MTA - Brexit Survey

MTA Brexit Survey

This survey is designed to be quick and straightforward to complete and will take no more than 10 minutes to complete.

We want to capture information on the main Brexit issues that might affect your business such as: regulation, standards, trade.

Some sections have follow-on questions where more information is sought, but not essential. Simply complete what you can. You will be contributing to make our collective voice stronger and present compelling evidence to government.

Your individual responses are confidential and will not be shared. The final survey results will be anonymised and results aggregated, and we will make sure that you receive a copy.
