Across the UK and ROI, a 12 further stores opened in this quarter.

In addition to the results, Elias Diaz Sese - previously Northern Europe managing director at Kraft Heinz - has been appointed as an additional non-executive director, with effect from today (October 17).

David Wild, Domino’s chief executive officer, commented on the results: “We delivered a solid performance in our core UK and Ireland markets, with system sales up 3.9 per cent, against a market backdrop that remains challenging.

“Normal working practices continue to be impacted by our franchisee dispute. As we said at our interim results, this situation is complex and we expect a resolution to take time, certainly into 2020.”
