Developer St Modwen is spending £10m on stockpiling construction materials in case imports are disrupted by a no-deal Brexit next month.
St Modwen is forward ordering six-months worth of imported materials to prevent any disruption to its logistics and residential sites.
Chief executive Mark Allan said: “Over the past few months we have taken a number of proactive steps to insulate the business as much as possible from near-term disruption, particularly related to Brexit.
“For example, we are investing £10m in forward ordering all construction materials we import directly for six months of production in St. Modwen Homes and all our 2019 industrial and logistics projects.”
