Global Invacom

Satellite equipment specialist Global Invacom said the immediate impact of Britain's vote to leave the European Union on the group's satellite communications will not be significant.

The weaker British pound is expected to have a favourable impact on the group's financial performance in the near to medium term, as the group incurs costs denominated in sterling for activities carried out of its British facilities.

Depending on the outcome of trade negotiations between Britain and the EU, the group may consider establishing a logistics hub in an EU country in order to continue tariff-free transactions via a possible free trade agreement to be negotiated.
