Euro partners reassure Beco it's 'business as usual'
 |
Top European distributors have told Beco Pets, Britain's biggest manufacturer of eco-friendly pet products, it will be "business as usual" in the future despite the Brexit result.
The award-winning London-based firm exports to 43 countries and has built a healthy network of more than 20 distributors across the EU.
George Bramble, Beco's co-Founder and Sales Director, said the future was "still very bright for exporters" like his leading pet firm.
Bramble, who backed Remain, said: "We were all surprised by the result and a little saddened at Beco, but now we need to look to the future.
"We have over 20 European distributors, and we have touched base with them all saying "sorry we’re leaving", and they have only been supportive and have strongly assured us that it will be business as usual for them."
Beco has just staged the UK and European launch of its pioneering eco-conscious Food for Dogs, billed as being "better for your pet and better for the environment".
Until now, Bramble said it has been very easy to do business within the EU. "We hope this will continue," he added, "but additional admin will be a certainty in processing orders."
In the short term, the strength of the pound weakening against the Euro and US$ might lead to increased exports, he forecast.
Bramble added: "Beco has experienced great growth over the past few years, and we are forecasting for this to continue. We are confident that in an industry that is experiencing high growth, as long as British manufacturers continue to produce great products that have a strong brand story, as I believe we do at Beco Pets, then the future is still very bright for exporters.”
