General Manager of Grocery & Retail at Uber Eats UK Katie Hunter commented on the Uber Eats x Boots Supporter Survival Kit saying, "Being a supporter is an endurance sport in its own right. Our data shows that Londoners are increasingly turning to us for more than just pre-race carbs on a marathon weekend; they need the pharmacy, retail, and grocery essentials that keep them moving. By partnering with Boots on these exclusive survival kits, we’re taking it one step further to make sure the people on the sidelines have all the gear they need to show up for their loved ones.”
