Tesco Ireland

As Tesco Stronger Starts Food returns to DEIS schools across the country, we're looking back at some of the feedback we've had from home school liaison officers and school principals. Have a look at what they've told us… #Stronger Starts

Our team were hard at work over the weekend, preparing the first Tesco Stronger Starts Food deliveries of the new school term. A huge thank you to the team at our distribution centre who work across the programme - these packs with seasonal fruit and vegetables make a big difference to children and their families across the country.

Attending the Ibec President's dinner, COO Geoff Byrne CDir and Comms Director Rosemary Garth meeting and greeting An Taoiseach Simon Harris and incoming president Anne O'Leary. The event was attended by 750+ senior industry leaders representing organisations across key sectors of the Irish economy.

A big thank you to @Tánaiste Micheál Martin who joined our Chief Operating Officer Geoff Byrne CDir today to help turn the sod on the site of our construction of a Tesco Superstore at Fermoy, Co Cork.  Tesco Fermoy will open in summer 2025 and will employ in the region of 100 colleagues. The store will include car parking and cycle parking facilities, F&F clothing, and a dedicated Tesco Mobile phone shop; as well as the provision of Click+Collect services for customers and a Grocery Home Shopping hub to serve the wider catchment of North Cork. An Tánaiste, Micheál Martin, TD, said, “I’m delighted to see Tesco Ireland begin work on this new store in Fermoy. The retailer is a great employer across Cork County, and a big supporter of local Cork suppliers like Keohane’s Seafood, Silver Pail, and Irish Yoghurts. I’m sure this new store will have a very positive impact on the local economy of this vibrant Cork town.”  Geoff Byrne CDir, Chief Operating Officer, Tesco Ireland said, “We’re finally on site in Fermoy and we couldn’t be happier to turn this sod today. Once completed, this new store will bring all the positive benefits that Tesco brings to a town; including local jobs, community supports, opportunities for local suppliers and a new shopping experience for colleagues and customers.”

There are 5 days left to purchase an extra non-perishable food item and pop it in our Summer Food Collection trolleys in select stores across the country. All food products are donated to local Family Resource Centres and groups supporting children and families who need it most in the community. The trolleys are in stores until September 8th. #StrongerStarts

Since Autumn 2023, Tesco Ireland has successfully moved all own brand eggs to barn, free range, and organic eggs, reflecting a welfare commitment to do so before 2025.   Crackin' news 🥚   Two years ahead of schedule, working with John Mohan and his 120 strong team in Greenfield Foods, Co Monaghan; we’re extremely proud to source and sell 100% Irish eggs exclusively in stores and online.     Tesco has worked with our strategic egg supplier, Greenfield Foods for over 25 years, and weathered many storms together, which is the testament to true partnership and commitment.     Greenfield are the egg-sperts in the industry leading the way on sustainability including zero waste to landfill, the use of solar energy, controlled water systems and much more to improve and maintain quality on site.      Annually, almost 20 million dozen Irish eggs are purchased by Tesco customers in Ireland. In buying their eggs from us, they too are recognising the commitment to quality, Irish sourcing, and choose to support the Irish egg farming industry.  🍳   And we’re not done yet, we’re well on the way to transitioning products made using eggs to be cage free too.  🐔   We’re *egg-static* about this progress and can’t wait to see what the future holds.

Tesco’s larger stores across the country are now offering customers same day home delivery and Click+Collect on their shopping. Tesco Ireland Director of Online, Tesco Mobile and Business Planning Sean Nolan said: “We offer a range of home delivery and Click+Collect slots to suit different needs and budgets. Both our home delivery and Click+Collect offering have proven hugely popular with shoppers, and now we’re enhancing the service by offering customers a same day delivery and collection option. We understand that people have increasingly busy lives, and this new service will offer even more convenience for Tesco shoppers.”  https://lnkd.in/gsYkpGk8

We've done it again! For an eighth consecutive year Irish suppliers have scored Tesco Ireland as their retailer of choice for engagement and collaboration, according to a new ‘Voice of the Supplier Report’ Advantage Group International UK and Ireland. Tesco Ireland Commercial Director, Joe Manning said: “We are delighted to receive this vote of confidence from suppliers across Ireland, through the independent survey from Advantage. Once again, we’ve been recognised by our supplier partners as the number one retailer to do business with. We take great care in the ways in which we collaborate and engage with our supplier partners and are always seeking new ways to improve that relationship. Our 1,000 plus network of suppliers are hugely important to our business, and it is heartening to know that they rate us so highly under these key competencies.” #supportingirishsuppliers
