We're reliving one of the highlights of the first unLTD Business Expo in this episode...

Listen back to the breakfast panel debate in front of an audience in Magna, ahead of the main expo itself. The discussion followed the Labour government pledging to devolve more power to regional mayoral authorities in areas such as transport, skills and planning, with the hope it provides an economic boost.

Our panel debate what opportunities this will create and whether the region is ready to be heard with one voice.

The discussion is hosted and led by James Marriott with a great panel:

• Louisa Harrison-Walker (Chief Executive, Sheffield Chamber of Commerce)
• Alice Rubbra (Assistant Director of Growth, Business and Skills at SYMCA)
• Barney Mynott (Federation of Small Businesses)

We celebrate the unsung hero of the business world in this episode - where we meet the solopreneurs who are forging their own path to business growth.

The path-most-trodden is that of recruitment and expansion, but our panel are all happy with their businesses being just themselves.

Host James Marriott is joined by four guests:

• Laura Stead, freelance marketing consultant
• Russell Thompson, Director on Demand
• Laura Blackburn, B Animated Ltd
• Rebecca Morris, Benchmark

And James himself plays a very active role in this conversation, as someone who falls perfectly within the category as well with his business Sound Media.
