That’s another contract we would have stood to lose post-Brexit. Report here.
The hall will be the home of the Royal Flemish Philharmonic Orchestra.

In what possible way would or could Brexit have had on a contract such as this?
They were able to quite happily employ specialists in Chicago, not part of a political or customs union with Belgium. And the employment of consultants from the UK, at the present time, would have been financially advantageous compared to pre-Brexit vote as the exchange rate is in Antwerp’s favour. I can’t see anything in the report or otherwise to suggest that Brexit would have a negative effect on this type of relationship.
How do you pronounce “Haugh” ? Half, Horf, Hoorrrrghhh, Haw, How?
Maybe that’s why he got the contract….
It looks like an enormous shoe.
