One year on from Brexit vote: business's winners and losers

It's been a poor year for the pound, savers and UK-focused retailers but firms with sizeable foreign earnings have prospered

Britain's consumers and UK-focused firms are among the biggest losers one year on from the shock Brexit vote that drove the value of the pound to its lowest level in more than 30 years.

On the first anniversary of the EU referendum, financial services company Hargreaves Lansdown said clear winners and losers have emerged, with the pound taking the biggest hit on the markets. Blue chip companies with a large proportion of foreign earnings are among the biggest winners.
