The restaurateurs will open six new sites nationally, the first to open coming in Leeds in March and the second in Glasgow in August, with the other four destinations as yet unconfirmed.

This move will create around 600 jobs and 25 management positions, with recruitment set to be directed through the company’s dedicated hiring website fridoids.co.uk.
