Another week is halfway through and it has already thrown up plenty of topics for the Punchline Friday Business Briefing panel to discuss.

Each week, Punchline-Gloucester.com editor Mark Owen is joined by a panel of leading Gloucestershire business figures to discuss the main news and issues from the previous seven days.

Taking their places on the panel this week will be:

• Steve Gardner-Collins - Chairman, Visit Gloucestershire Partnership and sales director, The Hatton Collection
• Philip Martin - Director, Martin Commercial Properties, managers of Cheltenham's Brewery Quarter
• Talitha Nelson - Chief executive, Gloucestershire Community Foundation
• James Strickland - Director, Neptune Rum
