Boris Johnson has now been announced as the prime minister of the UK. He has promised to take the UK all the way out of the EU by the 31st of October. Only 50% of the logistics industry have started to plan for this and what lies ahead. This could spell trouble for those who work in driver recruitment Ireland, or as a driving agency Ireland.
If you do have driving jobs Ireland, then you will know how frustrating this can be. A new joint report has now been released by the Chartered Institute of Logistics and they have since stated that they have queues of lorries that are coming as far as Dover. The chaos in regards to the supply chain has now been cited as being the biggest threat to logistics. This is particularly the case when you look at the no-deal scenario.
Only one out of three logistic firms have established a team that will help them to work out their Brexit strategy. On top of this, one out of five have made use of external help too. In part, this indecision could be down to the government and the fact that they are not clear on what Brexit is going to mean for them in the UK. Only a few people are taking proactive measures right now and 18% are holding back from making any kind of investment decision. 15% of them are planning to move forward with their company abroad and 13% have then admitted that they haven't taken any steps at all for Brexit. These findings come from the Statista study and they have stated that the trends that are happening right now certainly do need to be more documented. That being said, big changes are certainly ahead.
