Once joining Nandos, Linda’s says about Nandos “It’s a business about making money and having fun,” . “Our values say it’s okay to make mistakes and try different things. The company has a long history of things that haven’t worked out and things that have worked out successfully. So it’s built on a strong foundation of those values and it’s really made the business what it is today.”

Linda is driven to make a meaningful difference in changing peoples lives and business performance. Growing up in an entrepreneurial home has led me to be persistent (where there is a will there is a way), self motivated(it’s always up to me) and innovative( the world is constantly changing). This can all be done by bringing out the best in people. All my achievements came with some mistakes and each time I learnt from it.
