    • The Brexit Briefings on 13 April discussed both the politics & economics of Brexit. Senior speakers from Brussels and London gave a sober picture of developments and several company speakers confirmed that plans were already underway to relocate parts of their business in EU countries. The conclusions of the conference can be seen in Brexit Briefing 18/2 which is available to participants at the meeting and EuroComment subscribers.
      The next Brexit Briefing at the Athenaeum Club will be in July. Contact us if you would like to attend this fee paying event. More »
