The Restaurant Group CEO Andy Hornby said: “These management changes are the result of carefully managed succession planning.

“I would particularly like to thank Kirk for his huge efforts over the past five years. TRG is a very different business from when he joined in 2018.

“He was instrumental both in the acquisition and successful integration of Wagamama and in supporting the business as it successfully navigated the Covid-19 pandemic. We wish him all the very best for the future.”

TRG has also named Jonathan Knight as the new CEO of Leisure and Concessions. He will assume the new role on 1 July 2023 and will be reporting directly to Andy Hornby.
