In 1952 Colonel Harland Sanders opened the first KFC restaurant in Utah. Since then, his perfectly crafted Original Recipe chicken and its secret recipe of 11 herbs and spices has become famous all over the world, and today we have over 900 restaurants across the UK and Ireland. The Colonel was all about doing things the right way. That means our chicken is delivered fresh from farm to restaurant in 48 hours. It’s prepared carefully by hand in-restaurant by trained cooks, using the very best chicken reared to strict welfare standards. But we’re not just about the chicken (although ours is always Finger Lickin’ Good). We’re also about making a positive social and environmental impact – which includes becoming a net-zero business, helping people get a foot on the work ladder, caring for our communities, and offering balanced food choices. At KFC, there’s more Behind the Bucket than you think. KFC came to the UK in 1965, opening our first restaurant in Preston. Today, we are a £1 billion+ company with 960 restaurants and 28,000+ team members. KFC is one of 5 brands operated by parent company Yum!, the world’s largest restaurant group with over 50,000 restaurants across the globe. Despite being a large, global organisation, we operate under a de-centralised structure with our UK business having autonomy over business/people strategy. KFC is famous around the world for its Original Recipe Fried Chicken – but there’s more behind the bucket than you think. We like to think of ourselves as a ‘people business’, that just happens to sell chicken and chips. We believe in doing things ‘the right way’. It isn’t always easy, but it’s always better. It’s what the Colonel believed back in 1952, and it’s what we still believe in now. In not cutting corners. In hand-breading our chicken in store, all day, every day. In caring about the food we serve, and the people we serve it too. And most importantly, in looking after our people. The Colonel’s story still inspires us today. It reminds us how grit, perseverance, dedication and ambition, along with hard work, can create success; regardless of your age or where you come from. We believe our purpose as an employer is to help our people find their own ‘secret recipe’ in life. We empower people to be their best self, make a difference and have fun.

PERi-PERi is the heart and soul of Nando’s. Its story is our story. For centuries the people of Southeast Africa have used PERi-PERi to bring fire to their food. It is in Mozambique’s rich soil and blistering sunshine that the African Bird’s Eye Chilli grows into its fiery best. When Portuguese explorers arrived there, they were enchanted by its flavour. They added a squeeze of lemon and a kick of garlic and turned PERi-PERi into a very well-travelled spice. Which is how, many years later it ended up in Rosettenville, Johannesburg. One afternoon in 1987, two friends went for lunch at a humble Portuguese eatery. As their meal drew to a close, they knew they’d tasted something that had to be shared. PERi-PERi was about to make one more journey – from Rosettenville to the world.
