From TFA:

However, weak sterling was still encouraging US and Japanese buyers to take a risk [investing in the UK], McMillan said: “They are calculating that a rational solution will be found. This is a real vote of confidence in UK companies, supported by tailwinds from a strong dollar and yen against sterling.

I wonder if one outcome of Brexit will be that native English speaking customer support becomes more cost effective. Are any companies thinking about setting up UK-based support centers post Brexit?

The UK would be badly time shifted from most of the high income Anglophone population, plus labor standards and wages are still fairly high (even at a severe hourly wage discount). Rural Canada is still more appealing IMO if native English is required.
