Lima is home to one of 22 Crew Persons of the Year. Ted Boyd, of the N. West St. McDonald’s in Lima,  recently received the Crew Person of the Year Award, an annual performance-based award that recognizes the top performing crew in McDonald’s company-owned or independently-owned and operated restaurants. This award was established to honor hardworking crew employees—those who make founder Ray Kroc’s vision of excellence come to life in restaurants and for customers each day.

The Crew Person of the Year Award honors the top crew employees in each of McDonald’s 22 regions across the United States. Established in 2002, the award spotlights the contributions crew employees make to McDonald’s business of delivering exceptional customer satisfaction.

Ted was chosen this year to receive the Crew Person of the Year Award for the Ohio Region, an honor that comes with a cash prize, plaque, pin, and more.

“I’m just glad to work for such a great company. I love what I do,” said Boyd. “I’ve always wanted to work for McDonald’s.”

“We are thrilled to honor Ted with the Crew Person of the Year Award,” said local McDonald’s owner/operator Jerry Lewis. Ted has worked at the N. West St. McDonald’s in Lima,  since its grand reopening in 2007. “He continuously provides exceptional customer service to guests and truly is a shining example of the best of McDonald’s,” said Lewis.
