New investments are being made in the UK because of Brexit - Oh how I love to say those words “because of Brexit”, as it’s about time the phrase ‘despite Brexit’ was dropped from the lexicon.

I want to highlight two companies that have decided that the UK is the place to do business.

The German dairy giant Muller, has announced an investment of “£100m over the next three years to develop, manufacture and market a new generation of branded and private label yogurt and desserts products, made from milk produced by British farmers”. This will be centred in Shropshire and double its Telford base.

Muller says it has also extended its successful partnership with British Athletics so that it has branding and activation rights for six major athletics events in 2018 and 2019.

The managing director of Muller said:

“This unprecedented level of investment will ensure that we can offer an increasing portfolio of great yogurt and desserts products made in Britain with milk from British farmers, which meet the needs of our customers.”

The other investor is the US maker of Peperami, Jack Links, who has announced an interest in opening a £200 million manufacturing plant in the midlands, which would also give the region 200 new jobs.

And all this the day after the Prime Minister of Canada, Justin Trudeau offers the UK a seamless transition to a new UK/Canada trading relationship.

The former Conservative Chancellor of the Exchequer, Lord Lawson, has also entered the fray, saying that a no deal Brexit is nothing to fear and it won’t hurt trade.

He also said that too much time and energy was being wasted on a trade deal with the  EU. The clear benefits of leaving, he said, did not depend on a trade deal with the bloc.

Writing in the Times, the former chancellor said that the EU would never actually give the UK a good deal as it would just encourage other member states to leave.

“Those who say that a good trade deal is in the best interests of the EU and the UK alike wholly fail to understand what the EU is about.

He wrote

“It is not about economics at all. It is a political enterprise, dedicated to the achievement of full political union.”

He also said that the latest state of the union address from Jean-Claude Juncker outlined that move towards a federalist state, a political project said Lord Lawson, that would not be put at risk for purely business reasons.

Basically he said that we are headed for a no deal scenario, unless we decide that a bad deal is better than no deal, something no Leaver would ever agree with.

For me he’s absolutely right about the political angle.

Staying in is worse than leaving without a deal, so any deal they offer based on the politics of the EU will be even worse than either staying in or leaving, so just walking away is a no-brainer.

So - good Brexit news all round really, oh and the pound is slightly up this week too.

What do you think about this good news?

Thank you.
