Domino’s, the pizza delivery company, has announced the appointment of long-serving employee Kerri Hayman as its new operations director.
Hayman, who was previously deputy operations director, replaces Patricia Thomas, who will take on a new role of executive vice president for special projects in her native America. This will see Thomas liaise between the US and UK to ensure best practice is shared and implemented.
Hayman's experience with Domino’s began in 1988 at Domino’s Pizza Enterprises (DPE) in Australia.
During her time at DPE, she was named International Supervisor of the Year, State Manager of the Year and was a finalist in the Queensland Women in Business - Businesswomen of the Year award.
Chris Moore, Domino’s chief executive, said: “I am delighted to wish Kerri all the best as she takes over as operations director for Domino’s Pizza UK & Ireland.
“Kerri strives for operational excellence and her many accomplishments in providing consistent service, high standards and store profits are admirable. Kerri brings with her an abundance of passion and energy for Domino’s and she is a ‘hands-on’ operator who likes to play an active part in the development and engagement of her team.
“We are very excited to see the results she will bring and the ideas she has to put forward. Her experience and knowledge of the business will be invaluable to us and I can’t think of anyone better to replace Patricia Thomas.”
Hayman said: “This year I will celebrate 23 years with Domino’s and I am very excited to be a part of the largest Domino’s market outside of the USA.
“I am surrounded by a great team and I am excited about the future growth of the company and the part I can play in it.
“My passion lies with the franchisees and their stores and I am looking forward to taking over from Patricia and following in her steps to continue the great work that she has done with Domino’s Pizza operations.”
Hayman starts her new role with immediate effect.
