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.

Taking their places on the business briefing panel this week were:

Mike Mellor, partner at Quella Bicycle.

Cathryn Hage, freelance marketing and trustee of the Pied Piper Appeal.

Roger White, owner of Severnside Software Ltd.

Darren Stevens, managing director of Prestbury Marketing.

It is a lively informative chat with the panel working their way through the national papers before getting behind the nitty gritty of their own businesses and market place.

Subjects covered included: working from home tax loophole, retail sector confidence, dry January and 'Veganuary' Green Core and the have and have-nots, care homes reopening to the public, cyclists given more rights but don't get them started on lights and bells and being seen!

We get to see Quella Bikes range and chat through the market places and the up tick in spend on marketing and pr, plus covered the cyber attack at Gloucester city council and how perhaps it could have been prevented.

The panel fire through lots of subjects, with news and views and there is something to learn for everyone who is interested in business from the people who are at the sharp end of running their companies.

It is well worth the investment of time to listen to four top experts - in business you never stop learning.
