How can businesses navigate global trade tensions amid domestic tax and national insurance shifts?

Welcome to the Northern Business Podcast, a regular discussion with people in the North of England who lead businesses, employ people and have new ideas to help our economy grow.

The Northern Business Podcast is produced by Recognition PR, which serves scores of companies in different sectors across the country, some of which occasionally contribute.

We are kindly sponsored by Vertu Motors plc, one of the top automotive retailers in the UK, with a network of dealerships representing some of the world’s most popular brands.

Our host is Graham Robb, and in the studio today, we have James Widmer founder and CEO of Sunderland based Advanced Electric Machines. Also joining us is Joanne Whitfield, fund director at FW Capital. And down the line we have Tony Stein, chief executive at Healthcare Management Solutions.
