The Czech British Chamber of Commerce and the British Czech and Slovak Association had the privilege to host this insightful webinar with Nick Archer on 29 July 2020 at 4 PM - 5 PM BST.
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.
