Thyme-IT attend EI Brexit Conference
Thyme-IT attended Enterprise Ireland’s Brexit Advisory Clinic in the Aviva Stadium on Friday, 21st June. The message from many of the speakers was that companies should take action now to prepare for Brexit and also prepare for a no-deal Brexit. Over half of the attendees identified Customs & Logistics as the biggest challenge well ahead of Financial & Currency Management. The following is a summary of the recommendations:
Lean Business Principles
- Irrespective of Brexit, Lean Business Principles can help your organisation.
