We’ve recently experienced shortages in the UK but the shortage that I’m highlighting has nothing to do with Brexit, Covid-19, climate change, Just In Time supply chain issues or the plight of the great crested newt. In fact this shortage isn’t new – it’s something that has been gradually eating away at our industry for
