The boss of Just Eat Takeaway saw his pay for the past year jump by more than half as sales rocketed.

Billionaire Jitse Groen, 42, was handed £970,000 for the year to December, a 57.9 per cent increase on his £617,000 remuneration for 2019.

The rise came after Just Eat completed its £6.2billion merger with European delivery rival Takeaway at the start of 2020.

Last week, the group reported earnings of £219million for 2020. It said UK orders jumped 35 per cent over the year.
