Скачать или смотреть Brexit three years on: 'Traumatic and damaging' to small businesses

While Brexit came as a huge change to all companies up to and including the giant multinationals, it had an even larger effect on the thousands of small businesses who had to rearrange for the new reality.
In 2021, CGTN Europe interviewed the bosses of several small UK businesses to ask them how they had adapted – or otherwise – to a post-EU paradigm shift. Exporters had to deal with a raft of new administration, to such an extent that some considered moving parts of their operations back into the bloc.

One such mover was Hampstead Tea. In that 2021 interview, director Kiran Tawadey explained that "From this year onwards we've not been able to ship a single order to the EU because of the tariffs and because of the problems on shipment, even with small parcels."

At the time, Tawadey was regarding her glass – or perhaps teacup – as half-full rather than half-empty: "Moving to the EU now gives us that great opportunity to build that direct-to-consumer business and mirror that success we've had in the UK, which is really exciting. With every dark cloud, I guess there's a silver lining somewhere."

Two years on, did the move work out – and does she still see Brexit as more of an opportunity than a threat?
