Congratulations to Christine on her 40th work anniversary 

Brexit has brought about many changes for those selling into Europe and we have seen new customers looking to switch from their historic Logistics partners due to these changes. 

Colvanbridge have found that brands need reassurance more than ever that their European operations and logistics will not be disrupted. 

We would like to share with our customers, a copy of the “No-Deal Readiness” report released by the government on 08/10/19.

It’s worth noting that a Brexit helpline has been set up by the government to offer advice to businesses that our customers may find useful. 

 

The number for this helpline is 0300 3301331 

 

We would also like to take this opportunity to remind our customers that haven’t yet applied for a UK Eori number and Transitional Simplified Procedure code to please do so as a matter of urgency, as we won’t be able to ship your goods from Europe without it if we leave the EU with no deal agreed. 

If you require any further clarification on the above points, please don’t hesitate to contact us. 

 

 

Keeping Up with the Retail Consumer 

 

Today, more than ever, sees the importance of building valuable relationships with retail consumers particularly with new pressures to deliver the ultimate in customer service experience. 

 

In a bid to meet customer’s unique demands, leading retailers are rethinking their overall supply chain strategies. 

 

The era of mass merchandising is slowly giving way to a new era; personalised merchandising, where tailored offerings are proving to be a real hit with customers, and where engaging with key targets plays a crucial role in knowing what the retail consumer wants. 

 

Here in our latest post, we discuss the positive ways in which you too can keep up with your retail consumers by making customer service your best supply chain strategy… 

Today’s retail environment is driven by a knowledgeable consumer and seemingly limitless buying options. 

 

This means, in order to possess a much-desired competitive advantage, and be a success in your industry, providers today need to have talented people across all levels of their supply chain. 

 

But how does your supply chain stack up? And is it leveraging the right structure, technologies and trading partners in order to drive the best level of performance? 

 

In our latest post, we discuss 6 ways to optimise your end-to-end supply chain, including how the evolution of 3PL can help to solve common supply chain challenges.
