Domino’s appoints non-exec director

Domino’s Pizza Group has recently announced the appointment of Mitesh Patel as an independent non-executive director, with effect from 1 June. 

Patel will be a member of the board’s nomination and governance committee.

He is the co-founder of Lenstore, an online contact lens business which in 2013 he sold to GrandVision, the world’s largest optical retail group at the time and owner of Vision Express. 

Following the sale, Mitesh remained with GrandVision in various roles, including as global e-commerce director, until 2023, gaining substantial experience of working at a senior level in a franchise-based business.

He also has highly relevant non-executive experience as a director of Pizza Hut UK Limited from 2018 to 2020, and he has also been a trustee of Oxfam since 2022, bringing significant retail and digital expertise to its board.

Chairman Matt Shattock said: “I am delighted to welcome Mitesh to the board of Domino’s. We are a business built on a network of highly entrepreneurial franchise partners, and, as a brilliant entrepreneur himself with significant expertise of working in franchise businesses, I am sure Mitesh will be a great addition to our board.”
