Michiel Bakhuizen, a spokesman for the Netherlands Foreign Investment Agency (NFIA), said “every new arrival of a business, big or small, is a success”. Sony and Panasonic are just some of the household names that have been lured away to other places in Europe with the promise of access to EU markets. As the prospect of a no deal Brexit grows, Mr Bakhuizen said: “The number of businesses we are in contact with for a possible arrival is growing. At the start of 2017 it was 80, at the start of 2018 150, and now it’s more than 250. “This increase will continue and it’s not strange, because there is great uncertainty at the moment in Britain. And if there is one thing that’s bad for business, it’s uncertainty.” A NFIA spokesman said it was in contact “with more than 250 interested in an eventual move to the Netherlands because of Brexit”.

He said a no-deal Brexit could force Airbus, which employs more than 14,000 people in the UK with around 110,000 more jobs connected in supply chains, to make "potentially very harmful decisions" about its UK operations. Urging Britons not to listen to "Brexiteers' madness" that the company was too established in the UK to leave, the business leader warned there are "plenty of countries" that would love to build its plane parts. Speaking in a video message, he said: "In a global economy the UK no longer has the capability to go it alone. Major aerospace projects are multinational affairs. "It is a disgrace that, more than two years after the result of the 2016 referendum, businesses are still unable to plan properly for the future. "We, along with many of our peers, have repeatedly called for clarity, but we still have no idea what is really going on here."All rights reserved for this news site express.co.uk and under his responsibility
