Urgent couriers front run an economy without green shoots
As Steve aptly puts it, rapid delivery services serves as a bellwether for the economy. When the market shifts, they’re the first to experience it. So, what’s the industry signalling for the Kiwi economy? According to Steve and his team, greenshoots are not in sight. Enquiries are low and clients are still price-sensitive. Not quite the signs of a recovering economy. On the ground (literally) anecdotes like these from Urgent Couriers reinforce our position: The Kiwi economy demands more rate relief.
We also cover everything from sustainability in the logistics field to the future of logistics amid major technological advancements. Think self-driving trucks, drones, and other emerging technologies. The question is, how are our roads holding up? Can they take us to the future?
Tune in for an insightful conversation with Steve!
