Just Eat interim CEO Peter Duffy said: “We are seeing strong growth in many of our markets, including Canada, Europe, and pleasingly Australia, where we are starting to reap the benefits of our turnaround plan.

“Our UK marketplace business is a strong and clear leader; however, we are seeing a structural shift, with increasing demand on our platform from customers for broader cuisine choice and more meal occasions, led by quick-service restaurant chains. The strong growth in our UK delivery business shows that we can successfully meet these needs.

“The winning platform for food delivery will offer customers the broadest range, underlining the importance of our move to the hybrid business model and continuing investments in key markets.”

Furthermore, Just Eat announced a recommended all-share combination with Takeaway.com to create a major food delivery business during the quarter. The deal is expected to close at the end of this year.
