Since launching in the UK in London last year, Getir has already grown its workforce to more than 4,000, and has promised its new hires will be bought on as full-time employees and paid the real living wage. 

The rapid delivery giant has pledged to invest £100m into its UK business this year, in a bid to head off rivals such as Gorillas and Gopuff, which are also looking to ramp up operations in the wake of the pandemic.
