Mike, the new senior director of marketing for the GDK UK and Europe division, is an award winning marketing director with over 25 years of global, regional and local commercial experience.
He’s worked for multinational companies in the FMCG and food service sector, including Subway and Diageo.

“Mike is a strategic thinker and has the knowledge and wisdom to drive our business forward.
“Likewise, Georgina has a wealth of fast-casual dining and start-up experience.
“They both will be instrumental in driving marketing initiatives across our network and will further reinforce GDK as a brand of the future.”
