You seem to be obsessed with my business. You seem to think everything is huge scale. We brought from aboard and imported ourselves. The manufacturer then saw there was a huge demand for their product in the UK, and is supplying it from the UK directly now. The last import we had that we controlled was in December. We used the UK branch since September, with full use from this month without any importing directly ourselves. Why try and find a hole in it. Yes, I imported a lot. I buy from a manufactor who produces in China and sells from their own distribution centres in the UK now.
You see, a business such as this that moves from offshore to the UK whilst the whole Brexit thing is up in the air, with no-one knowing what is going to happen (your words, not mine!) is exactly the sort of thing pro-Brexiteers should be shouting about. This is the type of good news story that some of the remoaners have been asking about for months. I'm surprised you haven't mentioned it before. Still, here's your chance.
Nope. We no longer import that much now as from 1st January, as we have a UK based supplier for most stock, and whilst I know they will have to pay the import duties, I am not in the slightest bit worried,
And taking the hit on import duties and any increase in duties, which even if they aren't huge would still be a good few quid on the $1M pa you pay, let alone their other customers. They are certainly better than any suppliers I have ever used over the years. If I found someone like this I would think it was almost too good to be true.
I'll let this thread get back to protection for MPs
