A family-run label printing company in Bristol believes that Brexit is a "massive opportunity" for the business.
Martin Jackson, managing director of Kingfisher, and his son Karl, production director, don't believe the 海角视频's withdrawal from the European Union is a problem.
The duo, who own and run the company, along with Martin's wife Jackie and sales director Andy Watts, are optimistic about the opportunities it will bring.
“We can’t do anything about it so why worry?" said Martin. "We have European clients and if we end up with tariffs on materials it’s going to affect everybody, so is it going to make that much difference? I don’t think so."
The company, which turns over £2million a year and employs 22 staff, produces labels for the medical industry and many well-known food and drink brands in most major supermarket stores.
The team moved to its new 10,000 sq ft warehouse site in Yate three years ago and has grown its client base to hundreds of companies, including multinational firms.
“I don’t see as a business that we should worry [about Brexit]," said Karl. "We see it as a massive opportunity. We supply food, drink and medical, and the materials are generally bought in the 海角视频. "
Martin added: "A lot of people we deal with want to buy local too. Why would our local customers want to buy their labels from further afield when we are around the corner? Through adversity we always look at opportunities."

Kingfisher is not the only company in Bristol with a positive view of Brexit either. Bristol Port also believes Brexit will be an opportunity whether there is no deal or not.
Bristol Port’s trade is currently 66 per cent non-EU and Bristol is mainly an importing facility. The port does not handle food for human consumption or deal with roll-off, roll-on traffic.
“The Bristol Port Company, with other major ports, is regularly in contact with 海角视频G officials to address Brexit scenarios," said a spokesperson. "We remain confident our systems and operations will continue to operate smoothly and efficiently after Brexit whether there is a deal or not."
But not all companies would agree with Kingfisher and Bristol Port.
Shaun Loughlin is owner of online sports retailer FreestyleXtreme and he has already opened an office in Romania in a bid to prepare for Brexit.
He says if there is no deal he will be forced to make staff redundant and move operations to Europe.
“For our business and thousands of others across the country, the options available to us in the event of a no-deal are to relocate if possible, downsize significantly if possible or go bankrupt," he said.
The 海角视频 is currently due to leave the European Union on October 31.
