On the podcast today, we're continuing our exploration of talent management and finding out how Brexit, the pandemic and the cost-of-living crisis has impacted hospitality staffing in the UK.

We speak with Mark McCulloch, marketing guru and Founder of Hospitality Rising to hear how the organisation's multi-layered media campaign is changing the perception of hospitality as a viable career.

We also speak with Jakob Gundersen, Head of UK Operations, Joe & the Juice, and Max Dubiel, Founder, Redemption Roasters to explore how UK operators are finding solutions to the staffing crisis and why developing internally and hiring from often overlooked communities is key to building a talented workforce.
