Booker joins hands with Snappy Shopper to drive quick delivery

Booker, the UK’s largest wholesale business and a subsidiary of Tesco Group, has announced a strategic partnership with home delivery service, Snappy Shopper, to further enhance the home delivery options available to Booker retailers.

Booker works with independent retail customers trading under brands including Premier and Londis, supporting them to grow their business. Snappy Shopper offers a fast home delivery service for UK households, delivering a wide range of groceries from convenience stores including Premier.

Retailers sign up to the delivery service online and local shoppers simply choose their store via the Snappy Shopper website. Items can be delivered in as little as 30 minutes. The new agreement between Booker and Snappy Shopper will further enhance the home delivery options available to Booker retailers, helping to drive sales and cash profit.

The Q-commerce, or quick delivery market, is thriving in the UK, with nearly 70 per cent of the population able to take advantage of fast deliveries online. The food category, particularly snacking, dominates this market, presenting a significant growth opportunity for both Booker and Snappy Shopper.

Mike Callachan, Co-Founder and CEO of the Snappy Group, expressed his enthusiasm about the partnership.

He said, “Our partnership with Booker is a brilliant next step in our Snappy Shopper journey. By working with the Booker group, we aim to unite the worlds of wholesale, retail, brand, and shopper – empowering communities across the UK.

"We believe in fostering strong, long-term partnerships, where together we strengthen the convenience home delivery sector and provide retailers across the country with more opportunities to grow sales and attract new customers.”

Colm Johnson, MD Booker Group, said, “We are delighted to be enhancing our offering with Snappy Shopper. To offer our retailers a brilliant partnership alongside helping them grow is another fantastic step for us. This partnership forms part of our continued focus to deliver the best choice, price and service for our retailers.”
