We need to secure our future in the financial sector. I am concerned that France or Germany will snaffle up that and lock us out. Something to think about.

If France or Germany could easily do it, they would have done so long ago. A lot of the service sector will be internal to each country and relatively local to the area. Little point in opening a Starbucks or a cleaning company etc.in a German town to serve customers in England.
