Part of the stockpiling going on generally is for stockpiling supplies, if a No Deal Brexit happens many supply chains are cut, and just-in-time supply trains in particular are at great risk, pretty much any product that we import and doesn't have to be JIT has already been stockpiled incase of a no deal Brexit. But also with the risk of the £ dropping even further means companies have to stockpile cash too, because although they might have enough to pay everyones wages now if the £ loses a few percentage points quickly then the effective cost of imported products or anything that relies on them also goes up means a companies cash reserves effectively drop.
