North East Chamber of Commerce Leader cautions against hasty EU exit

James Ramsbotham, the chief executive of the North East Chambers of Commerce, said (HERE) on Friday 24th June,“One [company] has already seen a quite sizeable contract pulled. One is running a subsidiary of a major corporation and is fairly certain that within two years the whole thing will be moved to the continent. But there are one or two who say this is what they wanted and this is what they voted for and are just looking for help to get through it.”

Apparently what Mr Ramsbotham seems to be saying is that some company bosses actually voted for this.  Either they wanted to move to continental Europe themselves or they wanted to get rid of a competitor or simply pleased to see orders and jobs lost.  Amazing, but well done to Boris for showing us how we will “prosper like never before”.
