Everyman: the chain pushing to bring home cinema to the high street

The film industry loves a sequel and Crispin Lilly is aiming to refurbish old buildings around the country in a bid to turn the Everyman cinema chain into a nationwide blockbuster.

The group began life in 2000 when investors led by the young entrepreneur Daniel Broch rescued the Hampstead Everyman from administration.

All the boutique chains have been criticised and Everyman continues to use zero-hours contracts, which do not promise regular hours to staff.
