In today’s global economy, businesses face growing risks—from supply chain disruptions and port delays to shortages of essential products. Business continuity service providers play a critical role in helping companies remain stable when the unexpected happens. For organisations operating across Africa, the need for reliable continuity partners is even greater due to complex import routes, fluctuating market conditions, and logistical challenges.

Wigmore Trading works closely with businesses across FMCG, retail, manufacturing, hospitality, and wholesale distribution to ensure they have uninterrupted access to the products and supply support they need. Whether you’re sourcing goods from abroad or distributing across West Africa, continuity is not optional—it is a competitive advantage.

What Business Continuity Service Providers Do

Business continuity service providers help organisations prepare for, respond to, and recover from disruptions. Their role typically includes:

• Risk assessment and supply planning

• Inventory stabilisation to prevent stockouts

• Alternative sourcing solutions

• Logistics management and route optimisation

• Emergency procurement support

In the context of trade and product distribution, continuity depends heavily on supply reliability. That is where Wigmore Trading delivers unique value—bridging the gap between sourcing, logistics, warehousing, and last-mile distribution.

The Biggest Risks to Business Continuity in African Trade

For companies operating in markets across Nigeria, Ghana, Cameroon, or landlocked countries, disruptions often come from:
