Skegness man crowned ‘Rookie Manager of the Year’ by Domino's Pizza
A “rookie” fast-food store manager from Skegness has been recognised for his work ethic, skill and community support efforts.
Domino’s Pizza has named Isuru Suraj Munasinghe from the Skegness store as ‘Rookie Manager of the Year’ for 2025 - beating 17 others to claim the title.
He was presented the award at the annual Domino’s Store Awards, which recently took place in London.
Isuru has worked at Domino’s for over four years – but has only been in a manager role for just over one year. He was nominated for the title by his team members who acknowledged that his success was down to his hard work and efforts to invest in his staff.
He also won the Regional Rookie Manager – Europe award at the Worldwide Rally, a global celebration of Domino’s employees.
Celebrating his win, Isuru said: “Being named ‘Rookie Manager of the Year’ is a real privilege. I work with a committed team that takes pride in doing things well, and this recognition belongs to them too. It is a reflection of the dedication and teamwork shown by everyone in the store. My priority is to continue to support the team’s development and ensure we deliver the excellent service customers expect from us.”
Sarah Barron, Chief Commercial & Operating Officer at Domino’s added: “Colleagues such as Isuru are central to what makes Domino’s work. He brings skill, consistency and a genuine willingness to support those around him, and we are pleased to see his efforts recognised. He truly deserves this recognition. Domino’s is fortunate to have talented people like Isuru across our teams who contribute to the brand’s continued success.”
A spokesperson for Domino’s added: “Isuru’s contribution goes beyond the day-to-day running of the Skegness store. He actively engages with the local community through various initiatives and providing support to local schools. With a relentless work ethic and leadership maturity far exceeding expectations for a rookie manager, Isuru is developing future leaders and strengthening the Domino’s brand in the Skegness area.”
The Domino’s Pizza Store Awards is a yearly celebration that recognises and awards the hard work of exceptional individuals, honouring operational excellence, high standards, exemplary service, and strong performance across teams.
