Deliveroo doubles orders during latest Covid lockdown
News eases investor qualms following troubled IPO with firm reporting 114% rise in orders worth £1.65bn
Deliveroo doubled orders for the first three months of the year but admitted it still had work to do to convince investors about its future after a stock market float beset by concerns over its treatment of workers.
The takeaway delivery company received 71m orders during the quarter, a 114% year-on-year increase, helped by coronavirus lockdowns which led to the temporary closures of restaurants and cafes in the UK and elsewhere, according to results published on Thursday.
