Organisation | Happy or not? | |
---|---|---|
Sainsbury | ||
Probably unhappy because they import large amounts of food and other products, but don’t really export. Costs will therefore increase, meaning that they will have to accept lower profits per unit, put up prices, or a combination of the two. Either way, their profitability will probably be hit.
|
||
UK universities | ||
Probably happy. They do not import much, but a high proportion of students come from overseas. These students pay their fees in sterling, but when the £ is weaker, it costs less in their own currency, therefore making the UK a more attractive destination for education.
|
||
Honda UK | ||
Probably neutral to some extent in the sense that they probably import a number of components but also have the EU as a major export market.
|
||
Toni and Guy | ||
Probably largely unaffected.
|
||
Legoland | ||
Probably happy – more tourists will see the UK as an attractive holiday destination, but also larger numbers of UK citizens may stay at home, because the £ now buys less foreign currency, hence also potentially increasing demand for UK-based attractions such as Legoland.
