"They voted to shape a brighter future for our country.
They voted to leave the European Union and embrace the world.
And they did so with their eyes open: accepting that the road ahead will be uncertain at times,
but believing that it leads towards a brighter future for their children - and their grandchildren too."
​
Rt Hon Theresa May, 17 August 2017, Lancaster House
​
​
Our aim is to influence government policy towards a Brexit that respects the vision of the Lancaster House speech, allowing British business to flourish on a global scale, whilst also ensuring that they are prepared for and consulted about the challenges ahead. This means approaching then next stage of the talks robustly while taking all necessary steps unilaterally and domestically to support British businesses as they pivot towards the world's growth areas.
​
We are campaigning for an outcome that gives the United Kingdom:
​
-
Control of our own laws
-
Free and fair trade with European markets
-
New trade agreements with other countries
-
Making Britain the best place for science and innovation
The Alliance of British Entrepreneurs is positive about the opportunities of Brexit for British business and British workers. We advocate a comprehensive free trade agreement with the EU which keeps us aligned where mutually beneficial but allows our cutting edge tech sector to diverge. As the 5th biggest economy on earth and the centre of world finance, the UK must be a rule maker, not a rule taker.
British business must be given the chance to lead on a global scale. It is time for the Government to listen.
