The Art of Managing AEC Projects in Unpredictable Times

Total Synergy launches report to help UK businesses thrive in unpredictable times.

The UK economic climate is challenging. Brexit, the COVID-19 pandemic and global political instability have all contributed to rising inflation, supply chain disruptions and increased uncertainty and volatility in the markets.
