We are pleased that M&S have managed to recover from their systems being hacked. The new stock management systems is vastly improved and food waste has been dramatically reduced, so a big well done everybody.
Of course this has a knock on effect to us as food waste collectors, however, we are pleased that M&S are now more profitable and still in business, especially as a number of stores did sadly close. We are grateful for whatever we get. It is a pleasure to deal with such professional M&S Staff who are always cheerful. It was amusing to have such an abundance of brussel sprouts and trifle recently, it made an interesting meal for the homeless we get food to. They are very grateful for the fresh sandwiches, some of which are quite fancy 'cheese and cranberry'.
Neighbourly have an excellent efficient system that manage all our pickups and make food surplus possible. A big thanks to them. May 2026 be blessed for them and all our collectors.
