With unemployment in the UK rising up to 4.7% in May and the jobs market weakening, we are interested in finding out more about people’s experiences trying to find a job in the hospitality industry.

What has it been like looking for employment? Have you been able to find a job this summer? Do you have any concerns? We would also like to hear from business owners and their experiences of hiring people – have you cut back?
