The EU is “one of the largest job destruction machines ever created”, according to serial entrepreneur and non-executive director of InterQuest Group, Luke Johnson. Speaking at the launch of The Entrepreneurship Report to highlight the vital role of entrepreneurs in creating jobs, Johnson, best known for his involvement in Pizza Express in the 1990s, said the EU represented “a major challenge” to that vision. “We must make the labour market a hell of a lot more flexible because that is the only way to create jobs,” said Johnson.
