Down To Business

Joining Bobby in the executive chair this week is Tony Lanigan, MD of Creative Technology Ireland.

Andy Burnham is expected to become Labour leader at a special conference on July 17th and hence the Prime Minister. One of his plans is to have a Number 10 in the North and he’s attempting what’s being called ‘ Manchesterism” that attempts to rid England of the North South divide - but is that possible? Political Economist Will Hutton joins Bobby to discuss.

Joining Bobby to go through the main business stories from the Saturday papers is journalist and author, Valerie Cox & Deputy Business Editor of the Sunday Times Ireland, Jon Ihle.

For this week’s Industry Review we look at the stock market - what it actually is, what drives it up and down, and why it matters even if you’ve never bought a share in your life.
From interest rates and inflation to global tech giants and pension funds, we’ll unpack how money really moves through the system and who is making the big decisions behind the scenes.
Joining Bobby to make sense of it all are three experts with very different perspectives on how markets work today.
Rory GIllen, Investment Strategist at Quilter Cheviot

Aidan Donnelly, Head of Global Equities at Davy

Kathryn Hannon, Investment Manager with RBC Brewin Dolphin

Paul English is a serial tech entrepreneur best known as the co-founder and former CTO of Kayak.com. He is also the author of The Meeting Book: How the Best Companies Meet Better, which outlines his strategies for cutting out wasteful corporate meetings and improving decision-making. He joins Bobby to talk about his life in business, philanthropy, and more.
