FOOD delivery service Deliveroo is launching in Warrington next month and is on the lookout for riders.

Deliveroo is appealing to bicycle, scooter or motorbike riders to deliver food from restaurants across the town, cooked fresh to order and delivered to customers in as little as 15 minutes.

The ever-growing UK Deliveroo team are looking for residents who enjoy cycling as a hobby or individuals who are looking for a way to keep fit, with the added benefit of making some extra money.

New riders are automatically enrolled in a first-of-its-kind free insurance package to ensure all are covered while out on the road.

Dan Warne, managing director of Deliveroo in UK and Ireland, said: “We’ve seen a huge demand for Deliveroo in Warrington and we’re excited to be launching this month; we’re really excited to be creating new work opportunities for people.
