Just a matter of days after a half-year results statement that declared all of its European outposts had turned a profit, Just Eat (JE.) announced the sale of its Benelux business.

The company has sold its operation there to Takeaway.com for an enterprise value of €22.5m (£19m), payable in cash. Mr Buttress insisted that Just Eat remained the leader in each of its 12 remaining markets.
