Swedish cider-maker Kopparberg is to produce its drinks in the UK in an attempt to strengthen relationships with UK pubs and bars in the event of a no-deal Brexit. It is unknown where the company will base its UK production or how many people it will seek to employ. The move comes in response to fears that a hard Brexit could disrupt supply chains. Kopparberg has never been made outside Sweden before. JD Wetherspoon chairman and Brexit supporter Lord Wolfson said it was “very exciting” for him as he had previously visited the country several times. At least 30,000 UK bars and pubs stock its products.
