UK workers over 50: share your experience of being a food courier

We're interested to hear from people aged 50 and over in the UK about what it's like to work as couriers for delivery companies such as Deliveroo

Over-50s looking for work in the UK should consider delivering takeaways and other flexible jobs typically occupied by younger people, the work and pensions secretary, Mel Stride, has said.

Stride made the comments during a visit to the London headquarters of the food delivery firm Deliveroo, which has recorded a 62% increase in riders aged over 50 since 2021.
