Most industries will be touched by Brexit in one way or another, but some are bracing for a much greater impact. The United Kingdom (UK) transport and logistics industry is one such industry that faces significant challenges as a result of Brexit.

From big-picture issues like restricted access to qualified drivers, to nitty-gritty questions like “What happens when our delivery trucks reach the European Union (EU) border?,” businesses operating in the UK transport and logistics industry face an uncertain time.

Even if you don’t run a logistics company, your business may still be affected by these issues. If you send goods to customers, for instance, even just within the UK, you may be hit by unexpected delays or higher costs. Or you may see your warehousing costs rise as other businesses look to stockpile goods amidst uncertainty, putting pressure on warehouse availability.

The bottom line: All businesses need to be prepared for some degree of logistics disruption. This chapter helps you assess how your business may be affected.
