Havas already works with food and drink brands including Greggs, Asda and Kelloggs.

Havas PR UK’s managing director, Brian Beech, said: “Deliveroo is taking something ordinary like food delivery and improving it through a selective affiliation with high quality restaurants, providing their only delivery option.

“The business is making an investment in PR support as part of a wider campaign to raise awareness of the expanding delivery service. It’s a really exciting contract for Havas to win, in an area where we have strong credentials.”

The agency team will report into head of PR for Deliveroo, Kate Thomas.

“Havas has a great understanding of the Deliveroo brand and I can’t wait to see them deliver results for us across the UK,” she said.

Havas PR UK has offices in Manchester, Edinburgh and London.
