Consumer habits after lockdown

BBC Radio 4 - The Bottom Line, Consumer habits after lockdown

What have you craved and what do you barely miss? Have consumer habits changed for good?

More take-away orders, a surge in bike sales, and flour flying off the supermarket shelves. Just some of our buying habits during lockdown. But which consumer habits will stick?

What have you learned about yourself in lockdown? What is it you crave, what have you found you barely miss? Evan Davis and guests contemplate life after lockdown and changing consumer habits. A surge in the sale of bikes, toilet roll panic buying, and flour flying off the supermarket shelves. Will these consumer habits stick? Have we learned to value other things in life than shopping? Or will we just want to borrow and spend at the first possible opportunity?

Guests:

Kate Ancketill, founder and CEO, GDR Creative Intelligence
Richard Walker, managing director, Iceland Foods
Jonathan Cole, managing director, Velorution
Kate Nicholls, chief executive, UK Hospitality

Producer: Lesley McAlpine

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
