The Contact Company, Kingsgate, Tower Wharf, Birkenhead, CH41 1LH
On June 23rd, 2016, the UK votes on whether to leave the EU. It’s the most important vote for generations but what would a vote to leave Europe mean for UK businesses?
BusinessCloud will bring together two panels of leading business people to discuss the implications of staying in the EU or taking the plunge to exit.
The Brexit Breakfast will take place as part of the official opening of The Contact Company’s new £11m offices and will be a month before the opening of the International Festival for Business.
It will be chaired by BusinessCloud editor and award-winning journalist Chris Maguire.
