The boss is gay. He experiences severe bullying at school. He thinks companies should make a stand, and he's said that if people are homophobic then he doesn't want them as customers.
Simon Altham, chief portfolio officer of Awaze UK, the owners of Hoseasons, has revealed frank details of his own personal struggle as a gay man in business and said he had taken the brave commercial move to ban customers with extreme views.
“I came to the conclusion that Hoseasons as a brand needed to stand for something and I don’t want racist or homophobic customers booking with Hoseasons. If you are homophobic or racist, Hoseasons isn’t the right brand for you,” he said.
