UK Manufacturing and the European Union

The general election is over and the British electorate now need to prepare to cast their votes in a simple IN/OUT referendum on the UK's continued membership of the European Union. If 50%+ vote OUT then BREXIT (British exit from the EU) becomes a reality.

Should UK manufacturers be worried about the prospect of Brexit? How might the uncertainty surrounding the referendum decision impact on manufacturing output and investment as the political debate rages?
