E120 Punchline Talks! With Oli Christie, Joshua Taee, Patrick Chambers and George Tatham-Losh

Each Friday, Punchline-Gloucester.com editor Mark Owen is joined by leading Gloucestershire business figures from a range of backgrounds to review Fridays national & regional newspapers, discuss what is happening in their own business sector and in their own individual businesses.

Finally, they round off by picking the stories that have caught their eye in this week's Punchline-Gloucester.com.

The Business Breakfast Briefer show is sponsored by Hazlewoods Accountants and Business Advisors.

This week's panel of experts were:

Oli Christie - founder and CEO of mobile games studio Neon Play, based in Cirencester.

Others include Roller Splat, Cannon Man, Crossy Crash, Idle Tycoon, Idle Army Base and many, many more. All-in-all they have had over 170million downloads. Pity they are all free! They were the first gaming company in the UK to win a Queens Award.

Joshua Taee - CEO of Huffkins bakery and cake/tea rooms has eight tearooms and concessions in three John Lewis including one on Oxford Street, the company famously exports their cakes Japan where people queue around the block to try them! They have 130-140 staff with a turnover of £6.5million and own a hotel in Broadway - in Cotswolds not the USA.

Patrick Chambers - is the new Chairman of Gloucester City AFC - he has already turned the club around from losing nearly £30,000 a month to increasing revenue - he and his team are determined to make the club a quality destination - and has introduced the MONSTER BURGAR - that has already made national headlines. He shares the role with wife Nicky.

George Tatham-Losh - owner and director of Move sales and Letting - has expanded rapidly to have three offices including Gloucester, Cheltenham and Worcester. George has built his company by sheer hard work, energy and his love of selling and renting property. So much so that he has taken on a new MD - so that he can enjoy the parts of the business that he enjoys the most.
