Stanborough Consulting Ltd

The next couple of months are vital in any supply chain ensuring that you are fully prepared for peak seasonal trade. Are there any weaknesses within your organisation that you have concerns about? We specialise in providing solutions for international trade, for stock control issues, for streamlining your process flows, for reviewing your ERP and much, much more. Reach out on LinkedIn, on our website, or on our socials...we're here to help.

So somebody needed to say the "C" word. Although a lot of us are sunning ourselves away on holiday it's only 18 weeks until Christmas (there...I said it). Are you ready for the push over the next few months? We are here to support you with any of your Operations/Logistics/Supply Chain needs. Whether it be help with shipping nationwide, shipping internationally, reducing your shipping costs, help with stock control, reviewing your systems and processes or even ensuring you have the right KPI's in place we are here to provide you with the solutions that you need.

Having a wide range of shipping options is good for you and good for your clients. Not every shipment needs to be delivered overnight...sometimes a slower (and more cost effective) shipping method will suit your clients, and of course sometimes we have that super urgent shipment where nothing other than the fastest will do. Are you fully satisfied with your current shipping solutions? We have great relationships with all of the big carriers, and with lots of the smaller up and coming carriers. We'd be more than happy to discuss your needs and to put you on the right path.

I've been asked several times recently as to why would you hire a consultant rather than a Director or Head of Operations/Logistics. Having the right structure in place for your team is of course vitally important, but hiring someone on a short basis to provide solutions for specific issues in most cases will be far more cost effective. Stanborough Consulting can provide training and solutions to assist with any issue within your supply chain, no matter how big, or how small.

Be careful out here everyone, today is going to be the hottest day of the year. Whilst everyone is thinking about the sun and holiday vibes, can you ship to your customers whilst they are on vacation? Shipping to the EU since Brexit has become so much more difficult, and sending shipments to non EU residents whilst they're on holiday in Europe is often trickier than you may think. At Stanborough Consulting, we can provide all of the do's and don'ts for shipping to your clients whilst they're on holiday (and can even help if you're already facing customs issues).

From streamlining your entire supply chain, to resolving quick issues...Stanborough Consulting is your one stop shop for any Logistics/Operations needs. Reaching out is the first step to seamless solutions

Another testimonial has been added to the website - it's great to see the overwhelmingly positive feedback that has been sent through. If you're considering reaching out, hopefully these reviews may give you some extra reassurance. We would be happy to provide you with tailored solutions for everything Logistics/Operations related.

With a number of prestigious international jewellery and watch trade shows coming up over the course of the next few months, are you and your teams fully prepared for shipping your goods? Country to country, and show to show different rules apply for sending your high value jewellery and watch shipments to the trade shows. Even the slightest issue with your documentation can cause delays, or worse. Stanborough Consulting has years of experience in dealing with all of the major international jewellery and watch shows and can provide expert advice, or can handle all of your shipping needs.

Given the huge political changes over the course of the last few weeks within the UK, there is renewed hope that the new government will reintroduce Tax Free Shopping (TFS) in their first budget (likely to be in September). Having worked within the luxury sector for the last 30 years I have seen first hand how the removal of TFS has impacted not only luxury retailers, but tourism in general. The once bustling streets of London's West End remain quiet in comparison to how they were only a few years ago. If Tax Free Shopping is indeed reintroduced are you and your teams ready for the changes? Do you know how best to support your customers? We would be more than happy to help with any preparations that are needed, both with training and with the right contacts for support at the airports.
