One-O-One forms council partnership to help shielding citizens

The retailer, which has 43 a portfolio of 43 shops in and around the Glasgow area, has committed to the project on a long-term basis and is working closely with Community Transport Glasgow to enable deliveries to be made daily or weekly, based on demand, in the weeks and months ahead.

Around 13,000 people will directly benefit from the partnership model which promises access to a priority food delivery service that enables users to order and pay for their goods using a reliable and secure system.

Paul Stirling, One-O-One’s group retail director, said: “We are delighted to be working with Glasgow City Council and I’d like to thank them for the fantastic effort and support they’ve offered to help build an order and delivery solution that puts people in need at the heart of this process. We are looking forward to working closely with the council as we roll this service out to our stores across Glasgow throughout June and July allowing as many people as possible to benefit.”

Councillor Jennifer Layden, chair of Glasgow Community Planning, added: “The council’s partnership with One-O-One Convenience Stores and Community Transport Glasgow is a shining example of how the public, private and third sector can come together to serve our vulnerable and shielding citizens in an innovative and exciting way.”
