He founded The Right Course charity to create realistic, industry-standard restaurants in prisons to support offenders in pursuing a career in the hospitality industry at the end of their sentence. Here, he joins The Right Course’s chief executive Simon Sheehan and Peter Brammall, deputy managing director of Novus, to talk about his experience of working with prisoners, his ambitions – and the challenges ahead.
