UK service trade is utterly predicated on EU membership though, that sector has grown up within the EU and is completely reliant on the ability to send staff back wards and forwards to the EU without any checks or balances, most of my mates work as much in Germany as they do in the UK, their companies are mostly joint UK EU, mostly Dutch for some reason, the whole point of Brexit is to make service trade more difficult through the closing off of freedom of movement.

Brexit is a desire to go backwards to an imaginary 1950's or 60's when things were still made in Britain by British companies who's wholly white British workforce still wore flat caps and drank mild and bitter.
