A report this week recommended that business rates be devolved and that local authorities should be given the opportunity to keep some of the rates money raised locally. The chairman of the task and finish group that wrote the report explains it's findings.

Today the Welsh Government held an event to discuss best practice in pubilc sector procurement. Huw Thomas chats to an expert in the field about the barriers to procurement and what can be done to overcome them.

Business and the arts. Not two sectors that naturally fit together, but tonight and awards ceremony takes place to celebrate exactly this. So how can Welsh companies benefit from supporting the arts?

We attend Wales' biggest facilitated networking breakfast and our business of the week is plastic pipe manufacturer, Newport-based Asset International.
