Summary
A decade after the 2016 Brexit vote, British businesses across sectors — from steel fabrication to curry houses to car manufacturing — express deep frustration that the promised economic benefits of leaving the EU have not materialized.

The article examines how Brexit's unfulfilled promises have impacted small and large businesses alike, highlighting the gap between the optimistic projections of Brexit backers and the on-the-ground reality for British enterprises struggling with new bureaucratic hurdles and diminished competitiveness.
