"We’ve had quite big issues with recruitment," he said."A large part of that is Brexit and Covid, a lot of people going home and not coming back.He continued: "Before you would have been able to take your pick from the point of view of quality and previous experience so there has been a lot learnt in the last 12 to 18 months on how to make sure that we recruit better and how we train better and how we pull people through the business that way.
"Staff will get tips and their hourly wages but if you want to move up in the business with us and that gives you more time, more privileges, more holidays, that is also part of what we do as a business." He said a wage bill that increased by £750,000 was one of many additional costs."If you take electric and gas last year, we signed a contract and that took us as a business from paying £700,000 a year to over £1.65m a year.
