About this deal

The problem is that BrExit intrinsically was going to make a lot of people lose out. When your economy has been in a closely integrated free trade area with a bunch of other economies, it is just inevitable that *many* businesses will have business models that are (by intent or just organically) dependent on customers and/or supply lines within that free trade area. Statement from Andrew Lang, company founder "This was an incredibly difficult decision to make, particularly as we have a development pipeline of new products, but it was personally important to me to wind operations down whilst the company is still solvent and without owing creditors. I'm having to press pause for now to take some time away and evaluate what form Cycloc might be able to take in the future." Keeping your bike steady and safe against your wall, either balanced on your floor or hung high and out of the way, the impressive Cycloc mount uses a hook and pad system to let your bike take pride of place in your garage, apartment or living room. Attaching to your wall with a four-point fixing system, this sturdy two-piece holder is built from a glass-reinforced polypropylene, equipped with rubber inserts which protect the paintwork of both your bike and your support.

Brexit has had a profound impact on us,” said Andrew, who founded Cycloc in 2006. “As a company our whole range has been developed with a European aesthetic in mind. Sadly, trading with Europe has now become very difficult and expensive. In an article published in the Guardian earlier this year, Cycloc revealed that the United Kingdom’s departure from the European Union, which prior to Brexit accounted for 50 per cent of its business, had cost it a quarter of its turnover.This was an incredibly difficult decision to make, particularly as we have a development pipeline of new products, but it's personally important to me to do this while we remain solvent and with no creditors.”

I’m having to press pause for now to take some time away and evaluate what form Cycloc might be able to take in the future.” A government spokesperson said: “Increases in the cost of construction products and materials, as well as in wages are challenges that are being faced by other countries around the world, as a result of the impact of the COVID-19pandemic and strong demand during the period of economic recovery. Wall-mounted bicycle storage firm Cycloc is to cease production, with its founder citing the impact of Brexit as one of the principal reasons for the decision. We would like to take this opportunity to thank our dedicated staff, loyal customers, and our industry partners all of whom have been a part of quite a remarkable journey. We really appreciate the support received over the years.

Its experience is not unique and highlights the continuing damage Brexit is causing small exporters who cannot easily absorb the new administrative burden as easily as big businesses. The British Library has supported more than 540 ambitious London-based innovators, entrepreneurs and disruptors reach the next level through their Innovating for Growth programme since its launch in 2012. In the EU, where similar pressures including supply chain and Covid problems applied, the cost of materials went up 35% while labour in countries such as Denmark and the Netherlands went up by just over 14%. We have about half a dozen products in the pipeline that are in a very advanced stage but we've not been able to commit the capital to bring those to the market yet because of the other Brexit costs and problems we’ve been confronted with.” D’Maris Coffman, the director of the Bartlett school of sustainable construction at University College London said Covid and the energy crisis had also driven up costs. “On balance, I would agree that Covid is the least of the three, probably a fifth all told, and that Brexit and the energy crisis are probably about two-fifths each, about 40% each,” she said.Head of marketing Patron McCleary explained how the focus has now turned to being "reactive" and trying to tap into new markets in the US, Asia, Australia and South Africa. On the demand side the failure to provide a rational system for economic migration aligned to our national interest is a clear failure of government. The old idea that we need more people to boost our industrial output is not very convincing given the automation that is usual in manufacturing.

In places like China or Hong Kong I'm having to learn a lot about the culture, about buying habits, and how British products are viewed. It would have been easier in Europe, but because of how bad Brexit actually was, we've actually had to be quite reactive rather than being proactive," he said. The end of BoE Quantitative Easing (printing money) was bound to be big and the 15 consecutive hikes in base rate were bound to have an impact on the biggest financial commitment that people make. So a price slow but not crash is the best to be expected, and the effect of QE largely remains on making housing cost so many multiples of income that it seem far off to impossible. Cycloc’s products are still being sold direct to customers in the EU via an “import one-stop shop” in Ireland, an automated service to cover complex VAT compliance procedures. In a statement, company founder Andrew Lang, who is also its principal designer, said: “This was an incredibly difficult decision to make, particularly as we have a development pipeline of new products, but it was personally important to me to wind operations down whilst the company is still solvent and without owing creditors. I read a study a few months ago which talked about how a large proportion of RTB formerly-social-rental property ends up simply becoming privately letted property instead.Underlining that the company remained committed to making its products in the UK, he said: “"It is very disappointing. I am a naturally optimistic person, but in a sense it is very difficult to be positive. I don't believe that everyone who voted Remain is acting like a spoilt child - most of us would be happy to see some tangible benefits from the whole Brexit fiasco and would be prepared to say "you know what, maybe it was a good idea but certainly not because of the reasons given before the vote". However, we are yet to see any benefits that I know of - let me know if you find any. I'd say that the bus slogan was more than just ambiguous - it was even denied to ever exist according to at least one person that was photographed alongside the same bus. Andrew Lang, company founder, said in a statement: “This was an incredibly difficult decision to make, particularly as we have a development pipeline of new products, but it was personally important to me to wind operations down whilst the company is still solvent and without owing creditors. https://www.theguardian.com/society/2015/aug/26/right-to-buy-margaret-thatcher-david-cameron-housing-crisis
