The last grocery delivery player standing, Milkrun, is making 20 per cent of its staff redundant as part of a move to consolidate its delivery hubs.
The shakeup follows the collapse of its competitors Voly, Send and Quicko throughout 2022.

Voly – the most recent casualty to the tech correction – collapsed in November, having burnt through $13 million in 12 months.
Milkrun staff were being told of the changes on Wednesday morning and were offered ongoing access to counselling and wellbeing services, in addition to their statutory payments and ex-gratia payments.
“With economic and market conditions changing rapidly, we need to get ahead of the curve and evolve the way we operate to fit the current environment and extend our runway,” Milkrun founder and chief executive Dany Milham said in a message to staff seen by The Australian Financial Review.
