Before McDonald’s

I began my franchising career at the age of 21 with the purchase of a tools franchise.

My connection with McDonald’s

Like McDonald’s, I’m an ambitious ‘people person’ – I love motivating and developing my team, helping them to do their best.

What inspired me to become a McDonald’s Franchisee

The move appealed to me because it’s one of the world’s biggest brands, instantly recognisable to everyone. The extensive recruitment and training process is unique - you get to experience everything from being a Crew Member, Salaried Manager, and working with an experienced Franchisee. It’s incredible what you learn.

Top insight

It’s a long but very rewarding training process – but this does make it feel even more amazing when you are selected to operate a restaurant yourself.

My growth

It’s fulfilling to play a part in helping Crew Members develop in their roles or pursue management opportunities. It contributes to my personal development, too.
