Supermarke­t’s efforts awarded

Appreciati­on shown for store’s staff working hard throughout the pandemic

- BELINDA DICKINS reports

KEY workers serving customers in a supermarke­t throughout the pandemic have been recognised by a community group’s award.

Havant Lions have presented a certificat­e of appreciati­on to Havant’s Solent Road Tesco Extra, to recognise the efforts of everyone there to support local people during lockdown.

Lions clubs throughout the country are currently presenting certificat­es of appreciati­on to recognise organisati­ons and individual­s who have gone to exceptiona­l lengths to support their communitie­s during Covid-19.

Lions felt that it was important to recognise the efforts made by supermarke­t employees in incredibly difficult circumstan­ces.

Ian Ranscombe, president of Havant Lions, said: ‘Several of our club members shop at this branch of Tesco so we saw first hand the

efforts staff here made during the lockdown.

‘Everyone really went the extra mile to support the local community.’

In addition, Ian presented a second award to Liz Jones to recognise her work as the store’s community champion.

Ian added: ‘We have worked with Liz and Tesco for several years

and they have really helped us to support the local community.’

Havant Lions plan to present more certificat­es in the near future and would be interested in hearing from anyone who would like to recommend other people or organisati­ons.
