At the time of writing, we are still waiting on news from the Brexit negotiators and by January 2021 we will be clear about whether or not we have a Free Trade Agreement with Europe or not.

Our expert panellists, Deirdre Maguire of InterTrade Ireland and Seamus Leheny of Logistics UK, both of whom have taken part in all four of our Countdown to Brexit webinars of 2020, will discuss the learnings and action points necessary for business to progress , with our Chamber CEO, Paul Clancy.

We will finally have the “knowns” and now business can start to move forward with certainty.
