The weekend is almost with us and there is one business essential remaining to round off the week - the latest Punchline-Gloucester.com Business Briefing.

Each week, a panel of Gloucestershire's leading business figures runs the rule over the headlines which caught their eyes - and the stories behind them.

Joining Punchline editor Mark Owen on the panel this week are:

• Tim Watkins - Managing partner, Randall & Payne
• Jenny McLoughlin - Financial director, McLoughlin Planning
• Cathryn Hage - Owner, Pentacom Marketing & PR and trustee of the Pied Piper Appeal
• Roger White - Owner, Severnside Software Ltd

They reflect on how the pandemic has affected their respective sectors with topics covered including advice for charities, the extension of the commercial eviction ban, delays for goods at UK ports and Space X.
