Is BrexTWIT or COVID to blame for Britain’s supply chain crisis?: Analysis: Decision to shut out low-skilled workers is exacerbating labour shortages, say industry bosses
A recent report by the accountancy firm Grant Thornton concluded there were almost 1m vacancies in the UK. Half of them were in the food and drink sectors, industries that have for the past 20-30 years relied heavily on an EU workforce. [The problem is not confined to the UK.]
The chronic labour shortage has led to a crisis in supply chains, affecting a lengthening list of products. So what is the root cause of the problem?
The government argues it is the lingering impact of the pandemic. But industry bosses say it is the cliff-edge cause by BrexTWIT with a lack of British workers filling the gaps left in the haulage industry, warehousing, hospitality and the meat production sectors.
Grant Thornton’s research showed that since the start of the pandemic, 1.3 million foreign-born workers had left the UK and were yet to return.
Industry leaders say the pandemic has exposed the weaknesses in the just-in-time supply chain model. Brennan said the food shortage crisis meant that supermarkets, and in turn consumers, may have to permanently reset their expectations as the model perishes.
[BrexTWIT is certainly not helping, but most of the current post-COVID supply-chain issues are global, not confined to the UK.]
