We were delighted to see Andrea Rasca, CEO of Mercato Metropolitano, featured on the front page of the business section of The Guardian this week. He discussed the new EU import rules and the impact this will have on independent retailers.  “For independent retailers, these new import rules could result in many speciality retailers or delis having empty shelves and at worst having to close down due to the limited supply of produce coming into the UK.” Read the full article online here: https://lnkd.in/ep3mfSNN This follows wider discussions around the post-Brexit border checks set to come into effect in April, where Andrea advocated for greater support from the government for the food and hospitality sectors in The Independent earlier in the week. “The food and hospitality sectors are struggling at the moment because of Brexit and the cost of living crisis, and the government should be doing more to support them.” You can read more here: https://lnkd.in/eER69euY #Brexit #Mercato #MMovement #Hospitality
