The Annual McDonald’s UK & Ireland Supply Chain Conference took place in Wembley in November. McDonald’s UK and Ireland leadership team members were in attendance along with franchisees and suppliers.

We were delighted to have our very own Mary Evans recognised with the “Outstanding Contribution of the Year” award for her diligence and dedication to excellence in her on-going work with the McDonald’s Supply Chain team on behalf of Dawn. Through proactive and timely communication with the QA team and the sharing of best practice and collaboration with other suppliers, Mary exemplified the essence of what McDonald’s require by way of supplier self-managed excellence.

Paula Pearse QA Consultant with McDonald’s commented “If I don’t hear anything from Mary for a while I have every confidence that everything necessary is going on in the background. She always keeps me in the loop on discussions with other departments and makes a point of making sure she picks up the phone immediately if there are any concerns. A great attention to detail, very organised and methodical while consistently delivering fantastic work”
