German Doner Kebab seeks project management head for growth strategy

The chain boasts a development pipeline of 350 franchise units over the next seven years.

Fast casual brand German Doner Kebab is looking to appoint an experienced head of project Management to support its growth strategy throughout the UK.

The role will be responsible for the delivery of new restaurant fit-outs, liaising with contractors and consultants to meet brand standards and launch schedules.

He or she will also be charged with building and maintaining close relationships with German Doner Kebab’s multi-unit franchise partners.

Now employing over 1,000 people throughout the country, the brand has opened 35 new restaurants in the UK during the past four years and has a development pipeline of 350 franchise units over the next seven years.

“We have developed a strong growth pipeline with some of the UK’s most established franchise entrepreneurs, and we are now working closely with them to identify new sites and respond to the growing consumer demand across the UK,” German Doner Kebab CEO Imran Sayeed said.

German Doner Kebab also operates franchised stores in Sweden, Dubai, Abu-Dhabi, Oman and Bahrain.

The chain is also expanding into Saudi Arabia, with Ajlan and Brothers Group as master franchisee with a development agreement of 100 stores over the next ten years.

Further growth has also been announced in North America, as franchises have been signed in Canada’s Ontario and British Columbia provinces, whilst negotiations are underway to open outlets in New York’s Manhattan and New Jersey.
