Lauren Roberts’ Post

We were absolutely blown away when we saw Victoria 🔊 share HURR’s latest partnership with Deliveroo. Imagine renting clothes and having them at your door in as little as 20 minutes! 😍 Yes, you read that right – your dream wardrobe delivered almost as fast as your favourite takeaway. This is a prime example of listening to the customer and meeting them where their needs are. Last-minute outfit stress is real, and HURR just eliminated it in the most unexpected and brilliant way. This partnership doesn’t just make sense – it’s a total industry game-changer. If we can get food in minutes, why not fashion? HURR and Deliveroo are setting a new standard that other industries will surely look to replicate. Operationally, I can’t even begin to imagine how they’ve pulled this off 😂, but what I do know is this: they’ve raised the bar, and I love to see it! What do you think – is this the future of retail? Would you try it? Let me know below! 👇 #Innovation #Sustainability #Collaboration #FutureOfFashion

It's refreshing to see partnerships with a genuine human story behind them. In the rush to become the next big integrated tech solution, we sometimes lose sight of the human element in partnerships. That's why the collaboration between Mob (https://www.mob.co.uk/) and Deliveroo is an inspiring example for all of us in the business world. Too often, partnership announcements are quickly brushed aside by marketing teams. We see a post with two logos, a brief FAQ, and that's about it. But when there's a compelling human story behind it, it's a win for everyone involved. Here’s why the Mob and Deliveroo partnership stands out: * Supporting the Underdog: Deliveroo is championing smaller startups and co-promoting them. This isn't just about business; it's about giving a platform to innovative new players. * A Balanced Partnership: Mob boasts an impressive 2.3 million followers on Instagram, while Deliveroo has a more modest 120,000. This partnership leverages Mob’s social media clout effectively. * Team Spirit: The entire Deliveroo team is rallying behind Benjamin Lebus and Mob. It’s heartening to see such unified support. * Strategic Alignment: This partnership aligns perfectly with Deliveroo's strategy to boost grocery numbers, addressing the evolving needs of the market. * Relevant Business Model: With so many people working from home and cooking more, this partnership taps into a relevant and growing market. * Media Buzz: The story has captured the attention of UK media, generating numerous articles and backlinks. This kind of exposure is invaluable. * Cohesive Branding: The Deliveroo logo on Mob’s website is a brilliant design choice, reinforcing the partnership visually. * Authenticity in Storytelling: The founder’s post is a masterpiece of authenticity. A humble photo of him from 2016 alongside a team photo nearly a decade later tells a powerful story of growth and perseverance. Posts on social media have garnered significant engagement: 3,300 likes on LinkedIn, 2,700 on Instagram, and countless encouraging comments. It’s pure storytelling with zero sales pitch, which resonates deeply with the audience. This partnership is more than just a business deal; it's a narrative of mutual support, strategic brilliance, and authentic connection. Let's take a moment to appreciate these human stories that make business partnerships truly special. #Partnerships #BusinessStrategy #HumanElement #Inspiration #Deliveroo #Mob The Nearbound Club #nearbound

