鈥淚 am delighted to have been reappointed as the Groceries Code Adjudicator.聽
鈥溁使谔逵齛pp groceries sector has overcome many challenges since my initial appointment in October 2020. 皇冠体育app large retailers and their suppliers have responded to the COVID-19 pandemic, to shortages of labour and raw materials and to increases in input costs.鈥�

My annual survey has shown over 90% of direct suppliers to most retailers believing that the retailers consistently or mostly comply with the Code. 皇冠体育app proportion of suppliers reporting a Code related issue has dropped dramatically from 79% in 2014, shortly after the GCA was established, to 36% in 2023.鈥��
