🤔How robust are supply chains in this age of globalisation?🤔

Recent experience shows not nearly enough.

In the last year we've seen toilet roll stockpiling at the start of the pandemic🧻🧻🧻🧻...

Semiconductor shortages stopping smartphone or electric car production...

Evidence of Modern Slavery in the fashion industry supply chain...

A shortage of garden gnomes caused by the Suez Canal blockage (yes, really!)😄.
