The diversification of textile supply chains away from China is already underway, accelerated by the numerous changes to US trade policy since 2025. Whilst these US textile tariffs now appear to have stabilised, the balance of power amongst clothing-producing countries is undergoing significant upheaval.

Our experts reveal how to monitor your partners effectively without slowing down your business.

As a global supplier of spare parts for commercial aircraft, Sentry Aerospares often operates under pressure, dealing with demanding international clients, sometimes unstable markets, strained supply chains and critical payment deadlines.

What would happen to your business if a major buyer said it could not pay for the goods or services it had received? No business is immune to this risk.
