Brands, Brexit And New Self-Care Business Models, With PAGB’s Michelle Riddalls


Listen Later

Summary:
At the heart of any successful self-care business is a portfolio of recognizable and trusted consumer health brands. These brands could play a key role in unlocking the potential of digital self-care in the UK, suggests Michelle Riddalls, in this second part of her Over the Counter interview. As PAGB CEO, Michelle has seen first had how the UK consumer health industry has been transformed, for example also by Brexit. Has the UK’s exit from the EU realised the promises of innovation unleashed from bureaucracy? Not so far, Michelle reflects, but it might be too soon to tell. What she can predict is that with its new five-year strategy, PAGB will remain dedicated to supporting UK firms in navigating a continuously evolving industry landscape.
