About

Before McDonald’s

I was in finance spending 12 years completing mergers and acquisitions for a FTSE-listed construction company.

My connection with McDonald’s

McDonald’s is a forward-looking and growth-oriented firm - the technology integration and food innovation are fantastic. Spotting talent and having the power to develop our future leaders is a real privilege.

What inspired me to become a McDonald’s Franchisee

I always wanted a business of my own just as my parents had, and it was actually my father that suggested McDonald’s. After the Franchisee day, I fell completely in love with the idea. McDonald’s were keen to get to know me and see whether I had the right attributes, which gave me the assurance it was the right step for both of us. I was really grateful for the training bursary too.
