Fever-tree profits take a hit from logistics challenges

The company's slow growth in the UK was offset by strong sales in Europe

Bosses say they are well-prepared for the retun of on-trade hospitality.

Profits at drinks mixer business Fever-Tree are taking a hit from ongoing rising costs of logistics, the company has said.

Bosses said the issue remains challenging as global shipping costs rise due to the Covid-19 pandemic, whilst a shortage of HGV drivers in the UK is causing delays and increased costs across the entire grocery and delivery sector.
