keywords

Smaller companies have been the stars of the pandemic, but how will they fare outside the European Union?

They are known to be able to innovate more quickly, and adapt to changing circumstances.

Certainly UK Smaller Companies started to outperform the UK All companies sector from  August last year, and as the Covid restrictions start to lift, so perhaps we will see even stronger performance.

This report is worth an indicative 30 minutes' CPD.
