As a result of rising global inflation, many UK businesses—including the hospitality sector—are facing increased costs. We are feeling the effects of a fuel crisis, which has driven up utility costs and led to weekly notifications from suppliers about price increases. Also, Ukraine's conflict with Russia is restricting grain exports by that country—a significant supplier of sunflower oil (also used in biodiesel). As economic conditions continue to change, businesses must focus on cost controls and sound purchasing practices.
