'We are businessmen and we've just got to get on with it': Tech firms supplying car makers in North-East England optimistic in spite of Brexit result

The region voted strongly to quit the European Union despite being home to some of the country's biggest car makers such as Nissan, a huge exporter to the EU. 


It has been suggested that Nissan may move out of Britain if Prime Minister Theresa May fails to secure a decent trade agreement with the EU. But at a meeting of the North East Automotive Alliance, a group representing more than 160 members with a combined turnover of £9.5 billion, members were sanguine in response to the result of the ballot.
