    To our "non EU" British colleagues – Tschüss, adios, goodbye and good luck in pastures new outside the EU!

    “Only in the agony of parting do we look into the depths of love.”

    Wish all folks here on the forum a strong economy and good business in the new era.

    Do you think this change will affect you at all Pane?

    I have really not seen anything directly affecting our business…

    When it all started way back, Avery "appeared" to jump on the "use it as an excuse to hike prices". I say appeared to as the timing was all a bit coincidental. Avery’s prices, at least on their wraps continued to rise to something like 25%, over an 18 month period. Making them more expensive than 3M on certain vinyls. That appeared to stop some time ago, but now Brexit is done, will the other Euro vinyl manufacturers follow? keeping in mind distribution costs etc will most likely be affected along the process.
    Maybe Avery have been clever to do it back then, so when all others start to shift now, (if they shift) then Avery are the only ones not budging. if you see my line of thought…

    Personally I don’t think will effect me.
    I’m small business and quite optimised the way I work. Things like couriers will go up in price and they will get slower because of borders.
    I hear scenarios that pound will be kept with the euro so UK trades better with Europe, but on the other hand if I know this for sure, I will be typing this from my yacht in Barbados.
    I hope things stay the same and not much changes, but politicians are liars so only time will tell.
