Delivery specialist Just Eat Takeaway has ramped up its recruitment of skilled technical staff in the UK, despite recently laying off 1,700 couriers amid a downturn in orders. Jitse Groen, Just Eat's chief executive, said: "We are net adding employees in the UK. In some areas, we're actually adding staff — a lot of tech staff — in London and Bristol, as well as a new call centre in Sunderland."
