Brace yourself for a deep dive into the seismic shifts shaking global supply chains. What happens when the leader of an automotive titan suddenly exits amid internal strife and external pressures? Discover how Stellantis grapples with Carlos Tavares’ abrupt departure and the high-stakes race against EU emissions targets, all while Intel undergoes its own leadership transformation with Pat Gelsinger stepping down. Plus, there's a provocative twist as Donald Trump threatens tariffs against BRIC nations, potentially rewriting the rules of global trade.
We also have a feature revisiting Baltimore to see developments since the collapse of the Key Bridge back in March.
Moving to the energy front, smaller British firms find themselves entangled in the web of the EU's General Product Safety Regulation. These complex regulations are forcing many to pull back from trading within the EU and Northern Ireland. As the clock ticks down on the Russian gas transit agreement through Ukraine, we explore its far-reaching consequences for energy prices and EU competitiveness. Tune in to learn about strategic moves like boosting gas storage and leveraging forward contracts to safeguard Europe's energy future. This episode is your guide to understanding the global currents reshaping supply chains and energy landscapes.

About Tony Hines and the Chain Reaction Podcast – All About Supply Chain Advantage
I have been researching and writing about supply chains for over 25 years. I wrote my first book on supply chain strategies in the early 2000s. The latest edition is published in 2024 available from Routledge, Amazon and all good book stores. Each week we have special episodes on particular topics relating to supply chains. We have a weekly news round up every Saturday at 12 noon...
