Kuda makes major Brexit stock investment
Vehicle accessories provider Kuda has announced a significant investment in stock to ensure minimal interruption to customers in 2021, following the introduction of new import rules after the Brexit transition period ends.
“Whilst nobody truly knows what will happen as yet on 1 January, one thing is fairly certain; there will be delays in the movement of goods initially across our borders,” said the company.
“This delay in the supply of HGV parts and accessories, as well as any additional duties (to still be confirmed) could potentially have a direct impact on the industry responsible for moving all of our goods through the UK, transportation.
“At Kuda, we pride ourselves on the close working relationships we have with all of our suppliers. Our key partners in Europe – where many of the world’s leading truck accessories originate from – have worked closely with us to create additional stock for us, and, in conjunction with our carriers, managed to ensure that a significant stock investment has been made by Kuda which will be safe and securely in our warehouses before 31 December 2020.”
With this stock readily available, the firm says it will be able to supply its most popular European sourced parts with almost no delay to the end user during the first quarter of next year.
Tim Vincent, commercial director at Kuda, added: “This investment in stock is something which we have been planning to do for some time to ensure we have as much as we possibly can available for our customers.
“Nobody has a crystal ball with regards to Brexit delays; however we feel like the preparations we have made as a business will put us in the best position to ‘ride the storm’ for the first quarter of next year and keep supplying our customers in the process.
“On behalf of Kuda, I would like to thank our suppliers who have supported us in making this happen and ensuring the goods are here on time.”
2021 will also mark Kuda UK’s 30th birthday, and the company says it will be announcing further celebrations next year.
“We would like to thank all of our customers, colleagues and suppliers, both past and present that have supported us since our birth in 1991,” the company added.
“We look forward to working with you in our 30th year and also the next 30.”
