I am very pleased to announce the publication of the fourth
Norton Rose Transport Survey. This year, we've had over 1,000
responses and I believe it makes our survey one of the most
authoritative and hopefully one of the most eagerly awaited surveys
for the transport industry.
Last year's survey showed that there was a lot of turmoil in
the market and a tremendous lack of consensus from our respondents.
One of the findings that intrigued me most was the fact that over
40 per cent of those that responded believed that bank finance
would remain their main source of finance and yet over 40 per cent
believed that their greatest challenge would be to actually find
that finance and most surprisingly of all, over 40 per cent
believed that the greatest threat to their business would actually
be the cost of that finance.
