Nothing is permanent except change!
I am a creature of habit – if something works, don’t try fixing it. I don’t like change for the sake of change.
This said, change is all around me – Cork is changing, people are changing and no more so than in the food world. The re-opening of Ireland has started and the hospitality sector is preparing for the opportunities and challenges ahead.
One challenge is to re-hire core staff – with so many companies hiring at the moment, competition for the best personnel is tough.
