DCCI commentary ahead of EU referendum

Dorset Chamber of Commerce and Industry chief executive Ian Girling

Ian Girling, chief executive of Dorset Chamber of Commerce and Industry (DCCI), said: “As the most important vote for a generation, we urge all of our members to have their say in the EU referendum.

“The result is likely to have a profound effect on the country and the economy for many years to come.

“There are strong views on both sides of the argument, as we saw at the Dorset EU Referendum Debate held by DCCI at our Business Leaders Forum recently.”

He added: “As a non-partisan organisation, DCCI’s role has been to give members the support they need to make an informed decision.

“Whatever the result, I hope that there will be a spirit of unity which allows businesses, and the country, to move forward with confidence.”
