Domino’s has appointed interim CEO Nicola Frampton as its permanent CEO “to grow the core business and drive shareholder returns”.
Frampton was appointed interim CEO in November after Andrew Rennie stepped down. Prior to this, Frampton served as chief operating officer for more than four years at the pizza giant.
She joined Domino’s from betting and gaming company William Hill, where she held the role of managing director of UK retail. She currently serves as a non-executive director and Remuneration Committee chair of Frasers Group.
The Domino’s board said that after a comprehensive external and internal search process for a CEO, it determined that Frampton was “the outstanding candidate to lead the company on a permanent basis”.
With the wider leadership team, including Andrew Andrea, who recently joined Domino’s as chief financial officer, Frampton will focus on the strategic priorities outlined in the company’s 2025 trading update earlier this month.
These include the nationwide rollout of the group’s chicken concept Chick ‘N’ Dip, further product innovation, and the development of its loyalty programme.
“I am delighted that Nicola has agreed to become permanent CEO of Domino’s,” said Domino’s chair Ian Bull. “Nicola has led Domino’s extremely effectively as interim CEO, bringing a clear strategic focus and creating strong alignment and positive momentum across our core business.”
Frampton added: “I am honoured to be appointed as CEO of Domino’s, a business that I am incredibly passionate about. As I set out in our recent results, we have a clear strategy for sustainable growth and there is real excitement across the business about the challenges and the opportunities ahead of us.”
Lower volumes in the second half of 2025 pushed down profits for Domino’s, with underlying EBITDA 6.6% lower than in 2024 at £133.9m. Pre-tax profits also declined 35% to £81.1m.
However, Frampton stated that the group had a good finish to the year as business picked up over the Christmas trading period and that the results were in line with expectations.
Speaking of her appointment, Frampton continued: “We have an exceptional brand, a strong market position and a best-in-class leadership team. I look forward to working with the whole Domino’s team, as well as our franchisee partners, to deliver on the core strategic and operational initiatives we have identified.
”We have made a promising start to 2026, and I have strong conviction about Domino’s long-term prospects.”
