This week's instalment of Punchline Talks features Ruth Dooley, partner at Hazlewoods and recently appointed chair of GFirst LEP.

It has been another big week of news for the Punchline Friday Business Briefers to discuss when they come together tomorrow.

Each Friday, Punchline 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 panel this week will be:

• Chris Creed, chief executive of Creed Foodservice.

• Claire Thayers, ambassador at Happerley.

• Chris Nelson, police and crime commissioner for Gloucestershire.

• Joe Roberts, director at Roberts Limbrick.
