Description
The Cornwall Food Foundation, the charity which owns and runs the restaurant 'Jamie Oliver’s Fifteen Cornwall' in Newquay, in South West England, announced the closure of its site, which will make 100 people redundant. The closure affects 70 restaurant workers and 30 employees in the charity's administration.
In their statement, the charity said that they had taken the necessary steps towards liquidating of the foundation and the restaurant following an independent financial review.
The restaurant was founded in 2006 to train disadvantaged and unemployed workers as chefs and used Jamie Oliver’s name under a licence agreement. The closure is unrelated to the financial problems and collapse of Oliver’s restaurant group in spring 2019.

The retail banking sector is fertile ground for studying the impacts of digitalisation on work and employment. Financial services are increasingly provided online, without the intermediary of customer-facing institutions.
European labour markets have recovered strongly from COVID-19. By the end of 2021, little more than 18 months after the start of the pandemic, employment rates in the EU were almost at pre-crisis levels.
