Breakthrough On Customs Urgently Needed To Avoid Decimation Of Economy - Chamber President

The North West economy will be decimated if there is no breakthrough on customs arrangements post-Brexit, the president of Derry's Chamber of Commerce has said.

Brian McGrath was speaking to the North West’s largest gathering of business leaders at the Chamber’s annual president’s dinner in the Everglades Hotel on Friday evening.

The event was attended by over 350 people from more than 100 companies across Northern Ireland, including sponsors, Frylite, O’Neill ’s International Sportswear, FinTrU and packaging company, Diamond.

Mr. McGrath said the worst fears of the business community were about to be realized unless political leaders got together to hammer out a deal that solved the customs issue.
