In this episode of WABChats, we speak with Tess Taylor, Co-Founder of The Tap Social Movement, an Oxford-based craft brewery and hospitality social enterprise with a unique approach to workforce development.
Tess shares the fascinating story of setting up and scaling a business that provides training and employment opportunities to ex-offenders and low-category prisoners, with 28% of their current team having lived experience of the criminal justice system.
We explore the strategic considerations of building a successful social enterprise, the benefits of inclusive hiring practices, and practical advice for businesses considering supporting or employing individuals reintegrating into society.
