The UK is scheduled to leave the European Union at the end of this month.

Conservative MP Michael Fabricant says it is important that companies have preparations in place.

“As Brexit approaches, it is important that local companies which trade with the European Union – either as importers or exporters – are ready for it,” Mr Fabricant said.

“Most companies will not be affected directly, but those that do should visit the [Government Brexit website](https://www.gov.uk/brexit?ref=lichfieldlive.co.uk).

“This contains a huge amount of valuable information which local firms can use. 

“Whether or not you think your firm might be affected, the website is well worth a visit.

“Brexit will create opportunities for firms which are not currently available as members of the EU and it is worth every firm exploring these.”
