On The Business Show on Marlow FM on 29th June 23 my guests were solicitor Hilary Messer of Gardner Leader and professional organiser Helena McBride of The Space Maker.
I started the show the same way Elton John did at Glastonbury a few days before, with Pinball Wizard. See and hear his whole Glastonbury set, starting with Pinball Wizard, at https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/p0ft7ncj/glastonbury-elton-john .
Hilary then talked about Gardner Leader, the legal firm that now operates from 7 locations and we talked about dispute resolution, her specialism, and the reasons that less people are going to court and more are using “alternate dispute resolution” .

Helena then talked about The Space Maker, the organising and decluttering that they do, and the most recent award that they’ve won!

Her music choice was ‘Luka” by Suzanne Vega because it’s one of her sister’s favourites. Hear it at https://youtu.be/VZt7J0iaUD0 .
My business news story is at https://www.bps.org.uk/news/women-feel-pain-losses-more-men-when-faced-risky-choices - does a fear of risk taking hinder women in business?
Hilary’s story is at https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/jun/24/lack-recycled-toilet-paper-fuelling-deforestation-office-waste-covid-tissue - a consequence of lockdown or of bad business planning?
And her music choice was The Cure with “Just Like heaven”, because they’re one of her favourite bands and she thinks it’s their best song. Hear it at https://youtu.be/n3nPiBai66M .
Helena’s story is https://www.dailymail.co.uk/columnists/article-12236039/RICHARD-LITTLEJOHN-Elton-John-brings-curtain-Glastonbury.html - not about Elton John at all, but the (allegedly) mad rules about to impact village halls and small venues.
We then squeezed in the story at https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-65981876 - a complete non-story or a brilliant PR distraction strategy?
My last song was of course Elton John’s “Rocket Man” – the closing song of his UK touring career. Hear the full 10 minute Glasto version at https://youtu.be/GwqJX3ZjRrs - enjoy!
