Morrisons’ four-day week, James Timpson on kindness in business and what’s next for click & collect

Laura and Julia discuss Morrisons’ move to a four-day working week for staff at their HQ, Tesco’s innovative refillable packaging trial with Loop, the future of click & collect in the wake of Covid and a landmark UK project to create animal feed from air (well, sort of).

 

Plus, they chat about what lessons corporate op ed writers can draw from James Timpson’s latest Sunday Times column – and discover why the cake meme that’s been making the rounds on the internet is so irresistible.
