Deliveroo, the food delivery service, has come to Macclesfield, creating 50 new jobs.
Locals can now order food from a range of restaurants, partnering with 30 eateries and takeaways by the end of the year including PizzaExpress, Amy’s Courtyard Cakes & Shakes, Beanies Diner, Cheshire Cakes & Coffee, Chilli Jacks and El Gringos.
More than 50 jobs will be created for local people in Macclesfield over the course of the first year, with the majority of these being Deliveroo riders, who aim to deliver food, which will be cooked, fresh to order and delivered from the restaurant kitchen to the customers’ door, desk or even the park in under 30 mins.
The latest development comes as Deliveroo announced nationwide expansion into a further 50 towns and cities in the UK this summer and autumn, opening in 10 new locations in July alone.
The company will also be extending further into the suburbs in every existing city or town that it currently operates in.
Harrison Foster, regional director in the UK, “Launching in Macclesfield is a key milestone for Deliveroo.
“Macclesfield has a thriving foodie community and a wide range of restaurants, so we’re excited to connect them.
"We look forward to working with our new restaurant partners to reach a new customer base and expand their businesses. Deliveroo will also create work for 50 local riders and are thrilled to offer a flexible role to the community.”
