Andy reflects on the way in which the supermarket and grocery sector responded in the early stages of the pandemic, with panic buying and intense demand shining a light on supply chains, logistics and consumer behaviour.

He also talks about the continuing rise of the challengers; the forces changing the sector; and the failed Asda-Sainsbury’s merger. 

Also in this episode, Christian looks at the success of the new small business loan scheme; Norman Lamont’s warning of economic disaster; and Heathrow’s latest case for a third runway.

Listen to our daily City View podcast as we chart the economic fallout and business impact of the coronavirus pandemic.
