The chief executive of Jamie Oliver's restaurant group has left the company.
Jonathan Knight has departed the company following its administration in May and the closure of all but three branches.
Mr Knight previously worked in Dubai, taking retail franchises to the region.
He joined the restaurant business as managing director of international in 2016 and became CEO in 2017.
Last week the remaining Jamie Oliver restaurant sites at Gatwick Airport were sold to travel hospitality specialist SSP, which already operates a portfolio of international Jamie's Italian outlets.

Monsoon Accessorize has become the latest high street chain to launch a major restructuring as bosses asked landlords for a cut in rents on more than half its stores.
The company confirmed that accountancy giant Deloitte has been appointed to run a Company Voluntary Arrangement (CVA) - similar to Arcadia, which secured backing from landlords earlier this month to cut its own rents.
A CVA is a form of restructuring that companies use to avoid going bust, but there has been controversy, with landlords claiming retailers are misusing them to cut their costs.
Monsoon is calling for rent reductions on 135 sites out of 258 across the country.
It said: "The current rent and occupancy costs facing the group are now unaffordable given the fundamental changes that have taken place in the retail sector, and a significant number of stores are delivering a negative contribution as a result.
"The companies therefore need to reduce the costs of their store portfolios to ensure their ongoing viability. No store closures are currently planned within these proposals."
Bosses also revealed that credit insurance has been removed - meaning Monsoon must pay suppliers upfront, with insurers unwilling to cover the costs of any non-payments.
Halfords bosses lost out on bonuses last year as the company's annual profits missed targets.
The retailer's chief executive, Graham Stapleton, and chief financial officer, Loraine Woodhouse, were awarded no extra payouts after pre-tax profits failed to meet a set threshold, according to the company's annual report.
Underlying profit before tax for the year to March 29 dropped 17.9% to £58.8 million, falling well short of a £69 million goal.
It marks a significant cut in earnings for Mr Stapleton, who last year took home a bonus as well as several payouts to compensate for rewards he missed out on by leaving Dixons Carphone.
His total award this year is £642,117, less than half the £1.82 million he collected last year.
Last month Halfords warned that its new strategy would take longer than planned to implement, due to a weaker consumer environment.
