MEMBER in Uttoxeter

Have you got what it takes to be the Colonel’s next apprentice? A warm southern welcome to Kentucky Fried Chicken. Our world-famous chicken restaurant brand all started with one cook, Colonel Harland Sanders, who created a finger lickin’ good recipe more than 75 years ago. He started travelling by car to different restaurants and cooked his fried chicken on the spot for restaurant owners. Legend has it that Colonel Sanders heard 1009 “No’s” before he heard his first yes. 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.

Our purpose as an employer is to empower our people to find their own secret recipe in life too.

OUR RESTAURANT CULTURE

It’s our ‘other’ secret. The Colonel has taught us that there is a Right Way to do things. We lead with the heart and we care hard about making our team members feel part of the family and have fun while we are at it. We’re a people business that happens to serve chicken and chips. We care hard about you, your development and your journey with us. In return we’ll ask you to roll up your sleeves, get stuck in and treat our guests as family.

• Be Your Best Self: Learn and grow through on the job training.
