Ocado Group, Community Champion Award Sponsor for The Pride of Andover Awards 2023

As nominations for the upcoming Pride of Andover Awards are drawing near, the Ocado Group is in the spotlight as category sponsors for the sixth year in a row, this year as sponsors for the Community Champion Award.

This award is given to recognise an individual, group or organisation who has gone above and beyond to improve their local community through their actions.

Paul Johnson, Area Manager from Ocado Group shared: ‘Ocado has been in Andover for several years, we rely on the community to help where we want to be as a business, but also, we want to give back to our local community as well. We are looking forward to the event, hearing what others have been up to and the challenges they overcome, I personally am looking forward to meeting the winners.’

 For the past six years, Ocado Group, alongside many other passionate local businesses, have proudly supported the Pride of Andover Awards. The Pride of Andover Awards provides individuals with an opportunity to be nominated and acknowledged for their remarkable efforts, as they celebrate the hard work of volunteers, community groups, and individuals who have dedicated themselves to making Andover a better place, the unsung heroes of our local community.
