Episode Summary:
In this episode of The Cashflow Show Podcast, host Clayton M. Coke sits down with Will Scott, Real Estate Disputes Partner at Irwin Mitchell, to explore the resurgence of office demand as UK businesses adapt to staff returning to the workplace. With 45% of UK businesses planning to expand office space in the next 12-18 months, Will unpacks the drivers behind this trend, the challenges of limited Grade A office supply, and the strategic considerations for corporate occupiers. From hybrid working to cost pressures and environmental goals, this episode offers actionable insights for business leaders navigating the evolving commercial property landscape.

Key Discussion Points: 

• Return-to-Office Trends: 72% of surveyed businesses report increased office attendance, with 74% expecting further rises in the next 12-18 months, driven by the need for collaboration and social capital. 
• Office Space Demand: 45% of UK businesses plan to expand office space, but 49% prefer reconfiguring existing spaces due to high relocation costs. 
• Post-Pandemic Lessons: 64% of businesses admit to over-downsizing during COVID-19, highlighting the need for strategic, long-term property planning. 
• Hybrid Working Challenges: Younger employees accustomed to remote work need incentives like flexible hours, better amenities, and inclusive environments to return to the office. 
• Sustainability and Costs: Businesses face a shortage of environmentally friendly, BREAM-certified office spaces, with rising costs posing barriers to office alterations. 
• HR and Property Strategy Alignment: Integrating HR and property strategies is critical to designing workspaces that boost engagement and retention.

Key Takeaways: 

• Corporate occupiers are prioritizing collaboration and brand identity, driving the return-to-office movement. 
• Reconfiguring existing office spaces is often more cost-effective than relocating, but businesses must plan for hybrid working needs. 
• A clear property strategy aligned with business goals is essential to navigate rising costs and limited supply. 
• Incentivizing employees with flexible hours, improved IT, and inclusive environments can boost office attendance.

Notable Quotes: 

• “It’s by being together that you can really drive your brand and drive your profit.” – Will Scott 
• “The key for all corporate occupiers is strategy. The strategy must be driven by the business needs.” – Will Scott 
• “One of the best things you can do is take a breath and step back… don’t make any big decision now because you don’t know what it’s going to be in the future.” – Will Scott

Actionable Insights for Businesses: 

1. Develop a Property Strategy: Assess your business’s long-term needs (e.g., hybrid or flexible working) and evaluate whether your current space can adapt or if relocation is necessary. 
2. Align HR and Property Goals: Collaborate with HR to design workspaces that support employee engagement, retention, and new working practices like collaboration and quiet zones. 
3. Explore Cost-Effective Solutions: Consider reconfiguring existing spaces to accommodate hybrid working rather than incurring high relocation costs. 
4. Incentivize Office Attendance: Offer flexible hours, free amenities (e.g., breakfast), and inclusive environments to encourage employees, especially younger workers, to return. 
5. Prioritize Sustainability: Explore ESG-related financing options to fund environmentally friendly office upgrades, potentially securing lower interest rates.

Episode Summary:
In this episode of The Cashflow Show, host Clayton M. Coke is joined by Emma Carr, Commercial Disputes Partner at Gowling WLG, to explore the impact of tariff disruptions, particularly under the Trump administration’s trade policies. Emma discusses how sectors like fast-moving consumer goods, retail, and manufacturing are vulnerable due to tight margins and fixed pricing. She offers practical advice on contract reviews, supply chain audits, and communication to mitigate risks, with a focus on Northern Ireland’s unique challenges. Emma also highlights how businesses can leverage legal expertise to future-proof against trade uncertainties.

Key Discussion Points: 

• Tariff Impacts: Fast-moving consumer goods, retail, and manufacturing face cost shocks from tariffs due to volume-driven models and fixed pricing. 
• Sector Vulnerabilities: These industries lack flexibility to absorb or pass on tariff costs, risking profitability and production delays. 
• Contract Preparedness: Businesses often neglect contracts until disputes arise, leaving them unprepared for tariff-driven changes. 
• Proactive Steps: Review contracts for clauses like force majeure or price adjustments, conduct supply chain audits, and diversify suppliers. 
• Northern Ireland’s Challenges: Caught between UK and EU rules, Northern Irish businesses in agriculture, manufacturing, and tech face tariff uncertainty. 
• Communication Strategy: Early dialogue with suppliers and customers can help share risks and adapt terms before crises hit. 
• Future-Proofing: Include tariff-specific clauses in new contracts to anticipate trade disruptions and regulatory changes.

