Brexit has really thrown a spanner in the works for businessman Dermot Johnson. He’s the big cheese at Johnson Bros, a company that deals with sales, marketing, and distribution in Lisburn, Co Antrim. Since the UK made its grand exit from the European Union in January 2020, Dermot has been knee-deep in paperwork and form-filling. It’s like a never-ending nightmare for him, dealing with all the red tape just to send some organic goods from Britain to Northern Ireland.
The whole process has become a real pain in the neck for Dermot. He’s spending more time filling out forms than actually growing his business. It’s a real head-scratcher for him, trying to make sense of all the new rules and regulations post-Brexit. The recent announcement by the EU and UK to ease up on checks and paperwork for agri-food products moving between Britain and Northern Ireland sounds like a dream come true for Dermot. But, as they say, the devil is in the details. Who knows how long it will take to implement these changes? Dermot is just hoping for the best.
The new rules have turned everything topsy-turvy for Dermot. It’s like navigating through a maze blindfolded, trying to figure out what’s what. Customs, veterinary medicines, labeling – you name it, there’s a whole laundry list of things to worry about. But Dermot is keeping his chin up, trying to make sense of the madness. Who knows what tomorrow will bring in this post-Brexit world? It’s a wild ride, that’s for sure.
