Dec 30 (Reuters) - DP Poland DPP.L , the operator of
Domino's pizza stores and restaurants across Poland and Croatia,
on Friday named former chief executive officer of the pizza
chain in UK, David Wild, as the company's chairman.
Wild, 67, who helmed Domino's Pizza Group Plc DOM.L for
five years before retiring in 2019 was also the top boss of bike
and motor parts retailer Halfords HFD.L for about four years
until 2012.
"I am delighted to have the opportunity to play a role in
driving the future success of the business, blending my prior
experiences in Domino's and Poland to drive value for all
stakeholders," Wild said in a statement.
Wild succeeds Nick Donaldson, 69, who will retire on Dec. 31
after twelve years as chairman of the company.
DP Poland, the Polish master franchisee for U.S-based
Domino's Pizza Inc DPZ.N , holds rights to develop and
sub-franchise its pizza stores in Poland and Croatia. It
currently has more than 120 stores across the region.
The company's non-executive director, Przemyslaw Glebocki,
has been appointed as interim chair until Wild takes over in
early 2023.
