Throughout the Coronavirus outbreak, Brockhouse has successfully adapted its internal operating practises to meet the challenges posed by the impact of Covid-19, maintaining production output, that has met all client expectations.
With COVID-19 severely disrupting supply chains on a global scale Brockhouse is now actively working to assist companies in the reshoring of their production to the UK and get their businesses running smoothly once again whilst providing added resilience against future supply chain disruption.
Steve Chilvers, the Sales and Marketing Director at Brockhouse answered the following questions, of concern to every business considering reshoring production to the UK;
The pandemic has really highlighted the risks, costs and inflexibility of an extended supply chain. Working with the Brockhouse team to reshore production to the UK from countries such as India and China will enable our customers to improve their response times to the end customer. Engineering change will be quicker and easier to implement and of course there are the financial benefits. Total cost of acquisition can reduce and of course with less ‘stock on the water’ the cash benefits are obvious.
This has been a very challenging time for UK manufacturing. The pandemic has very sadly led to the demise of many companies that have not been able to adapt to the rapidly changing environment. I think that as we start to see the broader economy open up again, manufacturers that have adapted, that have been able to enter new markets or become more able to respond to these conditions, will need to continue this work. Weaknesses that have been exposed will continue to drive even more change. More companies will question their extended supply chains, their inability to react and of course the costs and cash associated with all of these issues. Brockhouse has shown its ability to work through these issues and is already helping its existing and new customers to also manage their way back to sustainability and profitable growth.
