Radio 4 in Four

Available for over a year

The man who runs the biggest sandwich company in the UK, supplying all the big supermarkets and coffee chains has told Jess Quayle that prices will rise soon as a result of the fall in the value of the pound. Patrick Coveney, who's the Chief Executive of Greencore says that the higher cost of imported ingredients will eventually filter through to prices on the shelves. His opinion echoes that of Justin King, the man who used to run Sainsbury's, who is predicting supermarket price rises of 5% over the next six months. Winifred Robinson finds out more. First broadcast on You & Yours, 23 November 2016.
