The Business
A weekly look at the world of business and personal finance with Richard Curran
Brexit's Impact on Business
January 1st marked the first day of Brexit and while Boris Johnson declared it as "an amazing moment" for Britain trucks and lorries delayed at ports may not agree. We're joined by Graham Parker, VP of Digital Freight Sales at Kontainers.com, Martina Lawless, ESRI economist and David McGee of PWC.
Brexit's Impact on Consumers
What about the impact of Brexit on consumers? It's not just businesses fearing the fallout. We're joined by our own Siobhán Maguire, consumer journalist.
Another Lockdown
It is not quite out with the old and in with the new, as we find ourselves in yet another lockdown. For Irish businesses forced to close their doors once again, the New Year presents new challenges. We're joined by Eileen Fleming, owner of the Buff Day Spa in Dublin, and Mark McGowan, President of the Restaurants Association of Ireland.
Travel Reopening
Normally at this time of the year many are starting to plan their summer holidays. With the vaccine campaign underway, should we look at booking flights for later this year? We're joined by travel journalist, Eoghan Corry.
Post Pandemic Workplace
With crisis comes opportunity and for business leaders that means taking a fresh look at the workplace. We're joined by Jean Callanan, Marketing Strategist, and Chris Kane, author of 'Where is my office? Reimagining the workplace for the 21st Century' to talk about the future of the workplace.
New Year's Resolutions
Its the time of year for new year's resolutions. Is this yearly tradition important for businesses? And with the year that's in it is there any point in making them when there are so many unknowns? Liam Geraghty has been finding out.
