The Cosmetics Cluster UK (CCUK), in partnership with MSL Solution Providers, is hosting a roadshow of events to help cosmetic and personal care businesses across the UK prepare for Britain’s exit from the European Union. 

The half-day events will feature talks from leading industry experts covering Brexit updates and advice, helping to guide SMEs in the cosmetic, toiletries and personal care sector through the key legislation changes.

Delegates will have the opportunity to take part in a practical workshop where they will look at how Brexit will impact their business. At the end of this session, attendees will leave armed with a bespoke, detailed Brexit contingency plan that they can then implement.

Angela Davies, CEO of MSL Solution Providers, says: “Our advice is to prepare for a ‘No Deal’ and be prepared for all scenarios. The changes Brexit will bring will come into force regardless of a deal. However, if the UK leaves without one, then the new regulations are effective as of the exit date, (currently set as 31st October 2019), rather than after a transition period, to December 2020. 

“MSL is committed to helping cosmetics companies get set for business post-Brexit, whenever the final withdrawal date is. Many small companies in the industry are still simply not ready – and if they want to continue selling in Europe, they need to act now.”

The event is facilitated via CCUK with funding from the Business Readiness Fund provided by the Department of Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy (BEIS) to support events, training and the production of advice packs to assist businesses in making sure they are fully prepared for a Brexit on 31 October 2019.
