Waitrose's shopping-from-the-office arm Waitrose@work has signed up big brands BP Amoco, Walkers Snack Foods, Heinz and Sara Lee. The new partners will advertise waitrose@work on their intranet sites as a timesaving employee benefit. The Waitrose service offers free delivery on orders over £15 and is aimed at offices within a 15 minute drive of a Waitrose branch. Frozen and chilled food orders are delivered in recyclable containers which hold the required temperature for up to three hours from delivery. Established in June 1998, the shopping service now has 50,000 corporate users in 54 sites. It is in negotiations to sign up other employers with more than 300 desktops. Tara O'Sullivan, trade marketing manager at Walkers Snacks, said: "The scheme has been extremely popular with all our employees in our head office. "It is a huge benefit for our busy employees in terms of time saving." {{NEWS }}
