Nestlé Professional - £2M of product support for reopenings

The donation aims to ease the stress of reopening and is part of ongoing support for the foodservice industry during the COVID-19 crisis.

The donation is part of Nestlé Professional’s ongoing Always Open for You campaign, which has supported customers and communities throughout the COVID-19 crisis.

In addition to around £4m worth of product donations to frontline workers, vulnerable people and foodbanks as part of Nestlé’s wider support, Nestlé Professional also introduced a number of schemes aimed at easing the impact of COVID-19on customer’s businesses including extended credit terms, machine rental freezes as well as webinars and insight reports to keep customers informed throughout lockdown .

The latest initiative aims to ease the stress of reopening by giving customers one less thing to worry about.

Managing Director of Nestlé Professional, Katya Simmons, said: "Independent businesses up and down the country have felt the impact of the crisis through loss of business and the resulting impact on earnings, as well as the challenges of re-opening in the current climate. 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.”

The campaign will support existing Nestlé Professional customers throughout the foodservice industry over the next few months. Participating routes to market will contact customers direct to provide products.
