Brexit is the answer on Any Questions
OUR Managing Director Simon Boyd urged politicians to present a united front for Brexit negotiations when he appeared on the BBC’s flagship Any Questions programme.
He warned that some politicians were damaging the position of the UK’s negotiators by playing party politics and that some (past and present) were deliberately trying to undermine the process with the aim of keeping us in the EU.
Mr Boyd, who is managing director of Christchurch-based REIDsteel, appeared on the Radio 4 programme in […]

Brexit to the letter
Our managing director Simon Boyd has personally written to every single MP in the UK to urge a clean break from the European Union.
As debate continues at the start of formal Brexit negotiations today, Simon has sent letters to all 650 MPs at Westminster – including the Prime Minister – urging them not to ‘snatch defeat from the jaws of victory’.
He warned that watered down Brexit plans would hit thousands of businesses – especially SMEs – and be a betrayal of the will of the people.
Mr Boyd writes in his letter: “We voted Out and that means Out please.
Out of the EU but not Out of Europe. Out of the damaging jurisdiction of the European Court of Justice. Out of the single market […]
Now is the time to invest in export
Press Release:
Simon Boyd, Managing Director of REIDsteel and Chairman of pro-Brexit Business for Britain South West, urged firms to prioritise investment following new growth figures and reports in the wake of the Bank of England’s interest rate decision.
He said: “With interest rates kept on hold and the continued weaker pound, now is the vital time for exporters to invest.
“The Bank of England has taken a more upbeat global outlook, based on better investment incentives and more competitive export opportunities.
“With growth in 2018 and 2019 forecast to be stronger than expected, businesses and especially exporters can use the time during Brexit negotiations by investing wisely and making sure they are ready to hit the ground running when we eventually leave the EU.”
Mr Boyd’s comments come before Labour […]
