Wingstop bolsters top team, snaps up former Burger King finance boss

Alistair Fraser has joined Wingstop UK & Ireland as finance director.

Fraser, who was most recently led the finance function of Burger King’s master franchise in the UK, is the latest in a host of top team appointments for Wingstop.

The food-to-go specialist appointed Wagamama’s chief marketing and commercial officer Emma Colquhoun as chief growth officer last month, alongside Dirujan Sabesan as its first-ever chief brand officer.

Fraser, who has previously held senior leadership roles at Whitbread, Ocado, will oversee Wingstop’s finance function in his new role.

Fraser said: “I’m thrilled to be joining the Wingstop UKI team at such an exciting moment in its growth journey. The brand is truly market leading, with an incredible culture and one of the most loyal fan bases in the industry.

“I look forward to leveraging my experience to help shape and deliver the strategic priorities, continued growth and long-term success across the UK and Ireland.”

Wingstop UKI chief financial officer Paddy Bamford said: “Alistair brings an outstanding track record to the team, and his expertise and strategic insight will be invaluable as we continue to grow and bring flavour to new communities in the UK and Ireland.”
