Global haulage driver shortages, Brexit implications, and the various impacts of COVID have created the perfect storm. This is further accentuated by the rapidly changing patterns of consumer behaviour, which combine a desire for instant gratification, with an increased concern over the ethical and sustainable impacts of shopping. Chief Supply Chain Officers (CSCOs) must somehow balance all these demands in an effort to manage costs, speed and quality of service. Some faced with the disruption of the past few months, may reach the conclusion that maintaining ...
