LONDON, Sept 14 (Reuters) - The chairman of online
supermarket group Ocado Retail said on Tuesday that although
there were "small pockets" of poor product availability
currently it was no worse than the average of the last 18 months
despite supply chain disruption across the UK.
"There are small pockets of availability that we'd rather
was better on the site and pre-pandemic our levels of overall
availability was higher," Tim Steiner told reporters after Ocado
Retail updated on third-quarter trading.
"Sometimes you have to take one brand over another or one
pack size over another or one variety over another but there
really isn't anything you can't get on the website," he said.
Ocado Retail is a joint venture between Ocado Group
and Marks & Spencer. Steiner is CEO of Ocado.
