Britain's hospitality sector is calling on the government to allow businesses to sponsor Ukrainians and says it can provide tens of thousands of jobs and accommodation, calling it a 'win-win' opportunity.
The country's hospitality sector — which says it can provide tens of thousands of jobs as well as accommodation — is calling on the government to allow businesses to sponsor Ukrainians as well.
Kate Nicholls, chief executive of industry group UKHospitality, said staff vacancy rates had doubled since COVID-19 lockdowns forced hotels and restaurants to close.Many workers left the industry during the pandemic, she said, while Brexit — Britain's withdrawal from the European Union in 2020 — made it harder to fix the problem.
Mr Saunders, who runs The Willow Tree restaurant near the university city of Cambridge, said the project was supported by 3,000 hotels across Britain offering 14,000 rooms with jobs. Ms Nicholls said the industry would ensure that any staff who left jobs tied to accommodation did not become homeless.Sitting in the dining room of Mallow, Ms Bogatyrova said the visa process had not been easy.
