We’re kicking off a new series on Dirty Linen today and we’re asking a big question. 
Is hospitality broken?
We hope the answer is no.
But there’s no doubt that it’s hard. Harder than ever, and as it happens for today’s guest, too hard to keep going. Alex Elliot-Howery and her husband James Grant opened Cornersmith in 2011. It’s been through various iterations over a dozen or so years and in many ways has been a touchstone in the way it’s put ethics and sustainability at the centre of the business. So what’s happening now?
