Of course Brexit and loss of access to the single market doesn't mean an end to trade with the EU. It will mean that the cost of trade increases.
Cost of trade and cost of work. And if the BP is like @1.10 or so, what will UK export?
And btw - most of international transport |trucking| "is doing" by Romanians ( people from that countries). UK truckers
don´t do that job.

You can't just say "er...well...yeah but immigrants create jobs so whoever already earns £8.50 per hour would be out of a job!...
...er...
...And they THEY'D have to work for £7.20 per hour! ha!"
Lets try once more
What would happen to the bank that hires low-skilled EU cleaners on £7.20 per hour if a) British workers won't clean toilets for £7.20 per hour and b) we were able to control EU migration?
would the bank
1) ask the risk management team and derivatives desk to clean their own toilets?
2) Go bust because they couldn't possible maintain their business if it cost £8.50 per hour to hire cleaners.
3) Pony up and simply pay whatever it took to hire British low-skilled workers?
You can't answer the question can you?
You are talking about a bank, that´s fine. They can pay whatever they want.
Small and medium companies are "used" to pay X now, let´s see if they can pay "Y" in the future...
Or if they want...
Or relocate.
..
But if yes wins it´s a good experiment to see. As an outsider im curious. If things go okey, maybe my countrie and others start thinking in doing that, leaving.
As i said, it´s not only UK that suffers from this...
But i guess... Uk people are too pride ( and im sorry xenofofic - i know lots of people that work in the UK, some for 20y and they all feel unwelcome).
.... Here we like people from UK, and don´t care if they do crazzy stuff in the summer (getting so drunk and making a mess everywhere lol), i guess it´s because the pounds lol.
Btw offtopic
Like 10 m ago i gave some directions to a couple from UK, in english... but i don´t like that; It goes both ways; start learning the language as all people learn when go to UK or France.
