Richard, John, Richard and Alastair also discuss the impact of geopolitical uncertainty and global supply chain disruption, including how changing trade routes, tariffs, documentation requirements and international instability are affecting UK businesses.

The discussion also focuses on compliance and the practical steps businesses can take to reduce delays, manage risk and build greater resilience into their international operations. Looking to the future, Richard, John, Richard and Alastair discuss upcoming changes at UK and European borders, including the EU Entry/Exit System (EES), increasing border digitisation and the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM), and what operators should be preparing for.
