EU referendum letter: 1,280 business leaders sign letter backing Remain

Remain campaigners have said that the letter shows unprecedented support from across business and finance

The letter is a last ditch attempt to sway opinion and new names on the list include John McFarlane, chairman of Barclays

A letter signed by 1,280 UK business leaders from 51 FTSE 100 companies has been published, backing the campaign to keep the UK in the EU.

Remain campaigners have said that the letter, which was published in The Times, shows "unprecedented" support for Remain from across business and finance.

Collectively, the companies on the list employ 1.75m people.

New names on the list include Sir John Parker, chairman of the multinational mining company Anglo American, and John McFarlane, chairman of Barclays.

"Our reasons are straightforward," the letter reads.

"Businesses and their employees benefit massively from being able to trade inside the world’s largest single market without barriers. As business people, we always look to the future — and a future inside the EU is where we see more opportunities for investment, growth and new jobs."

The leaders fear a future where they will have to re-establish the terms of trade with their consumers, which could mean less trade with Europe and fewer jobs.

Polls show that big businesses back the EU, while small businesses are divided, with half backing Leave and half Remain.

This letter contains signatories from across the spectrum, from Richard Branson, founder of the Virgin Group, and Michael Bloomberg, the founder of Bloomberg News, to dairy farmers in Devon and whisky distilleries in the Scottish Highlands.

Remain said it hoped to lay rest to the idea that businesses are split over the issue of whether to stay in the EU, one day before the referendum vote is cast.

On Tuesday, the leaders of 103 British universities wrote an open letter with a "grave" warning about the potential consequences of leaving the EU.

"Voluntarily cutting ourselves out of the world’s largest economic bloc would undermine our position as a global leader in science and innovation, impoverish our campuses and limit opportunities for British people," the letter read.

Business and political leaders are making their positions known in a last ditch attempt to sway opinion before voting takes place on June 23.

Two polls have shown that the Remain and Leave campaigns are neck-and-neck.

A YouGov poll has put Leave ahead by 51 per cent to 49, while a Survation poll had Remain ahead by just one percentage point.

Read the letter from 1,280 business leaders in full below:

Sir, We own and run more than 1,200 businesses, from micro companies to the FTSE 100, employing more than 1.75 million people. We know our firms are stronger in Europe.

Our reasons are straightforward: businesses and their employees benefit massively from being able to trade inside the world’s largest single market without barriers. As business people we always look to the future – and a future inside the EU is where we see more opportunities for investment, growth and new jobs. We know that Britain leaving the EU would mean having to re-establish terms of trade from scratch with our home market of 500 million consumers. That wouldn’t just hurt exporters but the hundreds of thousands of small and medium firms who do business with them.

Even those that want Britain to leave say that, in the short term, Brexit would lead to economic uncertainty and would put jobs at risk. Smaller businesses and the people they employ are particularly vulnerable to any economic shock that could follow a vote to leave.

Britain leaving the EU would mean uncertainty for our firms, less trade with Europe and fewer jobs. Britain remaining in the EU would mean the opposite: more certainty, more trade and more jobs. EU membership is good for business and good for British jobs. That’s why, on June 23, we back Britain remaining in the EU.
