Chairmen Chat About Lancashire On Radio 4
Two club chairmen past and present made a repeat broadcast on BBC Radio 4's ‘You And Yours' programme over the new year period to review the longer term effects of last year's Budget and forecast what may lie ahead in 2010.
Former chairman Graham Archer and current joint chairman Steve Ward both initially featured on the programme last Easter as the current affairs review came to Chorley to gauge initial assessments of what the Budget would do for the area. The production team made a return trip to the north west shortly before Christmas to pre-record an update on the current economic situation, which was broadcast on New Year's Eve.
The pair provided contrasting viewpoints on the current state of the UK's finances, with Graham able to point out the lean pickings for long term shareholders and the retired, whilst Steve, MD of BusinessGiftUK.com, explained how being forced to re-invest in your business due to current low interest rates can pay dividend.
At the time of writing, the show was available as a ‘Listen Again' feature on the BBC Radio 4 website (http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00pf5wp/You_and_Yours_31_12_2009/), with the Chorley feature starting at 40:38 where Chris Maguire, editor of the Chorley & Leyland Guardian, forecasts an optimistic outlook for the local area.
