Domino’s delivers 8,000 jobs in UK and Ireland

US pizza delivery giant Domino’s unveiled plans Thursday to create 8,000 new jobs in the UK and Ireland after a strong pandemic performance.

The group’s British-based division added in a statement that it had thrived despite the ongoing supply chain crunch, high inflation and a challenging labour market.

Domino’s noted, however, that supply chain issues and rising wages were starting to impact the business, adding that labour availability and food cost pressures were set to extend into next year.

“While we see these pressures continuing into 2022, our success in managing them to date provides us with confidence that our growth momentum will be sustained,” said chief executive Dominic Paul.
