Getir has partnered with Uber to enable customers in several European countries to order around 2,000 grocery items through the Uber Eats app.

The rapid grocery delivery service said the scheme has launched in the UK and will be rolled out to other European countries in the coming weeks.

Orders will be fulfilled by Getir couriers and deliveries will be made in minutes, it said.

Getir added that Uber Eats customers will have the option to shop from Gorillas stores in the near future. Getir acquired its rival late last year for a reported $1 billion.

Turancan Salur, Getir’s regional general manager, said: “As the pioneer of ultrafast grocery delivery, we are excited to offer a new way for customers to access our products and experience our unparalleled quick commerce service.”

He added: “This partnership between two strong and well-known international brands brings great advantages to Uber Eats customers, who now have the option to choose from Getir’s wide range of grocery and convenience products. At the same time, Getir benefits from accessing Uber Eats' large pool of customers, further contributing to its growth.”

Last month, Getir announced it was cutting its global workforce by 11 per cent. The company has also announced exits from Italy, Spain and Portugal, citing a refocus of “financial resources on existing markets.”
