Saira Hospitality have launched their first London-based pop-up hospitality training school, right here on Redchurch Street.
Hosted by Buckley Gray Yeoman in the iconic Tea Building, the not-for-profit company are improving access to work in the area and bringing new educational uses to the revival of High Streets in the UK.
“To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete.”
Until June, the Redchurch Street campus will host a free education and skills programme for local people. Successful graduates will be offered interviews with one of Saira’s employer partners, including The Hoxton, edyn, citizenM, Nobu Hotel Portman Square, Pan Pacific, Town Hall Hotel, Hilton Bankside, Iconic Luxury Hotels and Inhabit.
This initiative is part of onRedchurch’s on-going work to support people who live in the area, and Saira’s work as a not-for-profit, connecting communities with hospitality employers and bringing a new era of social sustainability to the sector. It is supported by the London Boroughs of Tower Hamlets and Hackney, and by the London Mayor.
