Outsourcer Bunzl has cautioned over supply chain and staff shortage issues in major markets.

Global supply woes are affecting regions such as the US, UK, Mexico and Australia. In the UK, it said: ‘Infrastructure projects are several months behind schedule and labour and materials shortages are limiting a return to normal activity levels.’ Issues in the US were being mitigated thanks to its global sourcing programmes.

Bunzl posted a 12.3pc rise in statutory pre-tax profits to £275.7m for the six months to June 30. Revenues lifted 0.4pc to £4.9bn, a 6.3pc rise with currency impacts stripped out.
