Will Shu—Received £625K total compensation while riders protested earning as little as £2/hour
In 2023, Will Shu received a £600,000 salary and £625,000 total package while Deliveroo posted a £245.6 million loss. At the AGM in May 2024, riders protested outside with banners reading 'Shame on Shu' chanting 'pay your riders like you should'. One rider of 5+ years said they'd seen 'steady real-term decrease year on year' calling conditions 'soul-destroying'. IWGB president said 'riders are dying chasing pennies whilst the CEO's prime concern is the safety of his £600,000 salary'.
