Hall has been key to McDonald’s sports programme, which includes the Olympics and a number of community football programmes. He joined when he was 16 years old as a “crew” member and was promoted to trainee manager at the age of 25.
Hall held a variety of roles in operations before joining regional communications in 1999. He was appointed as the fast food chain’s first head of sponsorship in 2001.
