Papa John's management goes through a shakeup

The shakeup is a bid to drive the continued development and acquisition of new stores opening across the UK.

Papa John's appointed Aman Virk and Matthew Brennan as acquisition managers responsible for finding new sites, while Andy Malthouse, Susan Henley and Sarah Dellow join the project team to oversee the building of new stores.

John Mott, who joined Papa John’s in 2012 as construction and development manager, has been promoted to development director and Phil Gaffer, has been newly appointed as franchise sales and business development manager, responsible for franchisee recruitment as Papa John’s continues to expand throughout the UK.

Papa John’s development director John Mott said, “We currently have 5,000 stores in more than 40 international markets, 350 of these outlets are in the UK and we are heavily focused on further expansion. To manage our planned growth strategy, we have bolstered our team by carefully selecting ambitious individuals for these key appointments who share our core values and passion for the business.

"We are constantly focused on ‘raising the bar’ in every aspect of the franchise. To achieve this, we need the best people. We ensure our staff are trained, committed and accountable to ourselves, our customers and partners. As well as a great business model, these are key ingredients for success. As a result, we are delighted to welcome our new team members who will be instrumental in helping our franchisees to continue to deliver our top-quality product and service day-in, day-out to our growing customer base.”
