Significant events
- “The global marketplace is seeing supply chain issues across many sectors, with this being reported widely in the press. The impact of this has been increased lead times which can in turn delay the manufacturing process. It has also resulted in price hardening with suppliers, which the business will mitigate by negotiating and collaborating with customers to redress the situation in a sensible and amicable way. To mitigate the risk of material delays, the management have increased the inventory/working capital of the business, whilst this has not had a major impact on the business to date, management consider that supply chain issues will remain during 2026 and beyond”
