📋 New right to work rules are now in force, bringing some of the most significant changes to the regime in recent years.

Effective from 1 October 2026, the updated Home Office code expands right to work obligations beyond traditional employees, introduces new rules around liability in complex labour supply arrangements, and updates requirements for digital right to work checks.

With civil penalties of up to £45,000 per worker for a first offence and £60,000 for repeat offences, now is the time for employers to review their processes, supplier agreements, and compliance procedures.

Keith Rosser, Director of Reed Screening, outlines the key changes and why they matter: https://bit.ly/47jpJf3

How much energy do people spend at work trying to be someone they're not?

In the latest episode of all about business, Ros Morgan, Chief Executive of the Heart of London Business Alliance, reflects on the years she spent suppressing her personality to fit expectations, and why letting go of that idea transformed her effectiveness as a leader.

She also shares why she's built her career by saying "yes" before feeling completely ready, including stepping into her first CEO role in her early twenties with no experience in the sector.

A brilliant conversation on leadership, confidence, authenticity, and the value of learning from others.

🤖 AI adoption is accelerating, but making change stick is the real challenge...

Around 35% of organisations with 10 or more employees are now using AI, yet many workplace transformation programmes fail to become embedded long term. At the same time, organisations where managers successfully translate strategy into practical actions are significantly more likely to see lasting change.

Michele Smith, Managing Director of Reed's technology division, shares five practical ways managers can lead AI-driven change, from translating strategy into everyday actions and engaging employees early, to building confidence and supporting teams through transition.

Building a brand people love takes more than a great idea. It takes staying true to what made it successful in the first place.

In the 100th episode of all about business, James Reed sits down with entrepreneur Cath Kidston MBE to explore the challenges of growing a business without losing its identity.

From building a globally recognised brand to navigating the impact of external investment, Cath shares why defining your values early is critical, why not every decision can be justified on a spreadsheet, and why strong foundations matter more than rapid growth.

One of the biggest lessons? Culture, quality and values are much easier to protect than they are to rebuild.

🎧 Watch or listen now to hear Cath's insights on building a brand people love, scaling sustainably, and knowing when it's time to walk away.

Reed's report, 'The missing generation 2026', explores the policy changes and employer initiatives that could stop a generation of young people slipping through the cracks.

Most founders make one critical mistake when planning their exit.

Guy Singh-Watson didn't.

After growing Riverford Organic Farmers from three acres and a borrowed tractor into a £120m business, he found a way to cash out without selling to private equity or a trade buyer.

In this episode of all about business with James Reed, Guy reveals:

✅ Why he sold shares to employees instead

✅ The costly £2m mistake Riverford nearly made

✅ Why no customer should ever hold too much power

✅ The leadership lesson that's had the biggest impact on his business

A fascinating conversation on ownership, succession and building a company that can outlive its founder.
