Our findings this year suggest that the significant challenges facing logistics operators as a result of the current UK economic climate and global geopolitical tensions have dented the sector’s optimism to an even greater extent than expected.
While our frequent conversations with logistics businesses suggest that many are still performing well, and it's clear the sector is doing lots of things right to drive change, our analysis reveals an unprecedented level of uncertainty.
There is clearly frustration around a series of roadblocks to growth in the current economic and political environment, which have left many feeling under pressure.
