Gordons is the retail specialist law firm acting for a range of clients including AO, B&M, Heron Foods, Iceland Foods, Morrisons, Ocado and Wren Kitchens.

Hosted by Gordons retail expert, Andy Brian, and food and drink specialist, Mark Jones, each episode features an industry insider who joins Andy and Mark to discuss the latest retail news and hot topics.
Previous guests include Asda’s senior director of corporate strategy and partnerships, Matt Harrison and Cloud Nine’s chief strategy officer, Gavin Rae.
