In today’s episode – the first recorded from Morning Wire’s offices – Andy is joined by Miles Roberts, CEO of  FTSE-100 packaging firm DS Smith. Miles and Andy discuss the impact of lockdown on packaging, what innovation looks like when it comes to cardboard, and post-Brexit goods regimes. They even talk about when Crystal Palace fans might be back on the terraces – and whether fans are good for business.

Andy also looks at more troubles for Boohoo, the UK Government’s ‘Check Change Go’ Brexit campaign, and Google’s hefty investment in India.
