Speaking to Spanish and British business leaders in Madrid, the CBI Director-General focused on Brexit and why the UK remains a good place to invest.
CBI Director-General Carolyn Fairbairn spoke at the British Chamber of Commerce's Strategy & Leadership Breakfast in Madrid in front of senior business leaders from both Britain and Spain, members of the British Investment in Spain Committee, and representatives from the British Embassy.
She used the opportunity to highlight why Britain remains a good place to invest, despite Brexit - but why political compromise and a deal is crucial.
The speech came as part of a busy couple of weeks in which the CBI met with high-level international delegations from India, China, Turkey and Australia to push the importance of stronger trade and investment ties.
