Broken Suits; Hospitality Vacancies; Commonhold Homes

You and Yours

Available for over a year

New data for You and Yours suggests job vacancies in hospitality and catering are at a three year high. Sam Fenwick hears the views of two individuals on whether they feel ready to go back to an industry so badly hit the pandemic. The pandemic has redefined many areas of our lives including how we dress. With sales of suits in decline has the time come for the 'Broken Suit' - part smart, part casual? And is the era of leasehold home ownership with it's rip off ground and service charges coming to an end? The Government has announced plans to move towards the Commonhold model. What will it mean and will it help the 4.5 million people affected. Presenter: Samantha Fenwick Producer: Catherine Earlam
