US Tariffs: Building Resilience with Make UK

The recent tariff announcements by the US Government continue to create ripple effects across global trade, and UK manufacturers are among those most directly affected. Understanding what these changes mean for your supply chain and business strategy is more important than ever.
The Department for Business & Trade is hosting a must attend webinar to help businesses stay informed and prepared:
US Tariffs: Building Resilience with Make UK
- Date: Thursday 8 May
- Time: 2:00 – 3:00 pm
- Location: Online
This webinar will provide the latest updates on US tariff developments and offer practical advice on how you can respond, plan, and build resilience in the face of ongoing uncertainty.
What you will learn:
- The current position on the introduction of US tariffs.
- How these changes may impact your business.
- How to assess supply chain risks and opportunities for adaptation.
These changes do not only affect companies exporting directly to the US. Businesses operating within global supply chains, especially those linked to North America may also be affected, including by potential ‘retaliatory’ tariffs from non-US trading partners. The impacts may be felt in both Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
