BOSS Outlook - The latest state of trade report is available to download now!

BOSS Outlook is the BOSS Federation's quarterly office supplies & services industry trends survey and is free to BOSS members.

The latest BOSS Outlook reports the following:

  • Business confidence in the general state of trade continues to be reported as increasingly positive, climbing above and beyond expectations with sales and output forecast to hold growth in Q3.
  • Sales volumes continued to be positive overall in Q2 and output growth is also expected to persist despite some concerns over customer demand and competition.
  • Competitor pricing was the most voiced business concern, followed by the survival of major customers and access to skilled labour.

To download the report, please click here.

If you experience any problems accessing the report or have forgotten your log in details, please call 0845 450 1565.

Don't forget, there are only a few days left to have your say in our OP Brand Survey for the BOSS Awards 2014, found below!
