BREXIT is 10
To mark the 10th anniversary of the Brexit Referendum, I reached out to colleagues across the customs and international trade industry in the UK, the EU and Geneva to ask them a couple of questions about key lessons, favourite memories and how the industry changed over time.
Big thank you to all the speakers.
