Scottish referendum – Business views

Written by Paul Vincent on .

The BCC is receiving numerous requests, from both national broadcast and print media, for businesses with operations in Scotland who are willing to speak on-the-record about the impending referendum. (We have two outstanding requests from the Sunday Times and BBC national news).

The BCC continues to maintain a strictly neutral stance in the debate, but recognises that some businesspeople may want to give voice to their views on the issues that are under the media spotlight – including:

  • Whether companies have moved domicile from Scotland to elsewhere in the UK;
  • Whether any have moved funds or capital
  • Whether any have purchased or leased alternative premises
  • How have company boards revised their assessments of risk around the Scottish independence referendum

If you are a businesses who feel very strongly about any of the above issues and who would want to speak on the record, please contact the press office at:
