Summary

Over the past few months, many businesses have devoted significantly more time to responding to COVID-19 than to preparing for Brexit. But, as the end of the transition period approaches it is vital that businesses refocus their attention onto the changes that will come from January 2021. And, for some organisations the steps they've taken to navigate COVID-19 - such as strengthening their supply chains - will stand them in good stead when it comes to preparing for the future trading relationship between the UK and the EU. In this episode, we have joined forces with our COVID-19: Business in Focus team for a spotlight on how businesses should be preparing for Brexit amid COVID-19 disruption. Host Rowena Morris is joined by Panny Loucas, the Brexit lead within PwC's tax business, and Cara Haffey, our Head of Manufacturing and Automotive sectors.
