Fiona Drummond, company stores director at James Hall & Co Ltd is “delighted” for the expanded partnership with Too Good To Go.
“Since we launched the partnership service 12 months ago, it has brought multiple benefits to our business, including reducing costs and saving a huge amount of waste food.
“Not only that, it has enabled us to better connect with the communities we service across northern England who know they can access a healthy, wholesome meal at a reduced price at a G&E Murgatroyd Spar.” She said.
In the last 12 months, the app has saved 22,393 meals with over 280,000 views on the app and the service being used by more than 10,000 customers who have been able to access food worth £10 for an average value of £3.09.
