00:00 - Intro
00:21 - This year will Midcounties follow other retailers in closing our stores on Boxing Day so that our colleagues can spend time with their families?
01:41- The current long service awards were put in place some decades ago and at the time, staff were able to purchase a substantial gift from the Society. Would it be possible to look at the current reward system (with the current climate in mind), so our loyal staff are rewarded based on this time and not that previously?
03:25 - With the rise of artificial intelligence, how do you see the Society becoming involved?
05:13 - Do you feel we are making enough investment in our property portfolio because I’m concerned that sites are looking tired. Would the Society consider investing larger sums of money to bring the estate up to standard, so we don’t fall any further behind our competitors?
07:17 - Having spent time in Borneo looking after orphaned orangutans, I have first-hand experience of the impact that palm oil plantations have had on the environment. Is the Society doing the right thing in sourcing products containing palm oil?
10:04 - A question from Phil to the host
