Australian chief executive backs Brexit by moving part of his manufacturing to Britain
AN AUSTRALIAN is backing Brexit by moving a big part of his manufacturing to Britain.
InnovaDerma chief executive Haris Chaudhry's Skinny Tan product started a bidding war on BBC TV's Dragon's Den.
InnovaDerma subsequently bought the personal care product and from December it will be made in Norfolk.
Mr Chaudhry said: "This was a great opportunity to make a move to Britain."
He continued: "This is a vote of confidence in Britain post-Brexit.
This was a great opportunity to make a move to Britain
"We feel that it is a very dynamic market and will continue to provide opportunities for us to access Europe after the political decisions have been made.
"We have no concerns about Brexit at all."
He also said that one of the advantages of moving to the UK means he can get his product to warehouses in less than four hours while moving it from Australia took more than eight days.
Mr Chaudhry's comments follow positive moves by Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull in calling for a quick free trade agreement to be prepared for when Brexit takes place to take advantage of the UK's new freedom from Brussels control.
