Fully Halal Oodles Chinese appoints two new directors to help the Indo-Chinese concept hit 100 sites by 2025

Oodles founder and chief executive, Mohammed Shoyab Umar, has appointed Ian Jeffery as commercial and global director and Simon Robinson as operations director.

“We are delighted to welcome both Ian and Simon to the Oodles team, as they bring a wealth of industry experience and knowledge to the brand,” Mohammed said.

Jeffrey, who was recently head of global development at Chicken Cottage, will be responsible for leading Oodles’ business development and franchise recruitment in the UK and abroad.

While Robinson, who has worked with German Doner Kebab and Heavenly Desserts, is to oversee all operational elements of the business.

Mohammed added: “Their expertise will be invaluable to the Oodles network by providing franchise partners with ongoing business support and delivering operational efficiency, as well as achieving our ambitious plan to grow and develop the network to at least 100 stores by 2025.”

Founded in 2010, Oodles opened its 35th branch last month in Peterborough’s Bridge Street.
