BREXIT: New UK Immigration System -  is your business prepared for the end of free movement of EU workers?

Fintech UK, Fintech Ireland and Fintech Northern Ireland are very happy to row behind this excellent event by Kerman & Co, foundation supporter of Fintech UK.  Brexit is an important topic for fintech not only in the UK and Ireland, but across Europe.  International fintech and financial services looking for a European fintech presence also need to stay on top of all things Brexit, including impact on employees. 

As the FT reported on 16 November 2020 - "A good rule with Brexit is never to talk about “crunch weeks” or hard deadlines, which tend to prove a whole lot squishier than expected. But this time, we really are approaching a critical moment."
