Jaguar Land Rover has joined a chorus of businesses warning over the impact of Brexit.
The country's biggest car-maker said a bad Brexit deal would cost the company more than £1.2 billion in profit each year, adding that its UK investments would be "in jeopardy" if faced with the "wrong outcome".
JLR has already outlined plans to shift all production of its Discovery model to Slovakia from Birmingham in a move likely to affect hundreds of workers, although it has insisted it is not linked to Brexit.
Here are some of the other major firms and organisations raising their voices over the EU divorce:
SMMT - The Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT) said Brexit uncertainties have already caused a significant drop in sector investment to £347 million in the first half of the year, down from £647 million in the same period in 2017.
Airbus - The plane manufacturer warned it could pull out of the UK with the loss of thousands of jobs if Britain leaves the single market and customs union in March 2019 without any transition agreement in place.
BMW - A senior director said post-Brexit delays in importing components would put operations under serious threat, potentially forcing UK closures.
Unilever - The company is moving corporate headquarters to Rotterdam in a major blow to the UK, although it has claimed the decision is not Brexit-related.
Siemens - The German firm's boss has warned time is running out to secure a Brexit deal.
Goldman Sachs - The firm is set to at least double its Frankfurt office to 400 staff through a mix of relocations and local hires, though other EU sites will also be expanded.
HSBC - The bank plans to move up to 1,000 jobs to France, where it already has a full service universal bank after buying up Credit Commercial de France in 2002.
JP Morgan - Around 1,000 front and back-office roles are likely to be relocated from London as part of plans to bulk up a number of EU offices.

EasyJet - The airline has applied for a new air operator's certificate (AOC) in Austria to allow it to continue flying in the European Union after Brexit, setting up a headquarters in Vienna.
