The transition period has ended and the UK has left the EU customs union and single market and now enjoys a zero tariffs, zero quotas relationship with the EU as an independent trading nation.
Following the signing of the UK – EU Free Trade Agreement, there are new rules for businesses which came into force on 1 January 2021 which require immediate action. Your business needs to act now to comply with these new rules. If you do not take action, there is a risk your business operations will be interrupted.
There are new documents which cover actions that businesses must take to ensure they are compliant with the new rules which have come into force.
You should visit gov.uk/transition<http://www.gov.uk/transition> where you can use the checker tool to quickly identify the actions that your business needs to take. The checker tool will ask you questions about your business and provide all the information you need to be aware of such as new rules on:
* Importing and Exporting
* Moving goods to and from Northern Ireland including Trader Support Service
* Travelling abroad for work
* Hiring staff from the EU
You can help prepare your businesses for the new rules by using a number of support mechanisms provided by the Government:
* Sign up to receive the regular Business Readiness Transition Bulletin<http://public.govdelivery.com/accounts/UKDECC/subscriber/new?topic_id=UKDECC_155> – an email newsletter providing information on major announcements and recently published guidance
* BEIS Webinars across a range of topics will be available on gov.uk in January 2021. They will provide specific advice on how businesses can ensure they comply with the new rules.
We understand that this is a challenging time and encourage you to take action to avoid interruption to your business operations.

An Online Gallery is now being presented by The Gallery at Parndon Mill for all those who enjoy the arts and miss the exhibitions there. The fine arts are represented as well as skilled craft work in many different styles and media - an array of artworks which are a delight to view and a joy to purchase
On view are colourful paintings and original prints by talented artists, some who have studios here at Parndon Mill and others who work locally. The crafts are represented by ceramics and glass including some pieces which are useful in the kitchen or dining room, others which are purely decorative, and some which are amusing and quirky. Four jewellers present a range of pieces in silver, glass and semi-precious stones. Textiles include scarves, purses and pictures in stitch. More unusual pieces are paintings on wood blocks and stone carved lettering.
A special feature of this exhibition is sculpture which turns on screen to show all facets. The artists are Gerda Rubinstein and John Farnham, sculptors who are both well known nationally and particularly in Harlow and the local area.
There is a lot of variety and beautiful objects to look at or choose to buy.

Parndon Mill does not have mains water and our well is running dry. If you could help us with our borehole appeal, we would be most grateful and you would be helping secure a future for creativity in Harlow.