Key Takeaways: 

• Tariffs disrupt industries with tight margins, requiring proactive contract and supply chain management to mitigate risks. 
• Northern Ireland’s unique position amplifies tariff challenges, demanding clarity on product origins and trade routes. 
• Open communication and flexible contract clauses are critical to navigating trade uncertainties. 
• Legal expertise, like Gowling WLG’s, can help businesses reset contracts and prepare for ongoing trade volatility.

Notable Quotes: 

• “Fast-moving consumer goods, retail, and manufacturing rely on predictability… tariffs throw a lot of unpredictability into the mix.” — Emma Carr 
• “Pen and jaw is often better than all-out war. Open those lines of communication now and start talking.” — Emma Carr 
• “The idea of sitting and doing nothing and just hoping for the best is not really a strategy.” — Emma Carr

Actionable Insights for Businesses:

• Review Contracts: Dust off supplier and customer agreements to check for tariff-related clauses, renegotiation options, or termination rights. 
• Audit Supply Chains: Map critical goods and suppliers to identify exposure to tariff-prone regions like the US or China, and diversify where possible. 
• Communicate Early: Engage suppliers and customers now to agree on cost-sharing or flexible terms to handle tariff impacts. 
• Leverage Legal Expertise: Work with firms like Gowling WLG to draft tariff-resilient contracts and access resources like ThinkHouse for in-house counsel.

Episode Summary:

In this episode of The Cashflow Show, host Clayton M. Coke is joined by Tim Ayling, Vice-President of Cybersecurity Solutions, EMEA at Thales UK, to unpack the 2025 Imperva Bad Bot Report, which reveals bots now account for 51% of internet traffic. Tim explains what bots are, how AI makes them more dangerous, and their impact on industries like travel and SMEs. From polymorphic bots to denial-of-service attacks, he shares how Thales counters these threats and offers practical steps for businesses to stay secure in an AI-driven cyber landscape.

Key Discussion Points: 

• Bot Traffic Surge: The 2025 Imperva report shows bots make up 51% of internet activity, surpassing human traffic, with 37% being malicious (up from 32% in 2023). 
• What Are Bots?: Bots are automated code; while one-third are beneficial (e.g., Siri, WHO’s COVID bot), malicious bots target account takeovers and denial-of-service attacks. 
• AI’s Role: AI simplifies bot creation (e.g., for scalping Oasis tickets) and enables polymorphic bots that regenerate to bypass defenses. 
• Targeted Sectors: Travel, especially airlines, faces bot-driven ticket scalping, while SMEs are vulnerable but less targeted than banks or large firms. 
• Nation-State Threats: Organized crime and nation-states use bots for cyberattacks, with heightened activity amid global tensions. 
• SME Protections: Basic solutions like CAPTCHA and two-factor authentication help, while Thales offers advanced tools like web application firewalls and API security. 
• Future Outlook: AI-driven bots will grow more sophisticated, challenging cybersecurity vendors to keep pace over the next 2-5 years.

Key Takeaways: 

• Bots, empowered by AI, are a growing cybersecurity threat, with malicious bots driving significant risks like account takeovers and website crashes. 
• SMEs need affordable, basic protections like CAPTCHA, while larger firms require advanced solutions to counter polymorphic bots. 
• Two-factor authentication is a simple, effective defense for individuals and businesses against bot-driven account attacks. 
• The travel industry and APIs are prime targets, requiring specialized security to protect online operations.

Notable Quotes: 

• “A bot is just a small bit of code that can automate anything online… about a third of bots are actually good bots.” — Tim Ayling 
• “AI allows bots to learn when they don’t work… they regenerate themselves to find a way past defenses.” — Tim Ayling 
• “It’s a bit like Skynet right now… we’re using AI to attack the AI that’s coming in from the bad guys.” — Tim Ayling

Actionable Insights for Businesses: 

