Social enterprises take centre-stage

How business is giving deprived young people a chance to work

Patrons and guests of Asian Business Chamber of Commerce (ABCC) learned first-hand about the impact of social enterprises at a dinner held at Malmaison. Rosie Ginday, the founder of Miss Macaroon, spoke about giving an opportunity to young people from deprived backgrounds in the city through her hand-made French macaroons business. Miss Macaroon is a community interest company that reinvests 100 per cent of its profits into helping unemployed young people gain skills that will help to change their lives. Money Chopra, cluster sales manager of Malmaison and Hotel du Vin also outlined the opportunities available at the hotels.
