Having founded Carluccios with Antonio Carluccio in 1999, after 17 years of building the brand to over 100 stores in the UK and internationally, Simon Kossoff will step down as Chairman with effect from 31 July.
Owner Renuka Jagtiani said, ”Simon has been integral to the success of Carluccio’s since its inception in 1999; guiding its growth and development from start up to one of the country’s leading restaurant brands. We want to wish him the very best for the future, he will be missed by the whole team.”
Simon Kossoff said, “It’s been a fantastic journey and I am desperately proud of the team and what they have achieved. However, after 17 years it really is time to let our CEO Neil Wickers take it forward and for me to focus on other things.”
