DOMINO'S PIZZA GROUP PLC
Domino's Pizza Group appoints Chief Financial Officer
Domino's Pizza Group Plc ("Domino's" or "the Group") today announces the appointment of Edward Jamieson as Chief Financial Officer. It is anticipated that Edward will join Domino's and the Board of Directors in October 2022.
Edward brings unrivalled experience as a senior leader in the consumer, digital, and food sectors. He has most recently served as Regional Finance Director UK & Ireland at Just Eat Takeaway plc (Just Eat), successfully leading the business through significant growth and major change over the last four years.
He joined Just Eat as UK Finance Director in 2018 and, in addition to playing a pivotal role in negotiating exclusive supplier arrangements with many high street restaurant brands, Edward also transformed the way Just Eat uses business intelligence and analytics to make data-led decisions. His leadership in this area supported the UK business to grow revenue by circa 300% over the past four years.
Prior to Just Eat, Edward gained multinational experience with senior finance roles in prominent, consumer-facing, digitally led businesses, including Amazon and Diageo. He also led an international finance team at Aggreko Plc where he gained significant commercial and operational experience.
Edward will replace the current interim Chief Financial Officer, David Surdeau, who joined Domino's in November 2021.
Matt Shattock, Chairman, said: "We are delighted to have attracted a CFO of Edward's calibre to Domino's. He brings a great blend of senior financial experience and a background in big consumer, digitally led brands which is exactly what we need to continue growing the Domino's business. With Edward further strengthening our excellent Leadership Team, and a clear strategy for the future in place, I'm confident we can continue to deliver strong results, delight our customers, and support our world-class franchisees. I'd also like to thank David Surdeau for his great commitment and support during his time as interim CFO. David will be with us until November to ensure an orderly transition."
Edward Jamieson said: "I am excited to be joining Domino's, which is an iconic brand, much-loved by customers, with lots of potential for continued growth. I look forward to getting started, working with the Board, and supporting the Leadership Team to grow the business and ensure Domino's continues to deliver for customers, colleagues, franchisees, and shareholders."
No information is required to be disclosed pursuant to Listing Rule 9.6.13R in respect of Mr Jamieson's appointment.
