🎙️ In a recent episode of the podcast, Mark recounted an inspiring initiative by Pret during the Olympics, aimed at supporting London's taxi drivers who were experiencing hardships due to the event. 🚖✨ Under the leadership of CEO Clive Schlee, Pret chose to offer all taxi drivers a free beverage of their choice, discarding the typical minor discounts that rarely make an impact.

For every free drink given, five additional items were sold. 📊☕ 🎧 Listen to the full podcast, links below 👇 👉 Spotify 🎧 https://spoti.fi/3yzUIWc 👉 Youtube 📹 https://bit.ly/3LSVwIR #Leadership #CommunitySupport #BusinessStrategy #Podcasting #PretAManger #hospitality #pret
