Mask wearing and restrictions on the number of people allowed inside venues may be a thing of the past, but the trials and tribulations of our hospitalty industry are far from over.

Earlier this year we heard how restaurants and bars across Merseyside were having to turn people away or in some cases even close their doors, not because of a lack of customers, but because of a lack of staff, which left venues unable to open fully.
