FEEDING THE NATION GROCERYAID
HERE’S TO YOU! GROCERY AND CONVENIENCE RETAIL KEY WORKERS HAVE MORE THAN RISEN TO THE CHALLENGE OF COLLECTIVELY FEEDING THE NATION SINCE MARCH.
T
he last seven or eight months have been traumatic for many people across the UK as the coronavirus pandemic sweeps across the nation. What has been taken for granted by shoppers for so long is no longer a given. The response of grocery and convenience key workers, however, has been little short of heroic. To recognise and celebrate the outstanding efforts of the food and drink retail sector, industry charity GroceryAid decided to ask colleagues from around
the country to film their lives during the Covid-19 crisis. From their homes, their cars and in their shops. Here are their stories. GroceryAid President Charles Wilson (pictured) commented: “Everybody in the trade has done a fantastic job in keeping Britain fed. As you will see in the video, farmers, producers, manufacturers, wholesalers and retailers have all played a part. Thank you for a brilliant, brilliant job. Take care everybody, stay safe and thank you.”
