Nothing directly but here's a couple of interesting points from that article. The fact that people perhaps listened to and trusted his views for leaving.
Ratcliffe describes himself as a lover of Britain
Yet, earlier in the same article....
In an interview with the Sunday Times to celebrate his success as “Britain’s most successful businessman”, Ratcliffe said: “What’s the reason to invest in the UK? Our skills are not great. We’ve got to deal with unions. We’re isolated from Europe. We’ve got logistical costs. Low tax rates help, but cheap energy could really help create those manufacturing jobs we need.”
The we're isolated from Europe i find particularly interesting. Because we all know that Brexit will draw us closer to the bosom of the EU.

No - I stand by that the "few people" might as well be none at all.
Who knows - who cares?
All irrelevant, we had a referendum, one of the largest Democratic processes in modern British history - there is no new information, except blatant scaremongering.

I care, you say you care greatly about our democracy, well I say those two campaigns were an insult to democracy and if any good can come out of them it's that electioneering like that is never allowed to happen again

It is never a plain simple "its because of or partly due to" Brexit.

Because it doesn’t make fiscal or manufacturing sense - they would be adding six weeks to the delivery time (shipping time Japan to Europe), and they would have to vastly expand the Just In Time supply chain for the car parts to build the car.

Why are remainers so against what? Sorry, you've lost me.
The man has clearly stated that one reason NOT to invest in the UK is due to it's distance from Europe, now, that could be logistically or it could be distance we don't know.
The same man then is a prominent advocate for a process which may well distance ourselves further from the EU (in the logistical sense)
You don't see a correlation as to how this is to do with Brexit ?

It does look like the secret sources of social media electioneering are starting to be investigated. Will be cold comfort to find out who was behind the micro targeting after we career off the cliff, when it is too late.

Any need for personal digs?
That particular part of the post was sarcasm.

In Free Trade Globalisation, there are winners and losers.
This would have happened regardless of Brexit.

You think they don’t have supply chain in Japan?

"vastly expand"...
Not something that can be done easily to a complex JIT supply chain in a short time period.

Depends on how long and complex the JIT supply chain. I doubt very much they will be using EU manufacturers for their supply chain. Most likely "in house" as they used to or in Japan.
Won't bother the EU though as they don't need the UK and Brexit won't lead to EU job losses. Sarcasm.
