WHO WE ARE

We are foodorians, a happy gang of food lovers all eager to create the delivery service of the future! For us, innovation and teamwork make up the cornerstone for our success, combined with a shared entrepreneurial spirit. We are currently breaking new grounds in the industry by completely redefining what a delivery service is - therefore, high tempo and flexibility is common, and days never look the same (really!).

We are people from all backgrounds, with different experiences and wildly varied ideas and opinions. This is something we highly value, since we fully believe that diversity is what builds our culture and success. We are proud of being an employer for people from all corners of the world and at the same time distinguish ourselves as one of the fastest growing companies within LMD*!

Sure, growth and success is all fun and games, but let's be clear: it cannot happen at the expense of our sustainability work. Since January 2020 we are a carbon neutral business, not just in Sweden but for our whole European operation. Our goals are ambitious to be leading the way for sustainability within our industry - from supplying 100% electrical transportation to promoting more environmentally friendly food choices, we want to stand for a green future! Are you in?

LMD stands for Last Mile Delivery. That, and many other nerdy abbreviations, is something you'll come to learn when you start. ;)
