Help for Brexit is a service run by the North and Western Lancashire Chamber of Commerce aimed at helping businesses prepare for the UK’s departure from the EU on 31 October.

The service provides free-to-attend seminars, workshops and webinars, as well as expert information and access to specialist advisers.

North & Western Lancashire enjoys a high proportion of immigrant workers across all major sectors focusing on: Tourism, Agriculture, Manufacturing, Warehousing, Distribution, Retail, Leisure & Hospitality and the Service Sector with many of employing immigrant workers who are yet to register for EU settlement status. 

Businesses also tell us of their concerns about business continuity, a future skilled workforce, cross-border issues, qualification recognition, travel implications (temporary travel for the servicing of contracts and other business related purposes) and the retention of a skilled workforce.

3)   Business are able to plan for their future skills requirements.
