Webinar | Digital Strategy: The Next Tool in UK Building Products Distribution
COVID-19 has had a profound effect on the building products sector, forcing changes to distribution strategies and contractor behaviours, and accelerating long-term trends towards a digital future.
As businesses adjust to new safety requirements and customer preferences, building products distributors are faced with a series of opportunities and threats that will determine their future market position and performance.
