Brexit will undoubtedly shake UK export laws with the EU, it will of course allow the UK to negotiate new deals with other regions or states that would have been dictated by European law beforehand.
This could, for example, see favourable deals conducted with parts of Asia or South America, which may have been less attractive in the past. Equally, political alliances may see the UK benefit in trade agreements with the US compared to revival exporters.
What we need to remember is that UK security technology has a well-deserved reputation for innovation, quality and value-for-money around the world. It is easy to take a narrow view over the end of established trading agreements, but it is important to look at the potential opportunities and fully embrace them moving forwards.
