How do firms feel about Brexit, five years on?

Businesses exporting to the EU have faced some challenges with the changes

It has been five years since the UK left the EU following the result of the 2016 referendum.

People in Northamptonshire voted in favour of leaving, with Corby having the highest percentage of leave voters, at 64.2%.

South Northamptonshire had the highest remain share at 45.7%.

The BBC has spoken to two businessmen with different opinions on Brexit and the impact it has had on their firms.

'I've never regretted voting to leave'

Andrew Baxter says there is no other sector that has been more impacted by Brexit

A transport and logistics company boss told the BBC that leaving the EU had been challenging, but it was the best thing in the long-term.

Europa Worldwide Group has a large warehouse in Corby, which is 720,000 sq feet (25 acres) - the equivalent to 15 Premier League football pitches.

Andrew Baxter, its chief executive, voted to leave the EU.

"I believe that (Brexit) was in our long term economic and other interests and I still believe that today," he said.

Mr Baxter said he had never regretted voting to leave despite the challenges his business faced.

"When we left the customs union, the first month it was very difficult to move goods around and deal with all of the customs processes that we had to adhere to...it took us about three months to get normalised," he said.

"And it took about a year to get the flow of goods back to the equivalent of how they moved pre-Brexit. So it was a challenge."

'It's more difficult and trade dropped'

Michael Papé has set up a business in the Netherlands to help with European exports

Ravensden, based in Rushden, supplies toys and gifts to zoos and aquariums around the world.

Between 35% and 40% of its business is trade with Europe.

The firm's director, Michael Papé, voted remain in the referendum. He said the business has had to make many changes.

"It is more difficult and trade dropped slightly at the start," he said, but the company is now back up to pre-Brexit sales.

The business set up a company in the Netherlands and now does things differently.

Mr Papé said there was "a lot more paperwork, but because we've put systems in place it hasn't, from a business point of view, made that much difference".
