Mr Sables, chief executive of Sentinel Management, said:

“Prices on the shelf will go up five per cent in store, but it won’t be enough.

“The retailers will communicate an additional four to five per cent price increase which will go through in January.

“Suppliers we speak to are petrified about what will happen next.”
