Despite all the doom and gloom in the press following the Brexit vote, businesses are in fact optimistic about their prospects. According to a Recruitment and Employment Confederation (REC) survey, UK employers are not just looking to maintain existing numbers of staff, but a quarter are looking to increase the number of permanent staff over the course of the next three months. Commenting on the findings, Kevin Green, chief executive of the REC, said: "SMEs are the lifeblood of our economy and it's encouraging to see that hiring intentions remain strong within this group, suggesting they have taken the referendum result in their stride."
