Working with people all over the world is one of the things I value most about my role. Delivering large automation projects across the globe is an exciting challenge and requires joint efforts from Ocado teams, our partners and our suppliers. The tight working relationships we build as we roll out our technology means it’s even more special when we get to come together to celebrate our joint successes in person. The last couple of weeks have been particularly exciting; as well as a trip to the USA to visit our friends at Kroger, I was lucky enough to attend the Coles CFC opening ceremony in Melbourne. It makes me proud to see the efforts of all the teams at Ocado Technology pay off when we hit these important milestones with our partners. With two CFCs now live in Australia, our global footprint is expanding ever further and helping more partners offer a top tier experience for their shoppers and run the tightest operations. None of this would have been possible without Ocado Technology’s incredible development and operational teams and all the other teams from across the business who support the roll out of the Ocado Smart Platform around the world. Kudos to all of you!
