Fewer than one in five businesses in Northern Ireland across a range of sectors including retail, food & drink, and manufacturing feel prepared for new Brexit arrangements to take effect on January 1, according to the findings of a mass survey by the Northern Ireland Business Brexit Working Group , published on Saturday.
The figures are the latest to paint an alarming picture of business readiness ahead of the January 1 cliff edge. In less than four weeks the Brexit transition period will end and the protocol for Northern Ireland will come into effect. However, with just weeks to go until the New Year's Eve cliff edge, businesses in Northern Ireland are still waiting for key details on how these major changes will work in practice. Industry leaders in the provinceurged the EU and UK to postpone the implementation of the protocol, warning that businesses won't be ready on time.
