Just Eat Takeaway.com has said it plans to cut around 1,700 delivery driver jobs and 170 head office roles across the group.

A Just Eat Takeaway.com spokeswoman said: “Just Eat Ƶ is reorganising and simplifying its delivery operation as part of the ongoing goal of improving efficiency.

“As part of this process we have proposed to transition away from the worker model for couriers, which is a small part of our overall delivery operations – running in certain parts of six Ƶ cities.

“There will be no impact to the service provided to partners and customers.

“Our top priority now is to support impacted employees and couriers.

“We are hugely grateful to our talented colleagues and couriers who have been part of the worker model in the Ƶ.”
