The receivers of collapse freight giant Scott’s Refrigerated Logistics says it cannot provide assurances that food will continue to be supplied to its customers, some of the country’s largest supermarkets, after last-minute attempts to sell the company were unsuccessful.

KordaMentha partner Scott Langdon, appointed last Monday by creditors of the logistics group, told The Australian Financial Review on Sunday that the company’s receivers “cannot provide customers and the public with an assurance that there will not be any disruption to services provided by Scott’s and the continuity of food supply”.
