I didn’t think we’d be here, but here we are. In my capacity as a Policy Fellow at COADEC, the tech policy body for the UK’s tech startups, I have written a plain-English guide for tech and digital businesses to use to prepare for a No Deal Brexit. While the guidance is aimed at startups and scaleups, the advice is applicable to all tech businesses regardless of where they are on their journey.

RSVP to our roadshows

I wrote this. Yay?

The guide is accompanied by a series of roadshows across the UK, run by COADEC in partnership with Tech Nation and the UK Tech Cluster Group, where we’re explaining the issues at hand and advising you what you need to do to get your tech business ready. The tour will visit Liverpool (30th Sep), Manchester (2nd Oct), Ipswich (3rd Oct), Middlesbrough (4th Oct), Edinburgh (8th Oct), Sheffield (9th Oct), Bristol (10th Oct), Cardiff (10th Oct), Reading (11th Oct), and Belfast (18th Oct).

All roadshows are free, but please RSVP your spot.

The guide got some good coverage in TechCrunch, although that link carries the warning that the article is behind the horrible Oath privacy wall.

Let me know what you think of the guide and whether or not it’s been helpful to you. And as always, if you’d like a deeper dive into the issues we raised in the guidance, you can visit my side blog at https://afterbrexit.tech

Hats off to @Coadec for taking the time to discuss the potential impact of a No Deal Brexit on tech / digital startups & scaleups in Newcastle this morning.

Authentic, practical & genuinely useful presentation, Q&A & guide from @Dom_Hallas & his team 👍 pic.twitter.com/8VciYwK9QH
