Sector ‘Particularly Vulnerable’ To Brexit Impact, Report Warns

The social housing construction and operation sector is “particularly vulnerable” to the impacts of Brexit, a new report has warned. Jonathan Linton, director of the Logistics and Supply Chain Management Research Centre at the University of Sheffield, said the industry was sensitive to economic volatility expected after the UK leaves the EU next year. In a report commissioned by social housing and procurement consortium Re:allies, Mr Linton said social housing firms were also at risk. “Uncertainty, volatility and unanticipated consequences will continue to impact social housing supply chains for many years,” he said. The professor called for a more streamlined supply chain. Download the report from the University of Sheffield website.
