EDITOR’S WELCOME BREXIT MEANS BREXIT
From a vantage point of hearing views from all over Europe I thought it was worth spinning a few positive comments OUR EXPERIENCE
We have now been dealing in mostly Northern Europe over the course of the last 7 years as we feature the hot spots in the industry we represent. We can therefore comment on the general consensus from an informed standpoint.
THE BEGINNING – THE DECISION ON A UK REFERENDUM
There was very much a feeling of extreme apprehension when a decision was made to hold a referendum. Once the dust settled however there was a consensus of opinion which suggested that sense would prevail and there would be a resounding success for the ‘Remain in Europe’ lobby – everybody knows what happened next!
SHOCK AND HORROR
My son, who holds a lofty position in the City of London was attending a wedding in Italy when the result became known – he received more than a hundred emails/texts through that ‘never to be forgotten’ night from his many colleagues back in the City… in short the language used cannot be relayed here!
KEEPING CALM AND CARRYING ON!
What has happened since is somewhat of a revelation, at least in our experience, but also from that of many business professionals we deal with. We believe that companies and organisations are just too ambitious and passionate to allow governments to influence the decisions on major renewable projects, so we just carry on regardless.
POSITIVE FUTURE
Personally we have seen our business grow more than anticipated and continually receive positive feedback on the future of the industries in which we operate – we look forward to working with all of Europe and beyond… regardless of referenda results or government decisions.
