More than half -- 58 percent -- of the top executives at Britain’s biggest firms that responded to the Ipsos MORI “Captains of Industry” poll said the vote to quit the bloc has had a negative impact on their businesses. Two-thirds of the chief executives, chairmen and directors interviewed for the survey said they believed the business situation would worsen in the next 12 months.
“Business in this country is already feeling the pain of the economic upheaval of leaving the EU,” said Ben Page, CEO of Ipsos MORI. “According to respondents there is no sign that this is likely to ease this year.”
