On this episode of Talking Shop I’m joined by Alain Bejjani—former Group CEO of Middle East retail giant Majid Al Futtaim, and author of the definitive new book, NEXT: Leading Through the New Realities. Drawing on his childhood in war-torn Beirut, and his experience steering a $9.5bn dollar retail and lifestyle empire through a global pandemic, Alain brings an unmatched perspective on leadership under pressure. Today, we break down his crisis survival playbook for retailers operating in distress. We discuss why resilience must always outpace efficiency, the four assets a brand must protect at all costs, and how to turn macro-turmoil into a long-term direction that scales.

Deliveroo has expanded its partnership with Sainsbury’s with a new two year contract, which will allow customers to order grocery goods via the food delivery app. 

The trial was initially launched in 10 stores last November, however a further 22 stores in London will be added to the offering. 

In total, Sainsbury’s has said 100 stores aim to provide the service – including locations in Glasgow, Liverpool, Newcastle, Leeds, Aberdeen and York. 

Since its launch last winter, the grocer has revealed that Skimmed Milk, Eggs and Avocados, have been amongst the most popular items ordered.  

Nigel Blunt, director of e-commerce at Sainsbury’s said that working with Deliveroo has helped the group offer “home grocery deliveries to even more customers” and bring them a “super-fast service when they need something in a hurry”. 

He said: “We know how much Sainsbury’s customers value being able to shop for food as quickly and conveniently as possible and we’re delighted to be able to expand this service further.”

Eric French, chief marketplace officer at Deliveroo added: “Deliveroo’s on-demand grocery partnerships have proven vital for so many people during the pandemic, allowing families to get the food and household items they need and want quickly. 

“We are excited to continue expanding this partnership in the weeks ahead and offer Sainsbury’s amazing products to even more customers across the UK.”
