From Zimbabwe to Australia: Roz’s Nando’s Journey

Meet Roz – a true people leader whose Nando’s story spans three continents. Born and raised in Zimbabwe, she moved to the UK at 18 and joined Nando’s in 2010. Within six months she was a Restaurant Manager, later becoming a Partner and Mentor, training and inspiring countless Nandocas along the way.

After 20 years in the UK, Roz took another leap – moving to Australia in 2017, sponsored by Nando’s. Since then, she’s been promoted to Area Manager, become a Partner for the ANZ region, and even won the Life and Soul Award in 2020.

What makes Nando’s special for Roz? “It’s always been about the people. I love how everyone is welcome at our table. No matter where you are in the world, we all speak the same Nando’s language – linked by our values and culture.”

Known as the Queen of snacks, Roz brings energy, fairness, and fun to her teams – whether it’s a Friday night takeover or trivia at a team meeting. She’s passionate about growing and supporting others, with work-life balance always front and centre.

And her go-to order? ¼ BBQ & Hot chicken with garden salad and a Berry Rubro (plus chicken salt chips at least once a week!).
