Co-op Peckish delivery app gears up for a first at Isle of Wight Festival this coming weekend

Co-op’s recently launched app, Peckish, is making its festival debut at the Sky Presents Isle of Wight Festival this weekend.

The retailer has been serving festival goers at Isle of Wight since 2019 and this year operates two stores at the event. A Grab and Go store is located in Electric Ladyland with everything needed to help revellers ‘survive and thrive’ at the event - from cold drinks, meal deals and ice, to sunscreen and wipes.

This year, it also has a Click and Collect site at the Mellow Yellow Campsite for orders placed via the Peckish app.

James Pogson, Co-op Marketing and Propositions at Peckish,  says: “We are delighted that the Peckish App is rocking up to help make life easier for festival goers at the Isle of Wight festival this weekend. Everything needed is just a few taps away, from soft drinks, beers and wines to ice, toothpaste, sunscreen and more. Our focus is always on making life easier and more convenient.”

Peckish was unveiled earlier this year and is primarily designed to enable small, often family owned, independent grocery businesses, shops and other co-operative retail societies to provide an online grocery shopping service to their local customers.

2025 RTIH INNOVATION AWARDS

Quick commerce will be a key focus area at the 2025 RTIH Innovation Awards.

The awards, which are now open for entries, celebrate global tech innovation in a fast moving omnichannel world.

Our 2024 hall of fame entrants were revealed during an event which took place at RIBA’s 66 Portland Place HQ in Central London on 21st November, and consisted of a drinks reception, three course meal, and awards ceremony presided over by comedian Lucy Porter.

In his welcome speech, Scott Thompson, Founder and Editor, RTIH, said: “The event is now into its sixth year and what a journey it has been. The awards started life as an online only affair during the Covid outbreak, before launching as a small scale in real life event and growing year on year to the point where we’re now selling out this fine, historic venue.”

He added: “Congratulations to all of our finalists. Many submissions did not make it through to the final stage, and getting to this point is no mean feat. Checkout-free stores, automated supply chains, immersive experiences, on-demand delivery, next generation loyalty offerings, inclusive retail, green technology. We’ve got all the cool stuff covered this evening.”

“But just importantly we’ve got lots of great examples of companies taking innovative tech and making it usable in everyday operations - resulting in more efficiency and profitability in all areas.”

Congratulations to our 2024 winners, and a big thank you to our sponsors, judging panel, the legend that is Lucy Porter, and all those who attended November's gathering.
