We are three weeks into the first Just-Eat.co.uk summer internship programme. It is going fantastically well and we are delighted that the students involved are getting so much out of it. The core concept for us was that we wanted to find 8-10 really bright, enthusiastic and motivated undergrads and bring them into our business for ten weeks. We would provide everything they needed to learn about sales and marketing in a growing internet company.
This is a total win/win and i really think more companies should open themselves up to this kind of programme. In a ever more competitive world and job market – enabling UK students to gain valuable work experience while we as a company benefit from the energy, ideas and future talent spotting opportunity that having the Just-Eat.co.uk Summer Camp has clearly brought us.
Great to have them all on board all be it until the gang return to their uni’s this October.

It was great to hear from our colleague Morten up in Norway today and the news that all the team are fine. All the team here in the UK were really worried about the guys who work for JE in Oslo. I have been lucky enough to go a couple of times and it really is a beautiful peaceful city, just horrible that this has happened to them.
Fingers crossed that things get back to normality as soon as is possible.

Last week on behalf of Just-Eat.co.uk I was interviewed by Declan Curry on BBC Radio Five and BBC News 24 for the show on the money and show me the money.
It is great to see how far we have come the last three years as a business. It is about time that the UK’s independent takeaways had a strong voice and hopefully as a business we can be that voice. People often forget or don’t know that this is a multi billion pound industry and importantly a part of the economy in year on year growth.
On a personal note it was interesting to see how shows like this are put together behind the scenes. The presenters are super slick and teams that put these shows together are well oiled machines. You can certainly see why in terms of production the BBC is spot on.

Last week Just-Eat’s UK Sales Director David Cederholm had his stag do at Chester races and then over to Liverpool for a night out. David has done a super job for us in building the NW region and helping to build the sales team and he had a great night out before his wedding in a few weeks to his long time partner Kate. Good luck DC!
A couple of Just-Eat’s wider team also came from Holland, it was great to see Laurens and Martijn.

He seems a nice lad but contrary to many reports now filtering around the web he never started Just-Eat! Like you we’d never heard of him until the start of this years Apprentice. He came across really well in the show I watched earlier this week, but I am not sure he has the killer instinct you need. That board room u-turn wasn’t strong.
Hopefully he’ll do well, go on to be successful and forfill the main ambition of most people on the apprentice and become a TV presenter.

Last night was a bit of a long night with our son so i found myself surfing around passing the time. I picked this up and really enjoyed watching it so I thought i’d share it with you. Obama really stuck it to Donald Trump, v funny!

All the best people are called David. 
Some recent PR coverage following the immigration cap stuff being banded about. The migrant workforce are critical to the UK restaurant and leisure industry and we need to be really careful about capping people who are helping to drive the growth and success of the UK restaurant sector.

Just-Eat recently bought local takeaway website in India, it is as ever all systems go! This means we will now be operating in a market of more than 1.2 billion people which is pretty big. There is a great local team that will continue to run the company in the market place, Leigh Phillipson (our new sales guru) and I were lucky enough to be there for the launch of the Mumbai market place at the start of March.
Here Leigh and I are with the guys in the office on a Sunday night, running takeaway websites is a 24-7 passion. We did however make time to go and watch the last couple of hours of India v England at the cricket world cup. All work and no play etc…..;-)
On a personal note I loved India, the food and people are lovely. On the down side I did get a little bit of Mumbai belly as did Leigh who came off much worse.
