Ocado Group plc

That's always a danger in this kind of scenario.

I think so far Ocado has seen growth.

some level of shortages.

Other supermarkets so far aren't reporting that.

So I began in IT probably around 2010, 2009, something like that, and started off doing IT for an MSP for small businesses.

And then moved into the IT help desk at Ocado, obviously one of the UK's largest online food retailers.

And they didn't have a dedicated information security team at that time.

So when the head of infrastructure became the head of information security and starting a team, I said, oh, hi, that sounds really interesting.

And really, really quickly, my talent, my experience, my passion turned on to the human side.

So that started off doing training, fishing simulations, communication and engagement.

And for over a decade, I built that program up at Ocado.

Evolved it a couple of times as, you know, the business changed and attitudes changed.

Today, I'm joined by Giulia Baretti, founder and CEO of Sunny & Luna, which is focused on bringing traditional Italian food into the 21st century.

Since launching the business in 2022, Giulia has secured listings across major retailers such as Ocado and Sainsbury's, while maintaining her vision of combining authentic Italian food with with today's modern demands of clean ingredients and convenience.

Julia, welcome to the podcast.

Thank you so much.

Like it's actually good.

It's not only good for your body, but it's actually, you know, like makes you happy to actually have this for dinner.

And something interesting that we found out actually last year, we did a study with Ocado.

We found out that 90% of our sales are incrementality to the category in a way that a lot of people that would never buy fresh pasta now they buy fresh pasta because of us, which for me was fantastic because it really shows how now people there are buying Sagna Luna because of, you know, like of the health reasons.

I got an Ocado at half past eight on Saturday night.

Oh, there is nothing better.

See, the problem is when we do an Ocado and we look in the fridge, it still looks empty.

I have been at your house after a delivery and thought, you're doing a lot from scratch.

We are doing a lot from scratch, I'll be honest.

But what else have you been up to? We said we'd come with new things.

We've come back with Ocado and Traitors already.

Incredible.

Shoppers searching on Ocado for Volvic, Highland Spring and brands like that were told to show alternatives where apparently Heinz and Baxter soup lines also ran dry.

Oh my God, the sheep are out and about.

So frozen food chain Iceland saw a 40% jump in tinned product sales and strong bottled water sales, crediting the government's warning.
