Behind bars - is prison the answer to the pub employment challenge?

Lock In podcast, sponsored by Sky Business (Ed Bedington)

The Lock In gets locked in as we go behind bars to investigate the opportunties the hospitality sector offers to rehabilitate offenders.

With a number of schemes offering opportunities in hospitality for a second chance, we speak to a range of great guests to get their insight into how pubs can fill their workforce.

Todd Lockley from Marston’s discusses the work his company has done to create kitchen training facilities in pubs to emulate the pub environment - we’ll gloss over the fact he’s nicked our name for the facility, The Lock Inn.

Darren Burns from Timpson’s is on to talk about the excellent and pioneering work his company is doing in this space, and Graham Briggs from Greene King discusses his company’s Releasing Potential programme.

And we catch up with the legendary Greg Mangham from Only a Pavement Away to find out how pubs can get on board.

All this and Heath reveals a huge twist at the end of the podcast!
