Supporting Our Haulage Partners
As part of our ongoing commitment to maintaining a reliable, resilient, and sustainable supply chain, Day Group’s board has approved an increase in the haulage rate paid to our third-party hauliers. This decision reflects the significant pressures our logistics partners are facing, particularly smaller subcontracted hauliers, due to rising fuel costs and wider market uncertainty linked to the Iran War.
At present, we are absorbing these increased costs to minimise disruption for our customers and maintain stability in the market. However, if cost pressures continue at their current pace, it may become necessary to pass on a portion of these increases to customers. Rising fuel prices may also have a knockon effect on our manufacturing processes and material handling operations, increasing overall operational costs across the business. Our priority is transparency, and we want to ensure customers are well informed ahead of any potential change.