Deliveroo now delivers to our house in The sleepy Surrey Hills, a marker celebrated by The Firecracker, previously self-proclaimed as “deprived” due to the lack of food delivery. We’ve had Deliveroo delivered to us on our paddleboards on The Wey and the girls, believe it or not, have had lunch delivered during Sports Day (which I’m pretty sure is not allowed). Regardless of Gen Z embracing food delivery (and the localised uptick in Surrey), industry consolidation continues with the pandemic-driven bubble well-and-truly popped, the cost-of-living crisis continuing to bite and service spend dwindling. Just Eat Takeaway.com, a major European food delivery company, has agreed to sell its US subsidiary Grubhub to Wonder for $650 million—a steep loss (91%) from the whopping $7.3 billion it paid in 2021. Based in the Netherlands, Just Eat is a big player in Europe’s food delivery sector; Grubhub is a US delivery platform with a current market share of just 8%, far behind competitors like DoorDash (67%) and Uber Eats (23%). Consolidation in the market in 2018 and 2019 led to DoorDash, Uber Eats and Grubhub being the three main food delivery services in the US. Similar consolidation happened in Europe with the Just Eat and Takeaway.com merger and several acquisitions happened in Asia-Pacific to reduce options to two or three. After struggling to sell Grubhub since 2022, Just Eat faced investor pressure to shed underperforming assets, leading to impairment charges of €4.6 billion in 2022 and another €1.5 billion in 2023. The sale aims to improve Just Eat’s cash flow, boost its growth, and allow it to focus elsewhere. Shares of Just Eat rose 20% following the news, and the deal is expected to close in early 2025, pending regulatory approvals. The sale highlights challenges in the food delivery market, which saw rapid expansion during the pandemic but now faces intense competition, high costs, and declining orders. Grubhub’s reduced market position, coupled with Just Eat’s decision to refocus, reflects the consolidation trend where only the strongest players thrive. #TechForGood #WasteToPlate 🍽️ I Support Waste To Plate 🍽️ #TheCPGGeek #IBMRetail #IBMConsumer #FMCG #ConsumerGoods #Retail 💙 Proud to be a #RethinkRetailTopExpert - RETHINK Retail #RethinkRetail 💙 Proud to be an #NRFRetailVoice - National Retail Federation #NRF TechCrunch | After years of trying, Just Eat Takeaway is selling Grubhub to Wonder for $650M: https://lnkd.in/eSwmtPHS | Ivan Mehta Financial Times | Just Eat Takeaway sells Grubhub at steep loss https://on.ft.com/4hK27UM | Yasemin Craggs Mersinoglu, Maxine Kelly

A bit about our partnership with Deliveroo. First of alll, as a busniess idea Deliveroo is phenomenal, I was a fan of it in the UK, but living just outside of London meant I’d often fall out the catchment area for all of the good eats. However in the UAE, the busniess is on a whole new level, the workforce is so large and they have depots strategically located all across Dubai to efficiently serve all areas within the space of 30 mins. I would’ve never imagined listing Health Nag on here, but when you think it through, the decision becomes a no brainer…. Everyday use items like the Bioactive Collagen Gel and the Ceremonial Grade Matcha means we have a very high frequency of demand and repeat purchase. Deliveroo offers a value add which health nag can’t compete with and that’s the insane efficiency of delivery. Literally you can go to take your morning scoop of collagen, realise the tubs empty, and then go on the app and have it replenished at your door in 30 minutes and in pristine condition.

Last night I saw an advert from Deliveroo for their Plus subscription service which had a tagline that really made me think 🤔 The tagline went something like this: “SAVE NOW TO BE ABLE TO SPEND ON THE THINGS YOU LOVE” If you think about it, this is actually the rationale behind people who invest in business and properties 👇🏼 Hear me out, everyone wants to create a better future for themselves and their families and generations to come. BUT being willing to do the work and make the sacrifices it’s not something that everyone is willing to do 🛩️ It’s funny how we’re happy to do it when it comes to a cheeky take away or something that’s gonna give us pleasure for a short term. When it comes to really important big things that can completely change everything, a lot of people are not willing to make that sacrifice that it takes to get started 🫣 Most of the successful business and property owners are only where they are because they were willing to take that risk, to sacrifice the comfort of now for the comfort of the future 🔥 For me, I love being able to do things that matter with people that matter 🫶🏼 What is the bigger goal you are working towards? ✨ #propertyinvesting #businessowner

The article in yesterday’s Financial Times proclaiming Deliveroo’s ‘swing to profit’ requires a little scrutiny. Yes, the nation’s homegrown delivery giant did post a pre-tax profit of £4.3m in the first half of this year, on revenues of £1.03bn. But this includes £15m of finance income (i.e. interest). Deliveroo still lost money on its operations, albeit now only £9m, a vast improvement on the £73m it lost in H1 2023. Nonetheless, this was just enough for Deliveroo to record its first net profit (£200k) since its founding in 2013. Let’s hope the trend continues. After all, Deliveroo has nearly £900m in accumulated losses still on the books.
