Lock downs and challenging times.  Chris tells all as we chat to him about the joys of running a Brewery.  Having recently retired, he decided that he wanted to get involved with something and went on a quest to find the ‘perfect fit’.

Having found the Brewery, he was very soon faced with dealing with everything that a ‘worldwide pandemic’ would bring.  It's all about thinking outside the box and being passionate about the product.

Have a listen, its’ interesting, inspiring and there’s a real sense of passion.  Oh, and the odd top tip too.

Michael Brown joins us for a conversation about buying and selling a used car, he's run WOW Cars in Yateley they offer a new, easy, hassle-free way to sell your car.

What's it been like for the Motor Trade in the last 12 months, and the familiar and family faces that he meets at WOW Cars.

They aim to sell your vehicle at its actual market value whilst taking away the stress and hard work of selling it yourself. They deal with everything from start to finish, prep to the sale so you don’t have to.

Unlike car buying websites, they aim to sell your car at its actual value rather than returning you a trade price, leaving you with more cash to buy your next car. They work hard to ensure you get the most out of your car, taking care of any needed preparation, photography, advertising and buyer liaison.

You can hear this man's taste in music and offers some advice on buying a used car, more details have a listen to this fun and engaging conversation, more details below.
