I applied for a job at Roadchef as it was local, I soon realised it was more than just a job, I now train crew members in McDonalds either 1 to 1 or in small groups. I’m happy in my role and love the challenges a fast moving environment brings. If I wanted to progress I could and one of the great things about Roadchef is I could move to the other brands.Christine
