I’m British born. My Dad was a French teacher, so I travelled in France from young age. Studied French and German. European MBA at EAP-European School of Management Paris, Oxford and Berlin (in 1989 stood on the Berlin Wall 10/11/89) – the school is now part of ESCP where Michel Barnier studied. Lifetime spent across the EU. Lived in Germany for 15 years. Married and started family there. I work with my husband in our international consultancy businesses, which is 100% EU-reliant.  Brexit changes everything. Registered as living in Germany and company set up there. Having spent 20 years self-building in the UK faced with the possibility of having to leave our hard won home to move to Germany and even get German nationality.
