Nick Archer shared his perspective on living and coping with as well as getting through the COVID-19 phenomena.

In addition, he touched on the following topics:

  • His views on how the trade relations between the UK and CZ post Brexit (and potentially post COVID-19) will develop
  • How COVID-19 changed the bilateral UK / CZ business and international trade
  • The restart - which industries are impacted most, which industries have the potential for rapid growth after the restart
  • Readiness and preparedness of the UK for Brexit and the impact of COVID-19 on Brexit

The webinar also offered the opportunity to ask Nick questions.
