Due to the impending EU referendum taking place on 23^rd June, views on the Brexit matter were gathered recently to access the opinion of the business community in Exeter.

51% of businesses have reported that they believe EU membership has some importance to them and in addition 70% perceive that there would be some kind of risk to their business if the UK was to leave the EU.  Furthermore, 84% of businesses have the view that leaving the EU would pose a risk to the to the UK economy.

The Chamber intends to survey the membership as to their voting intentions nearer the date of the referendum, when hopefully more information will have become available to help business decide on their vote.
