LONDON—The boss of carmaker Bentley said failure to reach a Brexit deal would be “quite damaging” to annual profit in the worst case scenario, limit the company’s ability to invest and could lead to its plant closing for an additional few days.

Chief Executive Adrian Hallmark told Reuters the firm was already preparing by building up some stocks and switching from the port of Dover to Immingham to bring in certain parts with more contingencies to be enacted from December if needed.
