DDC FPO, a global provider of business process outsourcing (BPO) solutions for the freight industry, has released a new white paper discussing the impacts of Brexit on transport and logistics companies.

The white paper, Brand New Britain: What Post-Brexit Really Means for Businesses, examines the current impacts of Brexit, expectations for the next 12-18 months, and common challenges that organisations are experiencing, such as increased paperwork, staffing changes, and supply chain disruptions.

Respondents include executives and decision makers at a variety of organisation types within the industry, including third-party logistics companies, warehousing companies, freight forwarders, manufacturers, customs brokers, online retailers, and more.

According to the survey, 99% of respondents are currently facing Brexit-related business challenges, and 69% expect their operations to be negatively affected for more than 12 months. The white paper highlights the most impacted business areas, offers insight into the overall state of business for organisations whose operations have been affected, and explores common topics of concern for the near future.
