A cheese company will be able to increase sales in Europe following its acquisition, for an undisclosed sum, by a rival North West business. / Macclesfield-based Cheshire Cheese Company (CCC) had been hit by increased admin costs due to the implementation of Brexit.

A cheese-maker from Cheshire says the post-Brexit trade deal with the UK has led to him losing hundreds of thousands of pounds-worth of business.

Before Brexit, the owner of Cheshire Cheese Co was planning to invest £1 million and dozens of jobs in a Northern town. Because of Boris’ Brexit deal, he’ll be investing in France instead. So much for a ‘Brexit boom’.
