Brexit And Financial Services - Beyond The M25

There is much debate around what impact Brexit will have on London as the leading international financial centre, but about half of the industry's gross value is actually generated outside the M25. As Deloitte's managing partner for regional markets and the newly appointed TheCityUK Chair for Greater Manchester, I am delighted to have a role in championing the in the North West and contributing to its long-term success.

Whilst Brexit is one of the most pressing issues for the industry as a whole, there are a number of other important issues to consider at a regional level, such as continuing to attract and retain both high and lower skilled workers, UK economic growth and devolution. I recently spoke to TheCityUK Chief Executive Officer, Miles Celic, to get his views on the industry outside of London and the impact of Brexit.
