Our take
Launched by the Founder of Depop, Simon Beckerman, Delli is food and drink marketplace with an aim to make good food accessible and enjoyed by all. Central to this goal is building a community of passionate food and drink purveyors who can champion a more conscious choice around where and how we consume.
For many, the time spent in lockdown has accelerated a wider change in purchasing behaviour. More of us are buying locally, reducing waste and supporting producers that are trying to make a real difference, recognising our responsibilities to our environment and our own health. Delli want to support this desire to eat better by making it more convenient and more fun.
Since launching in the early 2022, Delli is just starting to gain a footing in the London's food enthusiasts' space.
