LONDON, Sept 9 (Reuters) - Britain's supply chain is
creaking, causing continuing product availability issues, the
boss of the country's fourth largest supermarket group Morrisons
said on Thursday.
"That combination of a dearth of labour, a dearth of skills,
the pingdemic and COVID does mean that everywhere in the supply
chain there is strain," Chief Executive David Potts told Reuters
on Thursday after the group published first-half results.
He said the firm had experienced some shortages of water,
carbonates, juice, crisps, pet food and wine.
"We have still got an aisle full of water, we've still got
pop to choose from, it's just not as wide a range as it was," he
said.
