Greg Mangham, Founder and Voluntary CEO of Only A Pavement Away, is joined by Patron and Michelin-starred chef Tom Aikens. Tom reflects on the journey that shaped his career and why supporting second chances through hospitality matters so deeply to him. He shares behind-the-scenes insight into the flagship Cook & Dine fundraiser and the challenge of climbing Mount Kilimanjaro, which helped raise nearly £60,000 for the charity. The episode finishes with a lively quick-fire round and Tom’s thoughts on what’s next. Each month, Serving Success: The Only A Pavement Away Podcast, shines a spotlight on purpose and positive change within the industry. We hope these episodes inspire listeners to make a positive change in their hospitality businesses. Thank you to our Podcast Sponsors at Stonegate Group.
