Zoom 1hr will be delivering a VIP service to spectators watching Wimbledon on a big screen in Shrewsbury

Zoom 1hr Delivery are sponsoring the big screen outside Shrewsbury Castle which will be showing the climax of the Wimbledon matches until the end of the weekend.

The on-demand delivery company will also be able to deliver food from Shrewsbury’s cafes, restaurants, and fast-food chains straight to Shrewsbury’s version of Henman Hill on the castle lawns.

During the screenings of the semi-finals and finals, spectators enjoying the tennis on deck chairs will be able to order from their favourite Shrewsbury food businesses including Press De Cuba, Momo’s Noodle Bar, Lyons Den Gourmet Burger and Planet Doughnut. Peckish tennis fans will need to download the Zoom 1hr Delivery app and input the postcode SY1 2AT to order from the viewing area. On site stewards will be on hand to direct customers to the collection point.

Kevin Williams, Zoom 1hr founder, said, “The Wimbledon big screen is a fantastic idea from Shrewsbury BID, and we are proud to be supporting it with our sponsorship. There should be a lovely atmosphere there over the weekend.

“It is great to see outdoor events in the town again that will attract visitors back in and we are thrilled to be able to provide a VIP experience to spectators who can order food, drinks and snacks from local Shrewsbury businesses via our app.”

Zoom 1hr Delivery are continuing their national expansion across the UK and currently serve nearly 40 counties with their on-demand ordering and delivery service.

Kevin added, “The last year has been explosive for Zoom 1hr Delivery and it is momentous for our Shrewsbury born business to be operating on a national level with our hyperlocal, last mile delivery solution

The screenings will take place from Thursday, July 8 to Sunday, July 11. There is no need to book, although capacity will be limited due to Covid-19 restrictions.
