摘要

Rachel eade remembers December 5th as Black Friday. Perhaps because of the terrible figures on falling car sales the day before, she was deluged by calls from West Midlands automotive suppliers wondering how they would survive into January. One was a small firm with £250,000-worth of stock frozen on its shelves, another £100,000-worth on its way from Taiwan (ordered by customers but not paid for) and £80,000 owed by Wagon Automotive, a local parts-maker that went into administration on December 8th.rnMs Eade runs Accelerate, a programme overseen by the Birmingham Chamber of Commerce which advises the industry on improving supply-chain networks and diversification. These days she seems more like a stress counsellor, talking firms through options they have probably already thought of-deferring tax payments, or clipping wages and production-in order to hold on until the market improves.
