The British manufacturing industry was/is meant to lead the post-Brexit trade charge, according to those who believe that Britain's place is outside the European Union. But those who are meant to be leading the charge for Britain plc in the new dawn of post-Brexit Britain are deeply concerned. Some of these worries were even expressed at the Palma Boat Show, which got under way yesterday. The concern is - what will happen? Will parts imported from elsewhere have a tariff and will the rest of the world return Britain's tariff favour? Many of the thousands of components that go into a yacht or even a car are not built in Britain. So what is going to happen? A sizeable part of Britain's manufacturing output goes abroad, but companies are in the dark. As I said, these companies are meant to be leading the post-Brexit campaign.
What next for British manufacturers?
