Punchline Talks promises to take us for a ride this week with a line-up of guests discussing the key business issues of the day.

Rachel Geliamassi, newly appointed managing director of Stagecoach in the west of England and Oxfordshire, is the guest in the hot seat for the Big Interview.

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

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

• Alasdair Garbutt - Partner, Willans
• David Jones - Managing director, Evans Jones
• Ian Mean - Gloucestershire director, Business West
• Daniel O'Neill - Founder, ProCook
