TASK C
Report on how Brexit has impact the construction industry and business in UK
Introduction of the report
The entire economy of UK has affected after the BREXIT. This issue has become most
famous worldwide and many nations are predicting that whole economy of UK has changed. As
JK roofers is a small construction company it is worried about how the BREXIT will affect the
company will it be positive or negative. According to the views of scholars there are many
impacts of BREXIT on the economy of UK (Grunig, 2013). These views has made company
think about how it will affect it. As there are many workers which include skilled, unskilled and
semi-skilled workers which are employed by the company are from Poland. So Brexit is
affecting the company very badly (Campos, 2016). There is unfavourable change in the economy
of UK as many of the sectors are getting affected by BREXIT according to these scholars. The
above report is on BREXIT and how it has affected the company and economy of UK.
Consequences of BREXIT on the JK roofers will also be discussed as this is a construction
company and feels that there is great threat of BREXIT (Guffey and Loewy, 2010). For knowing
the impact of BREXIT and the meaning of BREXIT in JK roofers business references of various
books, news, journals has been considered to collect proper information on BREXIT. After
studying on various impact recommendation will be provided for formulating the strategies
which will be helpful for the company.

Analysis of the report
In the construction industry there a lack of set skills which is the major problem which
the industry is facing from the decade. After the BREXIT there is a great change in the thinking
of the construction industry because this has affected and will affect the productivity of many
countries in UK (Baker and et.al., 2016). This issue has become threat for the construction
industry so JK roofers is very much worried about how the skill management will work in the
company. There will be critical situation in countries of UK for getting the skill workers for
construction industry. As large number of skilled people in the construction industry were
employed from various European cities because of good relation with Europe. Before BREXIT
there was no problem for hiring the employees so so the company was at good position.
Construction industry in UK was on great height due the skilled human resource which was
appointed from Europe (Hartman and McCambridge, 2011).
Growth in the construction sector has freeze because of BREXIT as said by various
economic scholar. Which has affected the people in taking decision of investing the funds
because they are afraid of losing their funds by investing in the construction industry.
According to various predictions it has lead the company to stop constructions which are going
on and some of the company are not starting new construction because of lack of funds and
skilled people (Song, 2016). Till 2019 UK will take final decision of leaving Europe Union.
This will make easy for taking decision related to how to increase the economic growth which
will help various sectors to grow and they can take initiative towards improvement. Scholars
says that it will take time to improve the condition of UK. It will take a lot of time to gain the
same position for UK. In the present era skilled and semi-skilled labours in the construction
industry of UK comes from Europe union and even the raw material for constructing the
building comes from countries like Italy, Sweden and Germany which are European countries.
Cost of raw material will get increase after BREXIT (Campos, 2016). This will result in negative
impact in the Construction industry as many of the builder says that they will leave the industry
due to high cost of raw material and less availability of engineers. After BREXIT UK economy
will not face the condition of recession but it will definitely get slowdown. This has lead to
change of grade from AAA to AA on international credit rating. The risk involved in leaving EU
is more as the future of various sectors is depend on how economy of UK will grow (Barrett and
et.al., 2015). Risk related to various tariffs for trading will also get increased because now a
4

days there is no barriers in doing international transaction between both countries but afterwards
huge amount of tariffs will get involved in trading. So, it can be said that impact of BREXIT is
very bad on UK.
Conclusion of the report
From the above report on BREXIT it is concluded that it will affect the economy of UK
very badly. As the international trade will get decrease due to high tariffs which is a big
drawback for UK economy. JK roofers are a construction industry so it will also get affected by
the BREXIT as the cost of raw material will get increased. It will not able to hire the skilled
labours which will affect the working of the company as most of the employee working in the
company is from Poland (Busch and Matthes, 2016). After leaving Europe union UK has to face
many challenges related to physical resource and human resource. Thus , it can be concluded that
there is lot of negative impact of BREXIT on UK which will automatically affect the working of
JK roofers in negative way.
Recommendation of strategies for JK roofers
As JK roofers is a construction industry it will face negative impact after BREXIT. So it
has been recommended that it should start hiring the employees whose origin is from UK so that
scarcity of human resource can be fulfilled by the company within the country (Busch and
Matthes, 2016). And for collecting the physical resources JK roofers can get the raw materials
from the countries of UK which will not increase the cost of raw material and also it will not face
scarcity of human resources. UK should start the programme of on the job training so that it will
increase the skills of the workers (Song, 2016). Motivation to the youth will be helpful for UK to
increase the skilled workers which will help the company to recruit the person who are citizens
of UK. To have access on the existing market level UK can join European economic area (EEA)
which will be helpful for UK.
CONCLUSION
Communication tools are very important for conveying information the stakeholders. It
makes very easy for the employer to inform the employees about business information through
email. In the above report BREXIT and its great impact has been discussed which has change the
mindset of all the people living in the UK. As the impact of BREXIT is adverse JK roofers is
worried about its existence in the market. For this purpose various recommendations has been
given which will be helpful for the company. UK should start various motivation programmes to
5

motivate the youth of UK to get qualification in various fields so that requirement of skilled
workers can get fulfilled.
