The flood of companies rushing to leave the country after Brexit seemed to have become a torrent this week as Dutch authorities revealed they were in talks with 250 firms over moves to the Netherlands.

That’s not to mention those that have opened or expanded offices in Ireland, France, Germany and other EU member states.

So are companies leaving in droves and taking jobs with them by the thousand or is this the latest propaganda from “Project Fear”?
