Restaurants, pubs and hotels across the West Midlands could gain access to a new supply of hospitality trained staff thanks to the opening of a new training restaurant inside a women’s prison at HMP Drake Hall by charity The Right Course.
Founded by maître d’ Fred Sirieix, the new restaurant ‘Flavours Unlocked’ will provide industry-standard training, recognised qualifications and direct links with employment, giving participants a pathway into secure work once they leave prison, reducing reoffending and making our streets safer.
