LONDON: Since the UK voted to leave the EU, there have been plenty of warnings that the economy will suffer as a result. It is too early to see how challenging Brexit will be in the long run but so far the small and medium-sized businesses that drive much of our economy have shown resilience and, as we demonstrate today, the UK has a real opportunity to build a new, sustainable, productive and job-creating post-Brexit economic model if it backs these dynamic entrepreneurs and businesses.
