During the pandemic, Morrisons launched a click and collect food box proposition for NHS staff using Orderly as their technology provider. The proposition supports staff who may be struggling due to shift times and supermarket shortages to get the essentials they need.

The COVID-19 pandemic placed unprecedented strain on healthcare systems worldwide, and the UK's National Health Service (NHS) was no exception.  Beyond the immense pressure of treating patients, NHS staff faced another hurdle: securing essential groceries. Long shifts, unpredictable schedules, and widespread shortages made it difficult for these frontline workers to shop for themselves and their families. Recognizing this challenge, Morrisons, a leading UK supermarket chain, stepped up to provide a vital lifeline.

Supporting Staff

Many staff took to social media to write that they couldn’t get the essentials they need. The problem is even worse when more than one member of a household works for the NHS or in other vital sectors.

David Potts, the Morrisons CEO, stated:

“At this important time, the National Health Service is supporting the whole country so we need to support them too. We will be taking this service to many more hospitals to help feed NHS staff as they face into the challenges of treating people affected by the coronavirus pandemic.”

Proud to Support Morrisons and the NHS

The Orderly team are proud to support Morrisons and the NHS.

Orderly would like to thank the Morrisons teams (from digital to supply-chain) for their exceptional drive to feed the nation — working countless hours with us to get the proposition for both the general public and the NHS up and running in a matter of days.

Next, Orderly is looking forward to working with Morrisons to further scale-up the — helping to support more key workers and increase delivery capacity to the vulnerable.
