From Morgan Burgoyne TFC CEO

TFC’s aim is to provide stability and confidence in uncertain times

Since Brexit was first announced TFC has been pro-actively working on a strategy that continues to support our customers. This included the creation of a cross-functional team tasked with forming a robust set of strategies to prepare for the Brexit transition. Collation and dissemination of available data and information has been at the forefront of the process to help identify areas of risk for TFC and our loyal customer base.

When the transition period ends on 31st December 2020, there will be a guaranteed set of changes and opportunities for which businesses need to prepare as the UK leaves the customs union and single market.

Manufacturers have been given government guidance to take action now to prepare for the end of the Brexit transition period and for businesses to familiarise themselves with the actions they will need to take, by visiting gov.uk/transition and using the checker tool.

Like other committed companies within the extended supply chain, TFC have identified the key area of supply continuity in the face of cross-border customs delays.

Despite the challenges presented by the ongoing COVID pandemic, TFC has maintained a focus on the Brexit timetable and continued to work to mitigate supply risks by ensuring the availability of contingency stocks. We have been carefully monitoring and managing our cross border purchases and proactively working to ensure sufficient stock availability of any products deemed to be at potential risk. Once again we have also been pro-actively working with key customers to ensure sufficient stocks of ‘specials’ are in place.

TFC are committed to all current and new customers alike. Through our network of logistic sites (7 in the UK, 2 in Germany, and 1 in the Czech Republic) we have storage capacity and supply chain solutions to continue to support our customers and to cover any eventuality.

Only by working together can we be in a position to provide stability in uncertain times. Should you have any concerns and wish to discuss what options we have to suit your business, please contact your local TFC Team listed here:
