Online supermarket Ocado surprises local Gloucestershire hero for Mother’s Day
- Ocado selects the most deserving Mum to become a Beauty Queen for the day
- Margaret Batterbury nominated by her daughter as part of Ocado’s Mother’s Day initiative
- Ocado delivers beautician to deserving mum for surprise pampering session
Margaret Batterbury, a mum from Gloucestershire, enjoyed a Mother’s Day gift with a difference this year when she was treated to a special surprise delivery from Ocado. Along with her weekly shop, the driver was accompanied by a professional beautician who treated Judith to a special pampering session and bag full of luxurious beauty goodies sold through the retailer. Margaret was named one of six Ocado Beauty Queens as part of the online supermarket’s Mother’s Day initiative which searched the UK for deserving mums to be rewarded and pampered.
Margaret was nominated as an Ocado Beauty Queen by her daughter Melanie. Melanie reveals that her mother is an inspiration as she volunteered in Zambia for three years where she set up a charity to help fund education for AIDS orphans.
Margaret has faced many challenges in her life - her stepfather has Alzheimer’s and she is on hand to make sure that he not only receives regular visits from her at his nursing home, but that she takes him to see his partner regularly -they are both in their 90s. Margaret has stayed strong and positive throughout this and is known for putting every one else’s needs before her own.
Jason Gissing, Ocado Co-Founder commented:
Mother’s Day is always busy for my family - my four children and I know it’s an important day to celebrate. We wanted to deliver deserving mums a Beautician for a special Mother’s Day beauty treat the Ocado way – exactly what they needed, courtesy of our award-winning service.”
