Tariffs are no longer a short-term headache — they’re part of the new normal. With fresh US tariffs adding to ongoing cost pressures, UK businesses are under more strain than ever. In this climate, how you price, position, and connect with customers can make all the difference.
That’s why Make UK is teaming up with Simon-Kucher to explore how manufacturers can move beyond simply passing on costs — and instead build commercial strategies that protect margins, sharpen competitive edge, and unlock long-term growth. These approaches are valuable in any market, but they’re especially powerful when navigating today’s tariff landscape.
Whether you're leading a premium brand or competing on cost, you’ll leave with practical, actionable insights tailored to your competitive reality.
Plus, Make UK experts will be on hand to answer your wider questions — from regulatory shifts to what they mean for your business.
Join us to learn how to lead with confidence, build resilience, and turn uncertainty into advantage.
