How has 2020 impacted your business?

Like many, the trials and tribulations this year has bought our team have been unmeasured. However the dedication and determination of everybody - especially those who remained un-furloughed - to keep our business afloat has been quite remarkable.

After having to shut both of our restaurants over night, cancel all festival bookings for our street food business for the summer and put a pause on the build of our new opening, we managed to (over night essentially) set up a door to door delivery service, shedding out 100's of kilos of British Cheese and many other goodies to the people of London. From this we set up DIY at Home kits for some of our most loved dishes, UK wide delivery of all things Cheese and Got Milk Fund, a charity that works alongside fair share UK to raise funds to buy surplus milk and cheese from our suppliers to prevent it going to waste and help support their teams whilst their livelihoods of supplying restaurants came to a grinding halt, and distribute this out to families across the UK who really need it.  

As if that wasn't enough, we have battled with the ever changing rules the government have thrown at us with eat out to help out, furlough, curfews, lockdowns, the list goes on. All the while managing to open our first retail space. 

What is your favourite thing about Zipcar?

The convenience - based in central London, and running a multi-site business, running vehicles is not cost effective at all, but Zipcar relinquishes the need!
