Deliveroo is a London-headquartered company founded by former investment banker Will Shu and Greg Orlowski. The business has raised over $200 million (£139 million) and expanded aggressively worldwide since it was launched in 2012.

It now operates in a total of 68 cities across 12 countries.

"We've been in that hyper, hyper growth phase," said Warne. "We still very much are in that stage but equally we're focused on optimising the business now too, making sure that we can make money, which ultimately is something that every business has to do, unfortunately, but that is the reality."
