshit on that one.

LONDON (AP) - Nearly a third of U.K. firms may shift their operations abroad because of Britain's looming departure from the European Union, a survey of 1,200 company directors suggested Friday, as the political stalemate over a Brexit deal heightened jitters among businesses.

The survey by the Institute of Directors, an employers' group, found that 16 percent of businesses already had relocation plans while a further 13 percent were "actively considering" a move.

The group said while headlines have focused on big companies, less notice has been given to smaller U.K. businesses and their plans to relocate.

Institute interim director Edwin Morgan said smaller firms typically have tighter resources and for them "to be thinking about such a costly course of action makes clear the precarious position they are in."

Some of these polls are comedy gold. 1200 directors polled from how many millions?

16% of 1200 replied to have definate plans. 13% of 1200 considering a move. Its obvious then that 2 million will do so.

Nothing to do with the IOD being an organisation where a large proportion of their members actively export to Europe (~67% as opposed to ~5-10% nationally).

The only surprising thing really is that their survey numbers came in so low, considering the companies they represent.

I was in a previous life involved in corporate banking and a number of my mates still are. To put this poll result into some context for myself  I asked two of them tonight over a pint how many of their corporate clients (businesses turning over  more than £25m each and biggest upto £500m ) were planning to move their bases overseas 

 

their answer out of 80 clients and in total representing some 400 ltd companies ? 2. That was it. 

 

I then asked was this representative in their opinion across the rest And they said yes pretty much negligible. Thus these polls are really not what they are made out to be and I’m not sure who they are asking.
