Taipei, April 6 (CNA) British online food delivery company Deliveroo announced Monday that it will cease its operations in Taiwan from 3 p.m., April 10, as it plans to relocate its corporate resources around the world.

In a statement, the company said it decided to withdraw from the Taiwan market because it wants to concentrate on Europe, the Middle East and other parts of the Asia-Pacific region, but added that it will not rule out returning to Taiwan in the future.

"The company has made sure to offer its nearly 1,500 food deliverers and staff appropriate compensation, which is better than what is required by law," Deliveroo said.

If customers still have money in their Deliveroo accounts, they shall receive refunds in three to five business days after April 10, the company added.    [FULL  STORY]
