It may only be Wednesday, but Punchline is already looking forward to Friday and our weekly Punchline Talks videos.

• Tim Watkins - Managing partner, Randall & Payne
• Jenny McLoughlin - Financial director, McLoughlin Planning
• Cathryn Hage - Owner, Pentacom Marketing & PR and trustee of the Pied Piper Appeal
• Roger White - Owner, Severnside Software Ltd

As well as the Business Briefing, Stephen Shortt - founder of natural men's grooming products Hawkins & Brimble - is this week's guest in the Punchline Talks hot seat.
