Part of 2. Questions to the Counsel General and Brexit Minister – in the Senedd at 3:05 pm on 16 January 2019.
Absolutely. One of the strands for the preparedness work has been to identify areas where the characteristics of Wales—in this context, the economic characteristics—might be slightly different from other parts of the UK, and therefore need a particular approach, and, obviously, having a business sector that is so well represented by the SME sector is one of those aspects.
In addition to working with other partners, there is a Brexit-focused Business Wales marketing campaign, which has been launched to raise awareness of exactly the sorts of things that he identifies, and asking businesses to plan, adjust and innovate in their response to Brexit. And that includes a direct call to action to ask companies and businesses to complete the Brexit self-assessment through the diagnostic tool on the portal.
