00:00 - Intro
00:16 - Is there any awareness of the lack of ethnic minority representation at senior level and the reasons for this?
03:12 - I’ve followed your community visits last year and love how genuinely interested you are about each and every group you have met with. What’s the biggest single learning or impact you have taken from meeting these charity partners and community groups?
05:20 - With Energy prices rising again in April, we will be offering the Food ratchet spend in April to help customers and colleagues in Easter?
06:33 - As the energy bills rise even more next year, do you foresee any business collaborations within our trading groups? i.e. Travel branches inside a Food store to save on energy usage and rent. Or deals for Food if you buy a holiday.
08:46 - More and more companies are giving staff and allowing them to have a 4-day working week with no reduction in wages. Is this something that Midcounties are looking at doing? This would help those with childcare issues and the cost of living overall. Companies are confirming how successful this is with the workforce and that productivity has increased.
11:02 - Phil asks a question to the host
