2025 Transport Industry Report:

42% of SMEs hit by critical payment delays
£17,000 average loss to FX volatility
65% impacted by post-Brexit frictions

Solution To Challenges

The Report confirms what transport directors are feeling on the ground.

You're facing the dual squeeze of rising operational costs and customers stretching payment terms.

Finding: 42% of SMEs are hit by critical payment delays.

For Transport & Haulage:

That's your truck sitting idle in the yard, fully serviced but unable to take a new load, because you're waiting 60+ days for an invoice from a completed European run to clear.

Finding: Over half of SMEs lost an average of £17,000 to FX volatility last year.

For Logistics & Wholesale:

It's the bitter taste of watching your profit margin on an import get silently eroded by currency shifts, turning a carefully planned consignment into a break-even exercise at best.

Finding: Post-Brexit trade frictions have "significantly impacted" the bottom line for 65% of businesses.

For Freight Forwarders:

This is the administrative headache of customs paperwork and the unexpected demurrage charges as delays cascade, tying up your cash in port instead of in your business.
