Voicing her concern about current markets, Kelly Crossley states, “I have a food client who supplies supermarkets who is getting hit from these strikes, and they are running out of stock.” The fiasco is affecting businesses and the government have been warned to soon expect empty shelves in shops if the DP World Ports dispute is not resolved at the earliest.
