Online grocer says there is little it can do to mitigate feared fresh food import disruption
Ocado is stockpiling long-life products such as Italian beer in readiness for a no-deal Brexit but said it did not have enough warehouse space to build big reserves and could do little to mitigate the feared disruption to fresh food imports.
The online grocer was as ready as it could be, said the chief executive, Tim Steiner, with the obvious problem being that “you can’t store fresh food because it is fresh. It needs free-flowing ports to move from its country of origin to the UK.”
