that businesses across the region are prepared for the implications and informed about Brexit. At the end of January, the Sheffield City Region Growth Hub published its Brexit tool, that will enable businesses across the region to carry out a self-assessment which will advise them about their strengths and weaknesses in six areas, including innovation and skills. The tool will also direct then to resources and expert help so they can prepare. “Whatever happens over the coming weeks, months
