Limiting the Possible Effects of Brexit – August 2019

It is still difficult to predict exactly what the potential effects of Brexit may be as, even at this late stage, we do not yet know the outcome of the Brexit process. However the main issue that we anticipate is the extended delivery times for goods, caused by potential hold ups in clearing customs. These potential delays could in turn lead to some issues with product availability from our warehouses. Direct deliveries from paper mills could also be affected by extended or unreliable delivery times, again due to potential delays due to customs clearance.

Printing Cafe Group does not anticipate any problems with ordering enough paper to satisfy demand, but may experience difficulties in deliveries not arriving on time, which may be beyond our and our suppliers’ ability to control. Premier is however doing what we can to mitigate any such risks.

Many of our suppliers are now actively looking at their supply chain arrangements to see how they can mitigate the effects of Brexit although, at this time, their plans are still being formulated. Premier is in discussion with them to fully understand what actions they are taking to reduce any customs delays, such as signing up for AEO (Authorised Economic Operator) status, which we have been advised could help reduce delays at UK customs.

To further mitigate any risk and reduce effects of Brexit, Printing Cafe has, since March 2019, engaged the services of specialist shipping agents, with considerable experience in handling paper imports, to expedite our deliveries through all British ports.  

We have also analysed which of our continental suppliers are operating a “roll on roll off” distribution model as this is where potential customs delays are most likely to occur. Printing Cafe Group has built stocks of key products delivered by this method in order to help mitigate the effects of unreliable delivery times.

Printing Cafe Group also buys paper from long distance suppliers who operate UK wharf facilities. This is likely to give some insulation against customs delays and unreliable deliveries; however, these facilities only cover part of our business and do not provide a full solution to potential Brexit issues.

Another action that we have taken is to expand our local warehousing to accommodate higher stock levels in anticipation of some post Brexit friction.

Examples of this activity are as follows:

Leeds - Doubled warehouse capacity and we are looking for further expansion opportunities.

Southampton - Doubled our capacity

Bristol - New 15,000 sq ft warehouse

Leicester has been reconfigured to give extra capacity

Castle Donington - has been reconfigured to give extra capacity

Langley capacity has trebled in size

Dartford - New high-bay warehouse giving more than three times the capacity opening in September 2019

At Premier we are doing as much as we can to anticipate and mitigate the potential Brexit effects but we still find ourselves alongside the rest of British Industry in being unsure as to what exactly these effects will be. However please be assured that we are actively putting measures in place to protect the vital supply chain of paper products that is so important to both our businesses.
