Jane Blackwell

Previously a successful business owner

Franchisee since 2013

From Police Constable to Postmaster to Business Owner for six years - I did a lot of things before this. Now, I get the satisfaction of working with and mentoring great people every day. They care because I care and that speaks volumes in my restaurant.

Gian Chahal

Previously a Police Inspector

Franchisee since 2015

The support and training on offer helped me go from Police Inspector to Franchisee and now I serve the community in a different but no less rewarding way. With the help and support of a global brand, I can really make an impact locally. That’s the best thing about being a Franchisee.

Sarah Lloyd

Previously owned another Franchise

Franchisee since 2017

I’d run my own Franchise before, but it was the support at McDonald’s that made all the difference to me. I’ve got access to a Franchise Consultant who I’m always bouncing ideas off. If I need any advice about my business, there’s always someone I can speak to, which means I can focus on making my business as successful as I can.
