Brexit Statement
Kite Distribution Ltd is experiencing no immediate changes to its supply chain or the seamless movement of goods across the UK, Ireland and mainland Europe. Kite will continue to follow events as they unfold throughout the year and we will continue to engage with customer and vendor partners as early as possible as more details of the future trading relationship with the EU and others becomes clear.
In order to ensure that there is minimal disruption to our business and the service we provide to our customers, we have taken the time to consider the possible impacts to Kite and put plans in place to ensure there is no negative impact to our company or customers following the transition out of the EU.
Supply Chain
Generally, Kite does not foresee that there will be a material impact to the company from Brexit. Our business is derived primarily from and supplied by companies based in the UK, therefore changes to legislation and the practicalities of transacting with European Union will not have a significant impact on the business. Where the goods and services that we Distribute from the UK are originally from outside the UK, we have consulted with our supply chain and in return they have advised that their supply chain is robust enough to withstand any import delay.
Data Protection
Brexit may also have consequences relating to the way we use and process data as the UK would no longer be a signatory to European data protection legislation. Where Kite holds data, we have selected UK data centres. Some vendors and suppliers will hold data outside of the UK, for which SCC’s have been drawn up.
