Nicola Frampton appointed CEO of Domino's Pizza

Nicola Frampton has secured the permanent position of CEO of Domino’s Pizza.

The chief operating officer stepped into the role of interim CEO in November 2025 when chief executive Andrew Rennie stepped down amid a wider shift in strategy for the brand.

Frampton has served as COO for more than four years having joined Domino’s from William Hill where she was MD of UK retail. She currently sits on the board of Frasers Group as a non-executive director.

Alongside the new chief financial officer, Andrew Andrea, Frampton will focus on driving the company’s strategic priorities outlined earlier in the month, which include driving revenue, improving operational efficiency and cost control and expanding customer reach.

Last year Domino’s expanded its offer to sell more fried chicken as well as pizza in a bid to boost flagging sales. It trialled a Chick ‘N’ Dip offer of wings, tenders and boneless bites across 187 stores in England and Ireland before rolling it out nationwide last month.

Ian Bull, chair of Domino’s Pizza Group, said: “I am delighted that Nicola has agreed to become permanent CEO of Domino’s. Having undertaken a thorough assessment of both internal and external candidates, the board is clear that Nicola is the outstanding candidate to lead the business forward, drawing on her deep operational expertise and strong leadership attributes. 

“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. The board is confident that under Nicola’s leadership, Domino’s is well-placed to execute on our strategy to grow the core business and drive shareholder returns.”

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.  

“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.”
