"We are delighted to receive this award from the world's largest retailer for a second time during the last 3 years, demonstrating the value we deliver to our customers at scale and with consistency. In what has been an extremely challenging year for many businesses, we are proud to have overcome numerous obstacles to ensure we deliver the highest possible quality of service and product at all times. In addition, this award is validation of the close partnership we have with Walmart which we look forward to continuing to build on an omni channel and cross category basis going forwards. I would like to thank all those in our teams who work tirelessly to put our customers first, this award is proof that all their efforts are recognised."
