Brexit Forcing Your Business Up North?

As more and more businesses prepare for the reality of Brexit, you could soon be making more of your business trips 'up north'. According to research published in the Financial Times recently “the north of England has seen a sharp rise in business travel”. It seems Brexit is causing businesses to focus on markets closer to home in the north, rather than overseas in the EU. Perhaps it's the case with your business too? If so, we'd love to hear about how your needs are changing. As reported: “Corporate hotel bookings in 2017 rose 55 per cent in Blackpool, 35 per cent in Preston, 33 per cent in Bradford, 24 per cent in Sheffield and 21 per cent in Doncaster, against a national average of 9.5 per cent.
