IN BRIEF

Food delivery firm Deliveroo saw sales soar last year, but losses ballooned. Revenues rose 116% to £277million, however losses widened from £129.1m in 2016 to £184.7m because of money pumped into “major investments”.

Households took on £1.1billion in everyday debt in August – almost half on credit cards. Brits owe £214bn in all types of consumer loans, excluding mortgages. But the annual rate of growth slowed to a three-year low of 8.1%, the Bank of England said.

Luxury car maker Aston Martin has cut what it reckons its shares will sell for in its forthcoming stock market listing to between £17.50 and £22.50 each, down from £18.50 and £20 previously.
