About Us
Our Story
When our founder and CEO Will Shu moved to London in 2013 he discovered a city full of great restaurants, but he was amazed that so few of them delivered food. He made it his personal mission to bring the best local restaurants direct to people’s doors.
Today, we operate a hyperlocal three-sided marketplace, connecting local consumers, restaurants and grocers, and riders to fulfill a mission-critical, emotional purchase in under 30 minutes. By offering fast and reliable delivery that consumers can track online, we have grown rapidly.
"At Deliveroo, we want to use our unique network for good and play our part in supporting the communities in which we work. We don’t just want to ride through our streets – we want to support them and play an active part within neighbourhoods across the UK.
Building on our support for the NHS, we are pleased to launch the ‘Full Life’ campaign, with a new commitment to deliver one million meals to communities in need.
This is just the start, and together with our amazing network of riders, grocers and restaurants, we are so proud to be able to make a small difference." - Will Shu, Founder & CEO
