That’s all folks, last day at @LBFEW done, thanks all for your inspiration and challenge, it’s been an incredible 11 years, always more to do though, look out for the job advert very soon for all those people who wanted my job! I’m off to France to become a restaurateur 😁
@TheSumoGuy I’m taking your advice, eventually going to live my dream and moving to France, really struggling with paperwork and keep thinking ‘how important will this be in six months time?’. ‘You know how you never know the impact you’ve had on someone?’. Well done Paul McGee, I applaud U!
Just one week to go until I say a fond farewell to @LBFEW and move to France to start life as a restauranteur, thank you @PaulStreets_ for a lovely lunch 😊

Not so good news: recruitment is far from equitable:
❗ Applicants aged 55 - 64 are 80% more likely to be appointed than applicants aged 18 - 34
❗White applicants are almost twice as likely to be appointed than applicants of colour
