Dermot Johnson

Dermot Johnson is the managing director of Johnson Bros, a sales, marketing, warehousing, and distribution business based in Lisburn, Co Antrim, Northern Ireland. Since Brexit, he has faced significant challenges in importing organic goods due to increased paperwork and regulatory requirements, resulting in a reduction in the number of products his company can source from Britain. Johnson has expressed frustration over the distraction and uncertainty that Brexit has brought to his business operations, as he spends more time on compliance issues rather than focusing on growth. He remains hopeful about recent developments indicating a potential easing of trading rules between the UK and EU, which could alleviate some of the burdens on his industry.
