Andrew Goodacre, Bira CEO, appeared on Steph’s Packed Lunch on Tuesday 7th February at 12.30 pm.  You can watch the on-demand recording of the show on the channel4.com website (23 minutes into the program).

In the section covering the crisis for small businesses, we hear the experiences of three independent retailers located in Edinburgh, Leeds, and Birmingham.

The retail business owners explain the challenges they face since the pandemic, including the fact their takings are down by as much at 80%, compounded by the fact that more people are now working from home.
