Lasting Power of Attorney, Mobile Phone Sales and EV Home Chargers

You and Yours

Available for over a year

New research shows that three in ten people with Lasting Power of Attorney face difficulties trying to use it at their bank. Mobile phone companies are hoping that new features powered by AI will persuade more people to upgrade their devices following five years of falling sales numbers in the UK. If you have an electric vehicle, you soon get to know which public chargers suit you. But what about at home? For most consumers the choice is a shot in the dark that you could come to regret, if you don't do your research! The average person buys a physical product or service that they aren't happy with, or doesn't perform as expected, four times a year. What's the best way to go about getting re-dress? Retailers and hospitality were bracing themselves for a tough January; how did it turn out? And what are the prospects looking like for the rest of the year? PRESENTER: PETER WHITE PRODUCER: KEVIN MOUSELEY
