Irn-Bru deliveries hit by truck driver and fuel chaos Business

News of the fuel driver shortage sparked panic buying, resulting in long queues and the closure of some forecourt.

Roger White, managing director of AG Barr, said there was a risk that the gasoline rush would start to affect the business if it continued.

“The current fuel situation doesn’t have a big impact on us today, but if things don’t improve it could have an impact,” he said.

“If consumers behave rationally and don’t put stress on the supply chain, then we understand that there is a lot of supply. “

The comments came as AG Barr said sales rose by almost a fifth for the six months to August 1 to £ 135.3million from the same period last year.

Profit before tax excluding special items jumped 43% to a record £ 23.7million.
