The event focussed on manufacturing, higher education and life sciences and the effect that Brexit may have on them, with Robin Walker MP, Parliamentary Under Secretary of State for the Department for Exiting the European Union, in attendance.

Martyne Manning, senior policy officer at the Coventry and Warwickshire Chamber of Commerce, said: “Our Brexit Club has been gathering opinion and information from our members ahead of the EU exit.

“Many issues have been raised – some that will affect all businesses and some that are quite niche to individual companies – and we are working hard to ensure that we make those involved in the negotiations aware of those issues.

“This was a great opportunity to speak to Robin Walker and I managed to raise several key points specific to Coventry and Warwickshire, which he said he would look in to.”
