In this episode of WWD Voices, Lauren Parker, director of Fairchild Studio, chats with Glenn Taylor, logistics editor of WWD sister publication Sourcing Journal. Taylor parses through the uncertainty and sheds light on the highlights covered in SJ’s 2025 Logistics Report.
“I do have plenty of faith in the industry to really adapt to a lot of the changes that are here, either expected or unexpected,” said Taylor, adding that supply chain disruptions during the pandemic helped companies build resiliency for the future. “Brands are going to have to keep communication as open as ever, because whether it’s with freight forwarders, 3PL providers or carriers on the ocean or in the air, they’re going to have to know about supply chain bottlenecks more often, and they’re going to have to know about whether freight rates are increasing or decreasing at any given moment based on what’s happening,” Taylor said.