• Implement Basic Defenses: Enable two-factor authentication and CAPTCHA on websites to block basic bot attacks, especially for SMEs. 
• Explore SME Solutions: Research affordable cybersecurity providers offering bot protection, such as those integrated with AWS or similar platforms. 
• Secure APIs: If your business relies on online applications, invest in API security to protect against bot-driven data breaches. 
• Stay Informed: Download the 2025 Imperva Bad Bot Report to understand bot risks and tailor your cybersecurity strategy accordingly

Episode Summary:

 In this episode of The Cashflow Show, host Clayton M. Coke chats with Pauline Green, small business expert at Intuit QuickBooks, about how SMEs can tackle the UK’s recent National Insurance (NI) hike. Pauline discusses QuickBooks’ automation tools, insights from a 26,000-business survey showing sustained hiring, and strategies like salary sacrifice schemes to mitigate costs. She emphasizes cash flow management over profitability and previews AI’s role in simplifying finances, offering practical advice for small business owners in 2025.

Key Discussion Points: 

• NI Hike Context: The Autumn Budget increased employers’ NI, but QuickBooks’ software automates compliance, easing the burden for SMEs. 
• SME Hiring Trends: A QuickBooks survey of 26,000 businesses found a 6,000-headcount increase, with 16% of micro-businesses (1-9 employees) hiring more. 
• Automation Benefits: QuickBooks streamlines payroll, VAT, and expense tracking, freeing owners to focus on skilled tasks and growth. 
• Salary Sacrifice Schemes: Offering childcare vouchers, cycle-to-work programs, or pension contributions reduces taxable income, lowering NI and tax liabilities. 
• Cash Flow Priority: Cash flow, not just profitability, is critical to SME survival, with automation aiding in tracking and forecasting. 
• AI’s Future Role: AI will enhance QuickBooks by providing data-driven insights, like cash flow predictions, to simplify financial management. 
• Payroll Automation: QuickBooks automates payroll, flags issues like minimum wage compliance, and reduces admin time for hourly or salaried staff.

Key Takeaways: 

• SMEs are resilient, continuing to hire despite NI hikes, supported by automation and cost-saving strategies. 
• Cash flow management is more critical than profitability to prevent business failure, with software like QuickBooks providing real-time insights. 
• Salary sacrifice schemes offer a practical way to reduce NI and tax burdens for both employers and employees. 
• AI-driven tools will soon act as a “finance person in your pocket,” streamlining SME operations.

Notable Quotes: 

• “The software does the calculations for you… you don’t have to worry about getting out a calculator.” — Pauline Green 
• “Businesses don’t necessarily fail because they’re not profitable. They fail because of cash flow.” — Pauline Green 
• “We’re aiming for [QuickBooks] to be your finance person in your pocket and do all the work for you.” — Pauline Green

Actionable Insights for Businesses: 

• Adopt Automation: Use QuickBooks to automate payroll, VAT, and expense tracking, saving time and ensuring compliance with NI changes. 
• Implement Salary Sacrifice: Explore childcare, cycle-to-work, or pension schemes to reduce NI and tax liabilities, consulting pension providers for eligibility.

It is truly a pleasure to welcome Chris Bavin, Co-host of Aldi's Next Big Thing on Channel 4.

In this episode, I sit down with  Chris Bavin to discuss; The Role of Programmes like Aldi's Next Big Thing, Life As A Former Greengrocer, The Difficulties of Scaling Up, Advice Gained From Working On The Show, Self-Belief & Work/Life Balance.

Aldi’s Next Big Thing returns to screens following the success of the first series in 2022, where 36 small food and drink suppliers bid for the game-changing opportunity to stock their products in Aldi stores across the UK. 

 

Winners have included young farmers, Charlie and Laurie Fermor of Freddie’s Farm, who described landing the Aldi contract as “like winning the lottery for a small business’” and Howard Kinder from Malton Brewery who said: “appearing on the show was absolutely life-changing”. 

 

As well as dinners, this year’s six-part series will see contestants showcase products in categories such as healthy and wholesome, bakery, party, world, and confectionery.

Viewers will see chef to the stars, ‘Chef Vickz’ pitch client Stormzy’s favourite to Managing Director of Buying at Aldi UK, Julie Ashfield.

 

Chef Vickz, from South-East London, has been a personal chef to Stormzy, amongst other clients, for six years, since qualifying in Patisserie and Confectionary at the University of West London.

 

She says: “Stormzy was looking for a chef and I got put forward, that's how it all started… This Mac & Cheese is his favourite dish.

