Marcel Khan to leave The Fulham Shore

Marcel Khan, CEO of The Fulham Shore, is set to leave the business, following the overseeing of a major restructuring of the Franco Manca brand owner.

Khan, who joined The Fulham Shore at the beginning of 2024, previously held leadership roles at Nando's, Five Guys and Thunderbird Chicken. 

At The Fulham Shore, he recently navigated the business through the sale of Greek restaurant brand The Real Greek to the Karali Group, which also acquired the 70-strong Côte portfolio last year.

In April 2026, The Fulham Shore confirmed it was undertaking a company voluntary arrangement (CVA) for its high street pizza brand Franco Manca, resulting in 16 site closures across the portfolio.

“It has been a privilege to lead Fulham Shore through such an important period for the business," says Khan. "I’m hugely proud of the teams across Franco Manca, The Real Greek and the wider group for the resilience, energy and commitment they’ve shown throughout a demanding period.

"When I joined, the business faced significant structural challenges. Together, we brought back focus, rebuilt momentum and helped put the business on a stronger footing for the future. I genuinely believe the business now has real momentum and significant wind in its sails for the years ahead."

It has been reported that, for now, Colin Berry, The Fulham Shore's CFO, will oversee Franco Manca.
