The weekend is almost here which means it is time for the Punchline-Gloucester.com Friday Business Briefing panel to discuss the week's major business news.

Each week, editor Mark Owen is joined by a selection of Gloucestershire's leading business figures to run the rule over the headlines which caught their eyes in the papers and on Punchline - and the stories behind them.

• Ian Eggleton - Director of building and access consultancy, Evans Jones chartered surveyor and planning consultants
• Simon Ford - Managing director, Allstone
• Simon Tothill - Property and development director, Robert Hitchins

Among the issues discussed this week are saving the high street, recycling over the lockdown and rise of the home worker - will they stay at home or will they go back to work?
