KFC UK & Ireland

Five weeks later, and we’re still feeling the impact of RGM Fest! 🔥🎉   Our Restaurant General Managers (RGMs) are the backbone of KFC, and RGM Fest was all about celebrating, inspiring, and empowering them to continue leading with passion. From powerful insights to unforgettable team moments, the energy in the room was next level.   Now, it’s time to relive the magic! 🎥✨ Watch our highlights reel and experience the passion, leadership, and excitement that made this year’s event one to remember.   #LifeAtKFC #RGMFest

Set your watches, the countdown is on…👀🚨 Littering is trashy behaviour. We hate it and we know you do too! That’s why, for the fifth year running, we’re teaming up with Keep Britain Tidy for their annual #GreatBritishSpringClean 🙌 Taking place on Tuesday 1st April, thousands of KFC colleagues from hundreds of restaurants across the UK will be litter picking your local high streets, parks, and beaches, all to help local communities keep their streets clean 🚮 Last year, we collected 20,000 bags of litter, working alongside local litter picking groups, councillors and mayors to help make our communities cleaner across the UK. This year, we’re hoping to go even bigger and better – but we need your help! By making sure you’re picking up your rubbish and leaving spaces as spotless you find them, you’re helping us tackle the nation’s litter problem head on 💪 Check out footage from last year’s litter pick below 👇  #KFCUKI #lifeatKFC #GreatBritishSpringClean

Operations are the heart of KFC. They’re the reason our customers get to enjoy our finger lickin’ good chicken and exceptional service every single day.   From our in-restaurant teams who bring the Colonel’s Original Recipe to life, to the leaders driving customer excellence, risk and compliance, food safety, and more, it takes an army of passionate, bold, and customer-focused individuals to make our brand what it is. We like to think of them as our 12th secret ingredient.   As our COO, Lucy Taylor, shares in the clip below, the opportunities at KFC are endless. With bold ambitions in a rapidly growing business, we’re looking for driven individuals ready to support and unlock potential in our people, build our brand and make a positive impact to our communities.   Check out our latest operations vacancies here ➡️ https://lnkd.in/g7X3i5JK   #KFCUKI #LifeatKFC

2024, it’s a wrap. And what a year it’s been. The last 12 months have been filled with milestones, growth, challenges, highs and lows - but plenty of fun along the way. We cooked. We served. We litter-picked. We marched. We donated. We celebrated. And yes, we even made it onto the Gavin and Stacey Christmas special 🙌 . Through it all, we stayed true to what we believe in: chicken! Here’s to making 2025 even bigger and better. Happy New Year everyone! 🎆 #KFCUKI #LifeatKFC #BelieveInChicken
