According to the ONS, UK goods exports to the EU fell 40.7%, while imports of EU goods into Britain dropped by 28.8%; this equates to a £5.3bn fall in exports in January 2021, and a £8.9bn fall in imports. These are the first figures since the new trading rules between the UK and the EU were introduced, which the ONS said was a “notable hit” though “likely the result of temporary factors”, and was smaller than some had expected. However, the ONS added that other data suggests that trade levels had started to recover towards the end of January 2021. imagesmag.uk/ONS-trade-Jan21 Snickers Workwear extends its High- Visibility line Snickers Workwear has introduced a number of new garments to its High- Visibility collection of protectivewear.
