Business:Management

Do main contractors realise how fragile their supply chain is? (EP 96)

Do main contractors realise how fragile their supply chain is? (EP 96)

Download Right click and do "save link as"

This week, Paul is joined by Jo Lucas, Director of Co.Cre8, a consultancy enabling thriving project eco-systems through knowledge, networks, and behaviours and also by Gareth Evans, the CEO at Smart Procurement Solutions, a consultancy that positively disrupts the status quo of construction procurement.

In an exceptionally insightful conversation, Jo and Gareth talk about the fragility of construction’s supply chain, how that has been exposed in recent years and how they advise their clients to defend against both the challenges we face today and will face tomorrow.

If you are a main contractor, this episode is definitely one for you.

Want a demo of C-Link’s new feature?

In last week’s show, Paul explained about C-Link’s new CVR tool - if you’d like to see it. Book a demo with paul at paul@c-link.com or by clicking here.
