Post-brexit good news: 5000 jobs to be created!!!

[LondonManc]

Given that Brexit is probably bad for any Mutli-National billion dollar corp in direct completion with the now independent London based financial institutes, you'd expect them to keep pushing the 'distroy' button.

Shhhh, that's to logical for Bremoaners to understand and accept.

McDonald's offers post-referendum reassurance with plans for 5,000 jobs

McDonald’s plans to create more than 5,000 new jobs in the UK by the end of 2017, in a vote of confidence in the economy after the EU referendum.

The company will open 250 new restaurants, extend opening hours at existing sites and introduce new initiatives such as table service.

Greg Clark, the business secretary, said the announcement was “great news for the UK economy”. He added: “The government is committed to ensuring businesses have the support they need to thrive and today’s announcement underlines that businesses are confident that the UK remains open for business.”

McDonald’s is pushing ahead with its expansion plans despite Britain voting to leave the EU, which has sparked fears of a slowdown in the economy and businesses pulling investment out of the country. Paul Pomroy, the chief executive of McDonald’s UK, said all of the jobs would be permanent, with full-time and part-time roles.
