About
- I jointly started the UK operation of Just-Eat.co.uk in March 2006 as Sales Director. I have led large scale sales teams in a corporate as well as start up sales environment, developing and implementing successful sales strategies in highly competitive markets.
- During the last 3 years I have led a team that has now grown to 50 people in the UK operation of Just-Eat.co.uk and established myself as an authority in the UK quick service restaurant sector.
- Prior to Just-Eat.co.uk I worked at Coca-Cola Enterprises for 8 years in a wide variety of commercial sales roles including the UK restaurant channel.
- I joined Coca-Cola directly from university where I obtained a Law & Business Degree (found the Law part of my degree a bit dull, I should have studied Geography and Politics!), in 2004 I received the Account Manager of the Year award for my work in the UK restaurant channel principally for the work I did with Nando’s and Pret A Manger.
- I have extensive experience in leading strategic, operational and commercial implementation in tough environments.

Its great to know something more about you, David. I have seen how you make it and keep it going since I join Just-Eat. Every day I feel I am growing as Just-Eat grows ervery day. Its a really fantastic feeling and I think that is just what life all about. Its my honor to be a member of Just-Eat.
Brilliant!
David, it was a great pleasure meeting you today. Regardless of outcome, I think your concept and approach will succeed in the Canadian market and that success is not far behind. I thank you once again for your insight and hospitality!
P.S. Does my name have to be David to work there?

Likewise Roc, it was great to meet you!
now block me cant other order ??? can you help me
I thought that I would personally contact you. As each time I make comments about Just Eat I never get a response, you will note that I am a new customer. At 1st I was very impressed with your concept. But I have doubts if I shall continue my custom with your company. This is not the 1st time that I’ve had poor service. I realise that you only process the orders on behalf of the takeaway, but sustainable continuation of poor standards will reflect on your overall reputation.
Even though customers are asked to review orders, I guess that these comments are not even looked at by the companies that sign up to use your service.
Tonight ,I placed an order, number 3631364. The product was not as described. 1 piece of tandoori chicken even though the menu says 2. Also, the pappadams were missing. Disappointing !!!
Come on!!!

Hi Shaun
Thanks for your mail and my sincere apologies for the experience you encountered, it is not the experience we want any of our customers to have.
I can promise you the reviews are taken very seriously by both the restaurants and other users. As a business we are also commited to profiling them more and more and we are currently developing a algorythm that will rank the restaurants in every postcode in the UK from top to bottom according to several dimensions of which the quality of their reviews will be critical.
I will look into the orders for you and come back with a appropriate response. Thanks again for taking the time to write to me.
I am a very unhappy customer. Tonight I don’t eat as the take away is ‘too busy’ to deliver, and my last few quid is in cyberspace for a week. YOU take the money before I get the ok on delivery! BAD Practice. The other day another Take-away phoned me up telling me they wanted £1 delivery ontop of the payment as I lived too far from them. What happened to trades descriton? I will not use this SLOPPY service again|!
