About This Webinar
Supply Chain Resilience in Light of COVID-19/BREXIT
Wednesday 14th October
2pm – 3pm.
Guest Speaker: Kevin Robinson, Transport and Logistics Professional.

The rise of globalisation has led to increasingly-longer supply chains, as we strive for cost savings, production efficiencies and new sales territories. Whilst this can undoubtedly bring many benefits, it is not without risk. These risks have never been exposed so much as during the global health crisis of 2020 and the impending impact of Brexit. In some cases, supply chains have struggled to meet increased demand for essential items, whilst costly infrastructure may remain unused as the demand for non-essential items collapses. Many organisations have begun to re-appraise their supply chains, often re-engineering them to increase their robustness and resilience to rapidly-changing environments.

Whether you are a manufacturer, retailer or consumer, continuity and consistency of supply is critical in today’s highly-competitive, global marketplace.

This webinar will help you to identify supply chain risks, assess the vulnerability of your supply chain and suggest simple measures to ensure that your business remains healthy throughout times of change.
