ABDUL KHALIQUE BHATTI, a former director at Bestway Holdings Ltd and one of the company's earliest members, has passed away.

Bhatti, a childhood friend of Bestway founder Sir Anwar Pervez, began his career at the company in the late 1970s at the Acton warehouse.


He later served as general manager of the Southall branch before moving to the head office in Park Royal.

During his 40-year tenure, Bhatti held key roles, including director of Bestway Holdings Ltd and trustee of the Bestway Foundation in both the UK and Pakistan.

He retired in 2016 to spend more time with his family in Pakistan.

Bhatti died after a long illness and was buried in his ancestral home in Pakistan over the weekend.

Bestway extended its condolences to his family and friends.

Uber tightens grip on Europe’s food delivery market with Delivery Hero stake

  • Uber raises its holding in Delivery Hero to about 7 per cent.
  • Deal helps Prosus meet EU competition conditions tied to Just Eat takeover.
  • Fresh sign of consolidation across Europe’s food delivery market.

The European food delivery market is starting to look like a game of strategic stakes rather than just customer orders. Uber has picked up a 4.5 per cent stake in Delivery Hero for roughly £235.4 million, buying the shares from Prosus, the owner of Just Eat Takeaway.

This takes Uber’s total holding in the German group to about 7 per cent, building on an earlier $300 million (£222.1 million) investment made in May 2024. The move comes as Uber looks to scale up Uber Eats across Europe, at a time when competition is tightening and margins remain under pressure.
