Brexit could cause staff shortage over Christmas

Brexit could cause a shortage of staff in the period leading up to Christmas, according to Pallet Trucks UK.

“The pound has fallen lower and lower against the Euro, and overseas workers simply don’t want to work in the UK anymore,” said Phil Chesworth, managing director of Pallet Trucks UK. “Plenty of temporary warehouse staff that are taken on for the Christmas rush are from overseas, and a lack of workers could mean that Christmas this year grinds to a halt.”
