Burger King UK receives additional funding from buyout firm—report

The brand plans to open an even split of company-owned and franchised sites.

Burger King UK has reportedly received more funding from Bridgepoint following what the company said was a ‘robust’ trading in 2025, according to several news reports.

Reports revealed that its financial results for last year saw revenues lifted by 7% to £408.3m in 2024. Meanwhile, underlying profits rose by 12% to £26m on the back of “disciplined cost control”

Last 16 June, Alasdair Murdoch, CEO of Burger King, told the QSR Media UK Redcat Conference & Awards 2025 in London that the brand’s multimillion-pound remodelling of as many as 60 branches in the past five years has been paying off with improved customer perception and robust sales growth.

Murdoch said that the brand is planning for steady expansion, targeting 25 to 35 new restaurants annually. These will be evenly split between company-owned sites and those managed by franchise partners.
