Port business rates, Baker Boys and recession relief?

Nick Servini and guests discuss the latest issues in the business world in Wales.

Last updated: 25 January 2011

It is a year since the UK economy officially came out of recession, but why aren't we feeling the benefits?

A new BBC drama based on a workers' buyout hit our screens this weekend. Would you risk your redundancy to buy your workplace?

Companies based in South Wales ports claim they are at a disadvantage compared to their English counterparts because of backdated business rates bills. The charges were waived in England by the Westminster Government after a successful lobbying campaign. But the Welsh Assembly Government say it would have lost £10 million from the treasury had it done the same as England, leading to deeper cuts in the public sector. What now for the shipping companies? Nick Servini discusses the issues with a Newport dock company boss.
