Blackman & White managing director Alex White appeared on Channel 5 News last week to insist there should be more positivity around Brexit and the appointment of Boris Johnson.
‘For the long term, I can see some significant advantages in being separated from the EU, making partnerships with other countries and looking towards a future with some of the emerging economies in the commonwealth,’ Mr White opined.
‘Brexit is an emotive subject at the moment but pragmatically a line in the sand needs to be drawn on 31 October. A definite decision and a date are needed to give everybody the opportunity to get on and make plans to achieve the best possible outcome for the economy.
‘The chances for a second referendum are slight and would only cause uncertainty for at least another three years so embracing the process to get the best possible outcome is only logical.’
Channel 5 wanted Mr White’s opinion because of his company’s experience and knowledge of the import and export process. Blackman & White ships its specialised cutting machines all over the globe and imports components for its machines from various overseas markets.
