Apple CEO Tim Cook is 'very optimistic' about UK’s future after Brexit

"We're doubling down on a huge headquarters in the Battersea area and we're leaving significant space there to expand," Mr Cook said.

The company, last year, revealed it would move 1,600 employees to the new office in south London in 2021. The Government hailed the move as a sign that major firms were still investing in the UK after the Brexit vote.
In a statement released after the meeting, Apple said: "We are proud that Apple's innovation and growth now supports nearly 300,000 jobs across the UK."

Mr Cook was awarded an honorary doctorate degree earlier this week at the University of Glasgow, where he seized the occasion to voice opposition to President Donald Trump’s immigration ban saying: "If we stand and say nothing it's as if we're agreeing".
Apple is among a host of major technology firms to have voiced concerns over the travel ban.