 

“It’s special as it’s made with short rib, which has been slow roasted for a very long time.

 

“It would be the opportunity of a lifetime to have my product in Aldi, I want to be able to cook for thousands.”

 

Multi award-winning rapper and singer-songwriter Stormzy will send his well wishes to the chef via a cameo on the show: “Vick we’re rooting for you, we love you, you’re the best. Hurry up and get back…I’m hungry!”

 

Aldi’s Next Big Thing is available to watch on Channel 4 every Tuesday at 8pm for six weeks from 2nd April.

Also appearing on the first episode of Aldi’s Next Big Thing is: 

• Halal Wagyu Pastrami – Wolverhampton

Brothers and third generation butchers, Adnaan and Manny are hoping their halal take on wagyu pastrami will make it onto the shelves of Aldi. Inspired by the British classics they saw on TV growing up, but couldn’t eat as they weren’t halal, the brothers chose to specialise in cured meat alternatives such as beef bacon, halal wagyu pastrami and lamb ham.

• Rainbow Burgers – East Sussex

Leo of Leonati Catering is hoping his colourful burgers will catch the judge’s eyes. Leo prides himself on working with local suppliers and ensuring his beef is grass fed and organically reared, just as nature intended.

• Vegan Toad in the Hole - Manchester

Tired of missing out on their favourite part of a roast dinner - the Yorkshire pudding - vegan couple, Lauren and Sophie set up Mabel’s kitchen, offering egg and dairy-free takes on British dinner-time classics. The pair, who are passionate about animal welfare, sustainability and making switching to plant-based alternatives easy for all, are hoping to impress with their dairy-free take on the humble toad in the hole.

• Pasta Bombs – Cumbria

Ex-restaurant chef, Lee, is hoping his ingenious Pasta Bombs, which use off cuts of ground charcuterie, intended to add a hint of ‘umami’ to dishes, will wow the judges. Lee honed his twenty years of experience working in award-winning restaurants, to set up his free-range farm and zero-waste smokehouse with his wife Rochelle, producing ethical, 100% British and prize-winning charcuterie for the local community.

• Crabulous Crabcakes – Southampton

Hayley or ‘The Codmother’ as she’s affectionally known, is hoping to win the judges hearts hook, line and sinker, with her zero-waste, Great Taste award-winning crabcakes. Hayley got the idea to create her sustainable fish and crabcake business, after working with a group of fishermen, helping them to sell their surplus brown crab meat.

It is truly a pleasure to welcome Thorbjørn Fink, COO of Pleo to The Cashflow Show Xtra in association with Podcast Radio Business.

In this episode, I sit down with Thorbjørn Fink to discuss; Expense Management, Systems, Salaries, Employee Empowerment & Satisfaction, Working From Home & Should Remote Workers Be Paid Less?

SHOULD WE PAY REMOTE WORKERS LESS? IMPROVING OVERSIGHT OF BUSINESS OUTGOINGS SHOULD BE NO 1 PRIORITY BEFORE CHANGES ARE MADE, SAY PLEO

The majority of UK SMBs are optimistic at the start of 2024, with 49% saying the year will be easier than 2023. But it remains that 25% are looking to reduce outgoings as high costs continue to impact operations.

One key area they will look to do this is by rethinking their approach to remote working with 20% exploring whether they can reduce pay for remote workers.

However, with 27% lacking confidence in their financial ability to recruit in 2024, this should be done with caution. Before attempting this, a firm should have a strong financial visibility and assess all areas.

But, only 36% report feeling they have a good grip on their expenditure, and only 28% have strong visibility of their financial health and performance.

Pleo COO, Thorbjørn Fink believes that, for businesses to meet their revenue growth and saving goals of 2024, they need to ensure they have full visibility and insights into all outgoings.

“When there is real pressure on financial growth, companies can no longer afford to silo their outgoings into expenses and spend. Choosing to ignore low-cost items means CFOs are needlessly putting blinkers on and, in the process, only getting half of the spend management picture,” he says

This comes as the data reveals 20% treat business spend and expenses as two separate outgoings streams, with 23% “not too bothered” about tracking smaller expenses.

Pleo is the Europe’s leading spend management platform for SMBs, compiling and streamlining all outgoings to provide leaders with contemporaneous and exhaustive insight on operations.
