Sketch Notes On Hugh Osmond - Part 2

Lucy Johnston in conversation with Hugh Osmond.  Entrepreneur Hugh Osmond famously ran Pizza Express in the 1990's floating the business and expanding to more than 200 restaurants. He then launched Punch Taverns which became one of Britains largest pub chains and later investment group Sun Capital Partners. Earlier this year Hugh described his shock at the mess on the High Street. "I have never ever seen this level of devastation to shops, hair dressers, cafes, pubs, bars, so many places that will not reopen when lockdown ends."
