Easter is over and the Punchline Friday Business Briefing panel is back from a brief break with plenty to talk about ahead of the latest lifting of lockdown restrictions.

Every Friday, Punchline-Gloucester.com editor Mark Owen is joined by a selection of leading Gloucestershire business figures from a range of backgrounds to debate the main news and issues from the previous seven days.

And this week, there is the added bonus of a Punchline Talks video interview with GFirst LEP chief executive David Owen.

Taking their places on the business briefing panel this week will be:

• Nicola Bird - Director, KW Bell Group
• Steve Gardner-Collins - Chair of Visit Gloucestershire Partnership and sales director of The Hatton Group
• Hayley Parker - Director, OPS-BOX
• Joe Roberts - Director, Roberts Limbrick Architects
