Co-op and Uber Eats extend quick commerce partnership
British co-operative Co-op and Uber Eats have renewed their partnership for an additional three years up to 2027, continuing a collaboration which began in 2022.
Their alliance has expanded the availability of Uber Eats to more than 1,300 Co-op stores, solidifying the retailer's position as one of the leading quick commerce grocery supermarket through its online platform and key partnerships.
As part of the ongoing relationship, the Co-op will further its engagement with Uber Direct, Uber's last-mile delivery solution.
Uber Direct has already been integrated into Co-op's online shop to facilitate smooth deliveries.
The service will also be available for orders made through Co-op's newly introduced app, Peckish, which is aimed at bolstering independent local grocery retailers throughout the UK.
Launched in February 2025, Peckish empowers small, family-run, independent grocers to provide online shopping and delivery options.
The extended partnership ensures that Co-op will maintain member price discounts for Uber Eats customers.
Uber Eats was the inaugural delivery service to incorporate Co-op member price discounts, allowing Co-op's more than 6 million members to enjoy savings on nearly 200 products when purchasing groceries and daily necessities via the Uber app.
Co-op quick commerce director Chris Conway stated: 'Growing our quick commerce channel is a core part of our strategic approach, and I am delighted to extend and deepen our successful partnership with Uber Eats.
'Innovation is fundamental to our approach, whether extending reach and choice, creating value through member price savings or delivering the Peckish app to give independent grocery retailers a voice online.
'We see consumer appetite for quick, easy and convenient grocery delivery continuing to grow, and the agreement with Uber Eats marks the start of a new chapter where we will work together to meet the evolving needs of shoppers and to grow Co-op's leading q-comm [commerce focusing specifically on quick delivery) channel.'
In January 2025, Co-op announced plans to launch 75 new stores across the UK in 2025.

NatWest fixes issues which left customers unable to use mobile app
NatWest's mobile app is back up and running after service issues left its customers unable to log in for several hours on Friday. The bank said it had fixed the problems and apologised to users who were unable to view or make payments. A spokeswoman for the bank said: 'NatWest customers experienced difficulty accessing our mobile app today. 'We have resolved the issues causing this and customers are now able to log in and make payments as normal. 'We apologise to our customers for any inconvenience caused.' More than 3,000 outages were reported through services monitoring site Downdetector at about 10am on Friday. And many more could have been affected by the outage across the approximately ten million customers who use the mobile app to access their bank accounts every day. Disgruntled customers took to social media site X to express their frustration over the outage, which has left them unable to send or receive money through the app. Several users said they could not pay bills, send wages or transfer funds between accounts on Friday morning. NatWest reassured customers the issue stemmed from an update it made to the app on Thursday, after some customers raised concerns over recent major cyber hacks affecting Marks & Spencer and the Co-op. It also urged people to use online or telephone banking, or visit a branch, while it was trying to fix the issues. High street banks have been in the firing line over a string of outages that have affected customers, particularly around the end of month when it is typically pay day for many households. Data gathered by the Treasury Committee in March found there had been more than 33 days' worth of unplanned tech and system outages in the last two years for nine of the UK's biggest banks and building societies. NatWest had 13 'material' incidents between 2023 and 2025, paying nearly £350,000 in compensation for customers who complained, it told the committee. Barclays said it could pay up to £12.5 million in compensation for millions of customers affected over the period. Common reasons given for the incidents include problems with third-party suppliers, disruption caused when systems were changed, and internal software malfunctions. Jenny Ross, money editor for consumer champion Which?, said: 'Banks are encouraging more and more of us to rely on apps to do our essential banking, so when these go down it can be devastating. 'In the worst cases there's a risk that impacted NatWest customers may miss important bill payments, find themselves unable to pay for essential services or risk going overdrawn – issues which could come with knock-on effects like late payment or overdraft penalties, or affect their ability to get credit or borrow money. 'NatWest must ensure customers are kept updated and are swiftly compensated where appropriate. 'Anyone affected should keep evidence of impacted payments in case they need to make a claim, and if you think you'll be unable to pay a bill, contact the company involved as soon as possible to ensure they're aware and waive any late payment fees.'

Britain's biggest steelmaker warns it faces Trump tariffs hit
The Indian owner of the Port Talbot steelworks has warned that a carve-out from Donald Trump's tariffs is 'critical' to its business. Tata Steel's UK operations are at risk of falling foul of American import tariffs even if a pending agreement between London and Washington is formalised, because of a reliance on steel made in India and elsewhere. This is because of American demands that UK steel products can only be exempt from tariffs if they used metal that was 'melted and poured' domestically. Ministers are trying to secure an exemption for Tata, which is Britain's largest steel producer, but the business otherwise faces being hit by Mr Trump's 50pc tariffs on foreign steel. The company closed the last blast furnaces at Port Talbot, south Wales, last year and is currently in the process of building an electric arc furnace at the site, which will recycle domestically-sourced scrap metal. In the meantime, Tata has resorted to importing steel melted in India and Europe for processing into products that are then shipped onwards to America. The temporary measures mean the company risks running afoul of Mr Trump's 50pc tariffs on foreign steel, which are currently scheduled to be imposed on the UK from July 9. British steel products already face tariffs of 25pc, like those from much of the rest of the world, but the trade deal in principle struck by Mr Trump and Sir Keir Starmer would see the tax rate fall to zero. However, despite four weeks of talks, the deal has yet to be implemented. When Mr Trump imposed 50pc steel tariffs on the rest of the world, he gave Britain a reprieve until July 9 – and negotiators are now racing to conclude something before then. Even this poses a problem for Tata, as the deal's framework stipulates that steel products sent from the UK to the US must use steel that was 'melted and poured' domestically to qualify for tariff relief. The Government is seeking to obtain a temporary carve-out for Tata and has reportedly said it is confident of success, but the warning from Tata signalled nervousness within the company on Friday. It is understood that being hit by 50pc tariffs would force Tata to either try to pass some costs on to customers or absorb them itself. If it could not absorb them, production cuts may have to be considered. Rajesh Nair, the chief executive of Tata Steel UK, said: 'Tata Steel UK will need to import steel substrate until Electric Arc Furnace steelmaking is operational in Port Talbot from late 2027 onwards. 'It is therefore critical for our business that melted and poured in the UK is not a requirement to access the steel quotas in any future trade deal. 'Even though we are not currently melting steel in the UK, we remain the largest steel producer in the country and our mills continue to transform imported steel coil and slab into high-value, specialist products which are not available from US producers and are therefore essential to our US customers. 'We urge the Government to secure a deal as soon as possible, and we would be happy to provide the US government with any needed assurances on the provenance and processing of the steel we supply.'
