Nov 25 (Reuters) - Britain's Domino's Pizza Group

said on Tuesday that its CEO Andrew Rennie had stepped

down, and would be replaced by Chief Operations Officer Nicola

Frampton, on an interim basis.

The move comes at a time when the pizza chain operator is

broadening its focus beyond its core pizzas to drive growth in a

challenging market. Domino's UK is tapping into the fast-growing

market of chicken products and healthier options for pizzas.

The company also named a new finance chief in September,

joining a growing list of global retail companies changing

leaders to better operate in an uncertain economy marred by

tariff troubles and a choppy consumer spending backdrop.

It intends to review its capital allocation priorities

following the arrival of incoming CFO Andrew Andrea.

Earlier this month, Domino's UK warned that weak demand is

likely to weigh on orders into 2026.

The company said its board has commenced a search process to

identify a successor for Rennie and has postponed its December

capital markets day to a later date.
