Nando’s and Deliveroo chiefs join hospitality council to help crisis-hit UK sector

Burger King and Starbucks leaders also sign up to new body to discuss mounting challenges

Bosses from chains including Nando's, Starbucks and Prezzo have been drafted in to advise the government on its plans to boost the hospitality sector after the easing of lockdown this summer.

Amid mounting concern over staff shortages and supplies across the economy, ministers said the group of executives would help to identify and oversee actions that the government could take to smooth the post-pandemic recovery for pubs, hotels, cafes and restaurants.
