Primary Connect

Last month, Woolworths Group celebrated the opening of Moorebank NDC, the single largest investment in our 100 year history! This state-of-the-art facility represents a major milestone in creating a more connected and efficient supply chain, ultimately delivering a better experience for our customers. The Moorebank NDC will improve the customer experience by enabling faster restocking and providing aisle-specific pallets tailored to each store's layout, ensuring the right products are always on the right shelves at the right time. Strategically located in Australia’s largest logistics hub, Moorebank NDC will also reduce truck movements and environmental impact as it moves 2.5 million cartons per week to 1,116 stores nationally. A huge thank you to all the team members involved in making this happen! We're incredibly proud to celebrate this exciting new chapter.

Today, we're shining a light on #RUOKDay across our sites, reminding everyone that it's okay not to be okay, and that a conversation could change a life. This year's theme, "Ask R U OK? Any day," reminds us that life happens everyday and encourages us to connect and check in with our friends, families and teammates 365 days a year. Let's keep the conversation going, not just today, but every day. #RUOKAnyday #RUOK #Wellbeing #WoolworthsGroup #bettertogether Melanie Cocca - Head of Safety, Injury, Wellbeing - Primary Connect (Woolworths Group), Martin Bruni, Andrew Jones, Diana Fitzgerald, Jess Matthews

My Primary Connect, or MyPC, is the one-stop digital gateway for customers of Primary Connect+, the commercial arm of Primary Connect.

Over 1,000 Primary Connect+ customers are now using MyPC. Through surveys, they’ve praised the user-friendly interface, quick setup, and how easy it is to create new orders and reports.

This month we hit a major milestone with the completion of construction of our new Moorebank Regional Distribution Centre (MoRDC). With commissioning ongoing, there’s still work to be done before we start to service stores, but at 35,000sqm - this is a win for our team. Opening in 2025, MoRDC will move more than 10,000 product ranges, with  2.8 million cartons each going to over 300 Woolworths Supermarkets - the backbone of our NSW grocery network. Together with the National DC which goes live later this year, MoRDC will enhance our supply chain, not only delivering huge benefits to our customers and stores, but by reducing heavy vehicle movements, realising the value of the Moorebank Intermodal Precinct. A huge thank you to our team and partners including our Property team in Woolworths Group and our builder Richard Crookes Constructions for their efforts. We look forward to sharing more updates soon! #PrimaryConnect #WoolworthsGroup #RichardCrookesConstructions LOGOS

Woolworths is proud to once again be the fresh food partner of the Australian Olympic and Paralympic teams at the Paris 2024 Games. To support our incredible athletes, we’ve wrapped five of our trailers with the faces of Woolworths’ Olympic & Paralympic ambassadors. These eye-catching trucks will be delivering quality, fresh products to Woolworths stores across Brisbane, Sydney, and Melbourne. Check out this timelapse video showcasing how we transformed a truck to honour Australian Rugby Sevens player and proud Dharawal man, Maurice Longbottom.

Primary Connect Proudly Supports Wheelchair Sports NSW/ACT Roll-A-Thon! We're delighted to announce that Primary Connect emerged as the fundraising champion at last week's Roll-A-Thon Corporate Challenge!  This incredible event, held at Allianz Stadium in Sydney, challenged teams to raise money while completing as many laps as possible around the stadium on a sports wheelchair within 4 hours. Our team had a fantastic day filled with friendly competition, camaraderie, and a shared passion to support Wheelchair Sports NSW/ACT and their mission to promote inclusion and empower people with disabilities through the power of sport. Together, we surpassed our fundraising goals, raising over $15,000 for Wheelchair Sports NSW/ACT. A special shoutout to our fantastic team members who volunteered to roll on the day and to everyone who donated who made the day a resounding success!

Celebrating Our Team! Queensland-based Erin Mealey is a valued member of the Primary Connect family. Starting as a picker at Townsville Regional Distribution Centre, following management roles at BIG W and Woolworths Supermarkets, Erin’s aspirations and hard work were noticed by Supply Chain Manager Shane Kerr who promoted her to Safety Lead 12 months ago. His encouragement and belief in her abilities provided Erin with an opportunity to prove herself.

Our Chief Supply Chain Officer, Annette Karantoni was on site when Prime Minister Anthony Albanese opened the interstate rail terminal at the Moorebank Intermodal Precinct this week. “Our new National Distribution Centre is nearing completion, which will serve our stores nationwide, ensuring our customers have access to their favourite products. “The completion of the rail line enhances the resilience and efficiency of our supply chain, reducing the number of trucks on the roads. “We congratulate all involved and our partners across the precinct.
