Chicken chain Wingstop UK has promoted Faye Ryder-Humphries to people director.
She first joined the restaurant brand in April 2022 as people partner, before being promoted to head of people eight months later.
Wingstop said Ryder-Humphries had played a “pivotal role” in strengthening the company’s people strategy during its continued UK expansion.
The food-to-go chain is set to complete what it has described as a “record year of expansion”, with 20 new openings planned by the end of 2025. It currently operates more than 70 sites across the UK.
Overseeing a people team of 19, under Ryder-Humphries' leadership, thousands of people had started, developed and grown their careers at Wingstop UK, according to the brand.
“Faye’s journey with Wingstop UK has been nothing short of inspiring,” said Wingstop UK CEO Chris Sherriff. “Her dedication, passion, and relentless drive to grow – both personally and professionally – have made a lasting impact on our business and our culture.
“This promotion to people director is a true reflection of the commitment she brings every single day, and we couldn’t be prouder to see her take on this role as we continue to grow.”
Ryder-Humphries added: “It is an honour to lead the people function at Wingstop UK, I’m surrounded by an exceptional team whose passion and dedication are the very reason for our success. They continue to serve bold flavour and build meaningful connections in the communities we’re proud to be part of.”
Wingstop currently offers development opportunities to its team of more than 3,000 colleagues, including an end-to-end leadership programme, an apprenticeship programme and the ‘Wingstop University’, which offers specialised training, online modules and learning sessions.
