Post Referendum and Britain is still in the EU

the ce mark may be fine in Europe but in many other countrys they want made in England as they see it as quality
the Chinese will buy made in England
they are even looking at building a weatabix plant in china but will use wheat from England
land rover export the majority of their product with many cars going to china

in or out of the eu we will still trade with them as we always have
even during the napolionic wars England used to trade grain with france

You get to export your wheat to China! That's fantastic! Right!!
Somebody in Brussels must have sorted out those nasty tariffs for you[emoji57]
And all those Land Rovers. Isn't it comforting to know that Brussels takes care of the paperwork[emoji87]

Weetabix has Bright Foods as its majority shareholder, Bright Foods is a large Chinese company, hence a new factory in China. Also you mention Land Rover which is owned by Tata a large Indian company.

By staying in the EU we will still attract investment into our UK industry. If we leave the EU what we will find is that the investment will go to EU countries for factories making UK brands. An example of this has been Switzerland where numerous companies have actually got factories in the EU as it is the only way to produce products at competitive prices rather than producing them in Switzerland.
