John Baron MP serves up a burger at McDonalds, Laindon

MP praises management and staff in this local success story

At the invitation of Gen Isikgun [Franchisee, McDonalds Restaurants Ltd], John Baron MP visited McDonalds, Laindon to meet the team and serve up some burgers.

John said:

“This is a great local success story, so congratulations to Gen and her team. They run five McDonalds across the area which employ 267 people, and do much to encourage apprenticeships and skill development.”

“They also give a lot back to the local community, such as being key drivers behind the Ronald McDonald House at Basildon Hospital which caters for parents of children undergoing treatment, for which they raised £5,000 from my annual Fun Walk.”

“McDonalds has always prided itself on its core values of good value, service and cleanliness, and the belief its people are its most valuable asset. But the business has changed over the last four years, with now a much greater emphasis on healthy eating.”
