In the wake of the 2024 Labour Budget, UK businesses face increasing operational costs, with employer National Insurance contributions set to rise to 15% and the earnings threshold dropping to £5,000 from April 2025. As these changes approach, business leaders are seeking innovative ways to protect their bottom line. Process automation has emerged as a crucial strategy for maintaining profitability while enhancing operational efficiency.
