In the first podcast of 2021 the BackinBusiness team and guests do some crystal ball gazing: what do the next 12 months hold for small businesses and freelancers.

They're surprisingly optimistic on some fronts. Join the team with guests businessman Doug Henderson, who was MP for Newcastle upon Tyne North from 1987 to 2010 and Shadow Trade and Industry Minister under Neil Kinnock, Dr Roger Barker Director of Policy and Corporate Governance, at the Institute of Directors, and Tracey Dawson MD of Daletech Electronics in Pudsey Leeds.
