The last few years have been monumental. From Trump to the paradise papers, the world can seem an unfamiliar and unpredictable place.
This uncertainty can be especially difficult for small business owners. As the UK prepares to leave the European Union – a task of unprecedented scale – how can a small business best protect itself? And what steps can be taken to ensure your company is at its most resilient?
In this Brexit-themed event, we’ll explore the most pressing issues for small business – from staffing to tariffs – and hear from entrepreneurs and academics on their view. There will also be an opportunity for guests to speak directly to the speakers as they join guest tables for the breakout session.
We’re pleased to announce our keynote speaker will be Dan Roberts.
Dan Roberts is the Guardian’s Brexit policy editor, covering Britain’s departure from the European Union. Previously he was Washington bureau chief, head of UK national news and business editor. Before that, he worked at the Financial Times and Daily Telegraph.
This half-day, morning event is designed for the owners of small businesses (companies that have an annual turnover of less than £10m) and their employees.
While this is a free event, please be aware that space is limited. Those who have been successful will receive an email to confirm their place.
