The Institute of Directors Northern Ireland (IoD NI) has launched a new free Brexit advice service for businesses.
The Brexit Ready NI initiative, open to members and non-members, will run throughout October featuring webinars and workshops across Northern Ireland, while companies can also avail of bespoke guidance geared directly to their business.
Delivered in partnership with KPMG, IoD NI said that Brexit Ready NI will offer guidance on a range of matters from how to prepare for a ‘no deal’, employment and immigration issues, to getting ready for any changes in the tax and customs landscape.
KPMG Partner Frankie Devlin, who leads the firm’s Indirect Tax Services Group in Belfast is advising organisations to get ready for a ‘no deal’.
He added: “The negative consequences of being ill-prepared can be enormous while the work undertaken will also garner tremendous benefits regardless of the outcome of negotiations.
“Through this initiative with IoD NI, we aim to assist businesses across all sectors with this vital groundwork, whether it be helping firms to understand their supply chains and how they will be impacted, looking at customs duty procedures, or advice on how to communicate changes with staff.”
‘Brexit Ready NI’ will feature drop-in advice clinics in North West Regional College, Derry/Londonderry on 17th October, Mid-Ulster Council Offices, Cookstown on 22nd October, KPMG offices, Belfast on 18th and 23rd October, and Hilton Hotel, Belfast on 25th October.
A webinar series will be broadcast on 15th, 23rd and 29th October from 12.30pm-1.30pm.
