Liverpool Global City – in partnership with Liverpool City Council
Liverpool is home to outstanding businesses from a diverse mix of sectors. Post-Brexit, our local businesses have been working tirelessly to meet new requirements and adapt their businesses to achieve national and global success.
After redefining our relationship with Europe, we’ve collected a number of local case studies from businesses who have faced challenges and found innovative solutions, that have enabled them to continue to grow their business. You can filter between hospitality and manufacturing case studies, and expert advice to find resources available to help you overcome common challenges.

The UK left the EU on 31 January 2020 and a new trade and cooperation agreement now governs our relations. Its implications affect the way we import and export goods and services to the EU and the way we hire staff from the EU.
