Greg Mangham, Founder and Voluntary CEO of Only A Pavement Away, is joined by Nick Mackenzie, CEO of Greene King, and Graham Briggs, Social Lead at Greene King, to discuss Greene King’s commitment to supporting prison leavers into meaningful careers through hospitality. The episode explores their ‘Releasing Potential’ programme, how they work with Only A Pavement Away inside prisons, and the importance of challenging stigma around hiring people with custodial backgrounds. With 145 members already placed into work, they reflect on the impact of creating second chances, the stories that have stayed with them, and why hospitality has such a powerful role to play in helping people rebuild their lives. 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.
