AN MP took a trip to a fast food outlet to learn about its contribution to the local community.

Stuart Andrew, MP for Pudsey, Horsforth and Aireborough, went to McDonald’s in Guiseley to meet franchisee Pritpal Singh and his team.

Mr Andrew learned about the training and development opportunities available for employees. The local restaurant has recently seen its 11th apprentice complete the company’s Level 2 Apprenticeship programme. The Guiseley outlet is planning to create up to seven jobs this year.

Mr Andrew said: “It was a great pleasure to meet the team and get to know more about how the business operates. It’s always good to see local businesses providing jobs for local people in the area.”
