Worker shortages
Our people are absolutely essential to the success of hospitality businesses. After all, we're a people first sector. Unfortunately, the entire sector has been struggling with worker shortages for far too long, with vacancies 48% above pre-pandemic levels. Tackling this is a core priority of ours and something we raise with the Government at every opportunity.
