“It will be a tricky road to recovery for many, so we continue to work with and listen to our customers to see how best we can help support them. We hope that the ‘Walk With Us’ campaign resonates with both consumers and operators, as we all try to reconnect with the places and pastimes we enjoy the most.”

In the convenience and independent sector, Peroni has recently provided almost 1,000 bespoke chillers to retailers across the country after a successful initial trial.
