To ask the Minister for the Economy what plans Invest NI has to extend their Brexit preparation work to (i) the retail sector; and (ii) the haulage sector.

Invest NI will continue to advise and support businesses in all sectors to address the challenges and optimise opportunities arising from EU Exit.

A wide range of Brexit related information, advice and guidance has been made available to all businesses, including those in the retail and haulage sector, via www.investni.com/brexit and www.nibusinessinfo.co.uk.

Invest NI’s Brexit information events are delivered in partnership with business bodies (including the Freight & Transport Association and Retail NI) to attract the widest range of businesses.

Once the out-workings of the NI Protocol become clear, Invest NI will provide further advice and guidance to all NI businesses.
