Logistics and supply chain products for temperature-sensitive goods continue to experience challenging conditions post pandemic.

The chilled sector has witnessed escalating prices in air freight. Charges at Heathrow have increased at a rate which is out of scale with any other UK airport, while the standard of service declines.
