Absolutely. My employer alone has a warehouse with over £1m worth of spare parts and kit that we bought in the run up to the original leave date in case we weren't able to fulfil orders or maintenance contracts. Even if everything else remains equal, we won't need to order anything for months now. So, while that £1m represented a nice flurry of activity in the last quarter, it is an anomaly, and entirely artificial. Once you factor in the lost business as a result of the Brexit uncertainty (companies I talk to on a daily basis are deferring, or outright parking investment decisions all over the place) the net impact will be negative. The eventual outcome/deal will simply determine how negative.
