Tie-ups with retailers such as B&Q, Screwfix and Ann Summers have helped Deliveroo to raise its profit forecast, after the food delivery group recorded a strong uptick in orders. The FTSE 250 firm, which debuted on the London Stock Exchange in 2021, told shareholders that adjusted underlying profit for the year to 31 December is likely to come in at the upper end of its £110 million to £130 million guidance.
