With NIC increases projected to add £2.5 billion to cold chain costs over five years, food prices are set to rise, putting further pressure on business budgets. Following the recent budget announcement, employers will soon face increased National Insurance (NIC) contributions—up to 15%—and a lowered threshold from April 2025. This shift means payroll costs are likely to rise, especially for small and mid-sized businesses aiming to expand their workforce.
But here’s the good news: Automation can help offset these costs.

Investing in automation now can mean greater stability, profitability, and scalability — especially when hiring costs are on the rise.
