The boss of Iceland said he has been forced to pause new store openings after its latest energy bill rose by £20million.
The huge increase has left managing director Richard Walker with no choice but to send an urgent plea to No 10, requesting an immediate cost of living package to help support struggling retailers.
Mr Walker says that extortionate costs have left his business “fighting to keep the lights on” and is calling for an energy price cap for businesses in the UK.
