Last month, we gathered c.1200 colleagues from every corner of our business for ‘The Pet Care Conference 2023’ at Butlin's Resort in Bognor Regis. We’re one big family, so, for the first time, we came together as one. Our Retail, Veterinary, Grooming, Support Office and Foundation representatives were able to come together like they never have before. And what an incredible opportunity to showcase our new brand identity, as we reinforce ourselves as the one-stop destination for all pet care needs. Our fantastic leadership team ran through business updates and objectives and we heard from some inspiring and thought-provoking keynote speakers. Colleague awards were also presented to celebrate exceptional levels of service and expertise, and to individuals and teams for going above and beyond to make a difference to pets, people and the planet. A huge thank you to the Butlin's Resort team, our conference speakers and presenters, supplier partners, and of course all our fantastic colleagues and partners!

Nando's UK & IRE

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.
