Morrisons Daily adds food waste reduction platform specialist Gander to its approved supplier list

Gander, a food waste reduction platform, has been approved as a supplier for Morrisons Daily.

This enables the retailer to use Gander’s technology to sell surplus and short-dated food via the firm’s app, helping to reduce waste and provide local shoppers with access to discounted food.

Gander will integrate via the EPoS providers Morrisons Daily works with. Reduced items are automatically uploaded to the app in real-time. 

Ian Bacon, Head of Convenience Sales at Gander, says: “Being approved as a supplier for Morrisons Daily is an important step for Gander. Retailers are looking for practical solutions that work in the real world. This gives them access to a proven platform that reduces waste, supports profitability and delivers value back into their local communities.” 

Raj Takhar at Morrisons Daily says: “We are pleased to approve Gander as a supplier for Morrisons Daily franchisees, giving them access to an additional tool to help reduce food waste while supporting their local customers. Food waste reduction remains a key focus for our retailers. Solutions like Gander offer a practical way to improve margin recovery while supporting our wider sustainability ambitions.”

Gander already works with a number of Morrisons Daily independent retailers including E C Ashton & Son, Freedom Convenience and Newhaven, as well as ‘Together With Morrisons’ retailers Filco, Warners & Chiltern stores.

 2026 RTIH Innovation Awards

Sustainable retail will be a key focus area at the 2026 RTIH Innovation Awards.

The awards are now open for entries and celebrate global retail technology innovation in a fast moving omnichannel world.

Our winners will be revealed at the 2026 RTIH Innovation Awards Ceremony, taking place at The HAC in Central London on Thursday, 15th October.

Check out our 2025 winners here.

Our 2025 hall of fame entrants were revealed during a sold out event which took place at The HAC on 16th October and consisted of a drinks reception, three course meal, and awards ceremony presided over by award winning comedian, actress and writer Tiff Stevenson.

In his welcome speech, Scott Thompson, Founder and Editor, RTIH, said: “This is the awards’ fifth year as a physical event. We started off with just 30 people at the South Place Hotel not far from here, then moved to London Bridge Hotel, then The Barbican, and last year RIBA’s HQ in the West End.”

“But I’m conscious of the fact that, to quote the legend that is Taylor Swift, You’re only as hot as your last hit, baby. So, this year we’ve moved to our biggest venue yet, and also pulled in our largest number of entries to date and broken attendance records.”

He added: “This year’s submissions have without doubt been our best yet. To quote one of the judges: The examples of innovative developments across both traditional and digital retail spaces were truly remarkable.”

Congratulations to our winners, and a big thank you to our sponsors, judging panel, the legend that is Tiff Stevenson, and all those who attended our 2025 gathering.
