Events to help you get ready for Brexit

Departments across government are holding events to help your business get ready for Brexit.

After Brexit there will be changes that affect businesses and hauliers across the UK.

Make sure you are prepared for them, particularly if your business:

imports goods
exports goods
receives personal data
exports services

Local business readiness events
The Department for Business held a series of free face-to-face Business Readiness Events across the UK, to help businesses find out what actions they need to take to prepare for Brexit. The events included support and advice stands, with in-depth sessions led by subject matter experts from across government, including Defra, HMRC, Home Office and DCMS.

More information could be found about a range of issues, including:

the importing and exporting of goods and services
transferring data
employing EU citizens

The Brexit Business Readiness Events events have now ended but if you were unable to attend one, you can view the Government’s online event which features recordings of the sessions held at the events.

Helping hauliers prepare for Brexit
The Department for Transport is setting up information pop-up stands across the UK and Europe to help hauliers and businesses prepare for Brexit, so that goods can continue to flow smoothly through ports.

The pop-ups will be located at ports, service stations and on ferries to provide easily accessible advice, helping hauliers understand the documentation they need for themselves, their vehicles and their goods after Brexit. All stands will be staffed by multilingual advisors. Further advice for hauliers is available on GOV.UK.

Brexit preparedness workshops for businesses that export
Businesses will leave these workshops with a personalised action plan for Brexit preparedness. The workshops will provide advice on:

impact to supply chains
changes to regulations and contracts
where to find tariff information
what businesses might need to speak to customers and employees about
