Sorry to clarify the Dyson/Mogg… it’s to do with being prepared. Even ardent Brexiteer folk are doing planning as they see fit.Dyson has nothing to do with Brexit. Dyson’s largest market by a big amount is Asia so it makes sense to manufacture where your largest market is. If it was to do with Brexit he’d have moved to the EU, not to a nation that doesn’t have a trade agreement with the EU so he still has to pay import duty.

Some time ago I spoke with someone at another German truck manufacturer, who said they were looking at the origin of all their components, and were finding alternative sources for those of British origin. He said there was a ‘surprisingly high’ British content in their trucks, but that was obviously going to change if there was a no-deal Brexit.Could that be the reason for the ■■■/Schaeffler factory in Llanelli being closed?
No. It is because the majority of the customers of that factory were in the EU, not the UK. Their biggest factory in the UK though is going to remain in the UK.

So would you agree that any manufacturer seeking to build a factory somewhere near Western Europe would be best advised to build it inside the biggest potential market?
UK pop 66million? Or EU population 550million?
