Mr. Sean Collender:

On the staffing side of things, we have approximately 80 staff and, to be clear, we have no business without our staff. We value our staff and the contribution they make to the business and all our customers. The single biggest issue - the elephant in room - in the cost of doing business from a staffing perspective is finding staff acceptable, liveable accommodation or rents that are a reasonable percentage of their incomes. It is vastly out of kilter. That is a big issue that needs to be resolved. It is down to the respective Ministers to try to solve that problem as quickly as possible. The single biggest question we get from our staff when they are looking at wages is about how they are meant to live. I am asking the committee about how am I meant to operate my business. We fully understand the concerns our staff have in terms of looking after themselves, but it is about trying to create that balance. The cost of doing business for the business side has to be alleviated but, equally, the housing issue has to be resolved and fast.
