Vodafone has warned it could move its headquarters from the UK depending on the outcome of Britain’s negotiations to leave the European Union.
The telecoms giant said in an emailed statement it was important to retain access to the EU’s free “movement of people, capital and goods”.
It was too early to “draw any firm conclusions regarding the long-term location for the headquarters”. But Vodafone said that it would “take whatever decisions are appropriate”.
Other businesses have expressed alarm at the vote to leave the EU and the consequences of not being part of the European single market.
