Karen Forrester

CEO · T.G.I Friday’s UK · company speakers →

Voted ‘Most People-Focused CEO’ at the HR Excellence Awards in 2013, as the CEO of T.G.I Friday’s UK, Forrester is widely credited with the revival of the brand over the last six years (she joined the company as managing director in 2007). By investing heavily in her team members and their training, to ensure guests receive the best possible experience, and embracing new growth opportunities, the number of restaurants in the American-themed chain has grown from 46 to its current 61 (despite the recession). A further 60 outlets are planned by 2020.
