Every industry in the UK functions through a series of connected operations. Goods and services don't seem fully formed. They progress from concept to creation, distribution to customer support, and maintenance to improvement. When you were made redundant, you were not expelled from the industry. You were removed from one position in the chain.

Consider a common example. If you worked in retail and your store closed, you might believe your talents are suddenly useless. However, retail is at the heart of a much larger system that includes suppliers, logistics businesses, inventory management, merchandising, customer care platforms, e-commerce operations, and after-sales support. Your experience is still valuable, but not in the places you were used to applying it.

Redundancy can create tunnel vision. People focus only on replacing the exact role they lost. The smarter move is to ask where else in the value chain your skills naturally fit. If you handled stock, there are warehouses and distribution centres constantly recruiting. If you dealt with customers, call centres, online support teams and subscription-based businesses need that expertise. If you managed schedules or teams, those coordination skills are transferable across multiple industries.

In the UK job market, this shift in thinking is especially important because many sectors are evolving rather than disappearing. Manufacturing may automate certain tasks, but quality control, supplier relationships and compliance roles grow alongside automation. Media companies reduce in house staff but increase outsourcing to freelancers, agencies and contractors. Construction fluctuates with the economy, but maintenance and safety roles remain steady.

Understanding the value chain also opens the door to self-employment and short-term income while you search for stability. When you identify where money changes hands in your industry, you can position yourself closer to that exchange. Someone who understands how projects flow can offer coordination services. Someone who knows customer pain points can consult or train teams. Someone who understands compliance can support small businesses struggling with regulation.

For many redundant workers, confidence is the real casualty. Exploring the value chain rebuilds that confidence with evidence. You see clearly that your experience did not vanish when the redundancy letter arrived. It simply became portable. That realisation is often the first step to getting back on your feet faster than you thought possible.
