Business Rates, Northern Rock, Walking Meetings, Late Payments

BBC Radio Wales - Wales at Work, Business Rates, Northern Rock, Walking Meetings, Late Payments

Brian hears about a union initiative that hopes to help freelancers combat late payment.

Brian hears about a Community Union initiative that wants to help freelancers combat the scourge of late payment. Plus, how inflation could affect the nation's high street.

Retailing is big business in Wales and a major employer - but is it facing a perfect storm? Brian talks to Sara Jones, head of the Welsh Retail Consortium. A decade on from the run on the Northern Rock bank, marking the start of the financial crisis, Brian looks at whether the right lessons have been learned with Kevin Gardiner, head of Global Investment Strategy with Rothschild Wealth Management. Sitting is apparently "the new smoking", so Brian takes a walk in the park to learn about meetings on the move. From steelworkers to the self-employed, he also hears how Community Union is branching out to deal with the gig economy and help freelancers weather late payments. And reporter Louise Day meets a couple who turned a life-changing diagnosis and a herd of goats into a business opportunity.
