Study: Over Half of UK Businesses are Financially Unprepared for Supply Chain Disruptions
A new study reveals a significant vulnerability within UK businesses, as 52% admit they are not financially prepared for the costs of supply chain disruptions. This lack of preparation exists even though 54% of firms have experienced delays and 48% have faced increased costs in the last twelve months. The research, by One World Courier, indicates that most companies are not allocating specific funds to mitigate future logistical problems. These ongoing challenges are forcing businesses to consider more expensive, last-minute options like air freight to manage crises.
