The 2026 electronics supply chain is heading into allocation, and many organisations may not yet be prepared for what's coming.

To explore what these changes could mean for businesses, we're excited to launch Fireside, a new thought-leadership series from Astute.

After the Christmas break, members of the Astute team were proud to take part in collecting donated Christmas trees in support of Isabel Hospice.

Thanks to the incredible generosity of the local community and the hard work of everyone involved, the campaign helped raise an amazing £26,600. This vital income will make a real difference, helping patients and their families access hospice care, feel supported, and receive comfort during the most difficult times.

We’re incredibly grateful to Isabel Hospice for allowing us to be part of this mission. It was inspiring to be part of such a smooth and successful campaign, and we’re proud to have played a role in creating such meaningful impact.

A huge thank you to everyone who donated, volunteered, and supported the initiative.
