Over the coming weeks, Nestlé Professional United Kingdom and Ireland (UK&I) will be providing £2 million (about US$2.7 million) worth of products to support independent customers reopening their businesses after lockdown.
The donation is part of its campaign Always Open for You, which has supported customers and communities during the COVID-19 crisis.
Nestlé Professional UK&I has also introduced many schemes intended at lessening the impact of COVID-19 on customer’s businesses including machine rental freezes, extended credit terms, as well as webinars and insight reports to keep customers informed throughout lockdown.
As part of Nestlé’s broader support, are included around £4m ($5,32m) worth of product donations to frontline workers, vulnerable people, and food banks.
The newest initiative intends to reduce the stress of reopening restaurants and other food businesses by giving customers one less thing to worry about.
With restrictions now coming to an end, we’re committed to continuing to play our part in supporting the recovery of the industry so that together, we can get back to business.
Katya Simmons, Nestlé Professional UK&I Managing Director
The campaign will support its existing customers throughout the foodservice industry over the next few months to help reopen their businesses.
Participating routes to market will contact customers directly to provide products.
