Responding to the statment by the Prime Minister about EU exit negotiations, Richard Burge, Chief Executive of London Chamber of Commerce and Industry, said:

“Despite the language heard today, both parties are still at the table. Businesses remain hopeful that eventually results in a deal.

"But the warnings are clear and as the Prime Minister said today, change is inevitable on 1 January and businesses need to be ready, whether or not we agree a deal with the EU.

"With 75 days to go, businesses must prepare for our EU exit, despite the ongoing challenges from Covid-19.”
