You are in: Ocado / The Ocado Way / Talking Ocado
Blog
We’ve got rather a reputation for being passionate, maybe even outspoken, about what we do. Not just about making our business (even) greener, but about all the other things we do too, like offering great value, more choice, better service…
Our blog is one way in which we can share our thoughts and opinions with you, and hopefully give you an insight into what makes Ocado tick. We hope you find it interesting, informative… and perhaps even entertaining!

Win an Ocado tote bag of Orla Kiely goodies
11th May 2012
As a self-confessed Orla Kiely addict, I have to admit I got a little over-excited when she brought out a line of deliciously scented candles and diffusers. As we’ve also just launched these colourful Ocado tote bags (check out the cute slogans) I thought I’d share the love by putting some of these treats up for grabs.

Bodum Mini Picnic Grill competition
30th April 2012
Well summer’s just around the corner, and I’ve got my fingers, toes and everything else crossed for fine, sunny weather. I’ll be spending as much of it as possible in the garden grilling up goodies for friends and family, or heading off for long and lazy picnics.

Keep on running
16th April 2012
For this week’s blog, I’ve been testing out different types of sports nutrition to see how they help with my performance before, and recovery after, training. (If you missed last week’s blog, I’m running my first marathon on Sunday to raise funds for Macmillan, and am testing out different products along the way.)

My first marathon
3rd April 2012
Joining a running club seemed like a great way to keep fit and meet new people when I first moved to Knebworth in Hertfordshire. Who knew that just 12 months later, I’d be training hard to run my first London marathon for Macmillan? That means squeezing in seven-mile runs around my busy IT job at Ocado!

This weekend (28th-29th January) is the RSPB’s Big Garden Birdwatch and, like many of us here, I’ll be perched (ahem) by the window to complete their survey.
