In this episode, Michael talks with Greg from 'Only A Pavement Away,' a charity co-founded by Greg and his wife, Jill, to help disadvantaged individuals secure employment in the hospitality sector. Greg shares the story behind the charity's inception and its significant impact, having placed over 800 people into jobs and added £32 million to the economy since its launch in 2018. The discussion covers their process of preparing candidates, the role of relationship managers, and the ultimate goal of expanding their reach across the UK. Greg emphasizes the importance of building quality relationships and offers insights into the challenges and successes they've faced. He also highlights the critical need for funding to continue their mission of transforming lives through meaningful employment.
