MCCOLL'S has teamed up with Deliveroo to deliver daily essentials to those in isolation.

The service will be running from the store at 2 Lovely Lane to deliver food and drink items, toiletries and cleaning products during the on-going health crisis.

It will first be rolled out to 120 McColl’s stores through the Deliveroo app, before expanding to 300 stores across the country.

The partnership is a significant move to make sure customers can still access the food and toiletries they need from the safety of their own home, especially the elderly and vulnerable.

Once purchased through the Deliveroo app, items can be on a customer's doorstep in under 30 minutes with no contact necessary.

Jonathan Miller, chief executive of McColl’s, said: "We are delighted to be partnering with Deliveroo at this important time.

"We want to make it as easy as possible for our customers to get their daily essentials as they stay at home.

"The partnership allows us to further our support of the neighbourhood communities we serve, providing the option of home delivery for a wide range of quality goods from our stores across the country."

Ajay Lakhwani, vice president of new business at Deliveroo, said: "Deliveroo is proud to partner with McColl’s and deliver household items straight to people's homes in as little as under 30 minutes.

"McColl’s has an excellent operational track record and together we can achieve national scale at pace.

"This is particularly important during Covid-19 when people are isolating and at home, especially the elderly and vulnerable.

"This partnership will help reach people right across the country."
