Additionally, Steria employees have built strong working relations alongside Tesco staff, leading to a highly collaborative and productive working environment. The industry accolade was presented to Steria by Mike McNamara, Tesco’s Chief Information Officer, at the retailer’s annual Supplier Briefing Day.
Steria’s account team was presented with the award in front of an audience which included Tesco directors and supplier representatives. Announcing the winner, Mike McNamara declared that Steria was one of Tesco’s longest-standing and most trusted partners due to their continuing excellent contribution to Tesco Technology.
Steria continues to develop and support Tesco’s mission-critical distribution and replenishment systems, which deliver stock, including fresh produce, into shops and into the hands of customers every day. These are the systems that sit at the very heart of the UK’s market leading retailer’s operations.
Mike McNamara said: “Tesco relies on its partners to provide the same level of capability, flexibility and commitment that we deliver in-house. Steria has demonstrated those qualities time and again, over many years, and this award illustrates our recognition of their value to Tesco.”
