Atul Pathak
MD of Appt Corporation trading as McDonald’s
UK
It is 12 years since Atul Pathak became a McDonald’s franchisee and opened his first restaurant in Hanwell. Today, he heads up the Appt Corporation, owning and running a chain of 26 McDonald’s which stretch from Maidenhead and Bracknell, to Finchley and Richmond. Still ambitious, he dedicates a considerable amount of his time and money to community and charity ventures and says he has never forgotten his humble beginnings.
