A CBD brand backed by boxing star Anthony Joshua has expanded its deal with Deliveroo to Manchester.

Love Hemp launched on a trial basis with the delivery giant in December, servicing customers within a 6km radius of the brand鈥檚 production facility in Croydon, South London.

The company has now broadened that deal to Manchester, where it opened a satellite office in Department Bonded Warehouse in September last year, creating 30 jobs in the process.

Co-founder and CEO Tony Calamita said: "Having completed the successful launch and pilot virtual store on Deliveroo we are delighted to now expand that offering to a wider area.

"This allows our customers to be able to purchase our products in a 'just in time' manner but, most importantly, it continues to expand our brand awareness and visibility across another channel of distribution."

In December, Love Hemp revealed its revenue totalled 拢4.33m for the 12 months to the end of June 2021, up from 拢1.6m.

It also posted a gross profit of 拢1.25m for the period, a rise from 拢960,000.
