Podcasts about Greggs

Even though Eddie and Gary are on the rebuild, they're still somehow busier than a Greggs on match day. Gary's had a short stay in the comparison trap, but a chance encounter with a real‑life hero gave him the reality check he needed.Both hosts also find themselves openly thirsting over an A‑list movie star. Zero shame from both. We also sing the praises of the humble home gym. We're not talking squat racks. We mean the trusty dumbbell, a couple of resistance bands, and a yoga mat.And to round things off, the coaches chat about the simple brilliance of taking a map out on the trails. Old‑school. Reliable and it doesn't run out of battery halfway up a mountain.HARRIER - Use code TATP10 for 10% off - https://harrierrunfree.avln.me/c/qXhnTgIdEMeaXMILES UK - Listeners receive 10% of their order value back as store credit via the link - https://xmiles.avln.me/c/RiwxnARvfHeRFENIX LIGHT LTD - Use code T&T5 for 5% - https://www.fenixlight.co.uk/PRECISION FUEL & HYDRATION - Use code TEA2026 for 15% off your first orderPRECISION FUEL & HYDRATION PLANNER - https://visit.pfandh.com/3RuP25zSTRAVA - Use code TEA for 20% off an annual membership - #StravaPartner #Adhttps://www.strava.com/subscribe/checkout?code=TEASUNGOD - Use code TEA15 for 15% off your order - https://www.sungod.co/en-gbBEARHUG - Click the link to receive 15% off your order.https://getabearhug.avln.me/c/mtOmrcHyImJoContent contains affiliate links which help support this channel at no cost to you.Brew with the Coaches - CLICK HEREHardmoors - https://www.hardmoors110.org.uk/Trail Outlaws - https://www.trailoutlaws.com/13 Valleys Ultra - https://www.13valleysultra.com/Beyond Trails - https://www.beyondtrails.co.uk/Hellfire Events - https://www.hellfireevents.com/Dales Runner - https://dalesrunner.co.uk/Run The Wild - https://runthewild.co.uk/Hannah Walsh - https://www.hannahwalsh.co.uk/Punk Panther - https://www.punkpanther.co.uk/Pen Llyn Ultra - https://penllyn.niftyentries.com/Raw Adventures - https://www.raw-adventures.co.uk/XNRG - https://www.xnrg.co.uk/

Greetings and welcomeHope all is well out there.This week is chapter 5 of Way of the Kip. Chapter belowI was away last week so no podcast. My latest rap EP - More 64s of Boredom is out for stream / download pretty much everywhere. Links belowHave a great weekendPaulBANDCAMPSPOTIFTYAPPLEhttps://music.apple.com/gb/album/more-64s-of-boreddom-ep/6772325154QOBUZhttps://www.qobuz.com/us-en/album/more-64s-of-boreddom-paul-cree/db5vajegkhjwmAMAZONhttps://music.amazon.co.uk/albums/B0H2NL275KYOUTUBECHAPTER 5 – Way of the KipNo matter how mellow the alarm sound I selected, it's like the blower had grown go-go-gadget arms during the night; and with every polyphonic note the phone made, it jabbed at my eardrums with brass knuckles.Made a blind grab for the phone, grappling for the off-button; dropping the thing on the floor. Quick inhale then swung my legs out the side of the bed, felt the cold on my shins. Slowly sat up, half opened my eyes and stared at my old red football shorts; covering my thighs. The M was missing from the name. U BRO. Another breath then acknowledged the waking pain of the day. Routine, but this one hit harder. The feeling that I'd only just got to sleep five minutes before was normal; this time it came gift-wrapped with something extra that I couldn't yet identify.The thread had come loose along the right side of my shorts and the red colour had long since faded; reminding me when my first goldfish (Mgoldrik) slowly stopped being gold and faded out like a photograph, till he got the final flush to the hallowed burial grounds of the New Town sewage treatment.I'd had those shorts for a good ten years. Well, ten years, don't know if it was all that good. Ten years back was probably the last time I had a kick-about. I reckoned I could still thread a pass, tho.The phone bleeted again. Picked it up and switched it off. Next to the blower was the tissue. Of course. I heard a chuckle over my left shoulder; my neck slowly turned towards it.October's Frank Lampard was grinning, while making a hand gesture, mimicking the one I would've made probably about three hours before. Underneath him sat that sedate sandalwood candle. Sandalwood, the scent of failure.‘You mug. You think it's that easy? Pull the other one, son.'And there it was. The bow on the present. Frank was right. I'd convinced myself just one simple purchase from Tesco was going to solve all my sleep problems. Mug. Why was it always like this anytime I tried to do something to improve my life?I'd hit sombre season; just didn't see it coming, I should've. The life-cycle of idea, obsession, rushed execution, disappointment, embarrassment, guilt and finally numbness was complete. It was ever thus. Perfected this little routine sometime back in school. A sigh this time. I slowly stood up, closed my eyes, breathed again, opened my eyes; then cracked on to the bathroom.The walk to Streatham Hill station was slow. I tried to rationalise the whole candle caper; it's not like I'd done something super-shameful, yet I felt similar to how I would, had I downed six post-work pints on an empty tummy, said some stupid stuff about society then spewed on the train back and woke up in West Norwood. Like the week before. So why was I feeling so low?Despite the multiple signs and announcements about no bikes in rush-hour, some plank wearing a tool-belt was trying to get on the train with a mountain-bike and arguing with a couple of commuters. It was a packed-platform and the 7:15 was already rammed when it rolled in. I don't think the geezer was English. Probably Polish but then what did I know; I was probably just a bigot, lacking sleep.Bike-man gave up eventually and reluctantly battled his way to the back of the platform, muttering some harsh syllables in a language I didn't understand. A few commuters grumbled then chins went back to sternums, eyes to papers, ears to headphones and no more was said.Standing room only on the train. I was shunted down to that no-mans land between two seat-backs with nothing to hold onto; just the sandwich of two bods to wobble between. Couldn't even get my ipod out. Probably a good thing, I would've almost certainly drawn for the tear-jerkers.Once I'd fallen out the train at Victoria and swiped my ticket; I liven-ed up a bit on the bop down Victoria Street. My mind was preparing potential small-talk scenarios about what I did last night. Needed to deflect any genuine curiosity beyond the basics. Nothing much; just a bit of Sky Sports News; what did you do? That was the best I could come up with.Did the regular eyes-right to Westminster Cathedral and thought of Nan taking me and my sister in there when we were nippers. Much to her disappointment, we'd slipped to the lowest tier of membership in the Catholic club. First Easter got dropped, then even Christmas, now it was attend-mass-only-by-invite; weddings and funerals. The basic package. Still, I always acknowledged its presence on the daily graft-march to purgatory. I liked that it was there. It quietly maintained its magnificence on a suffocatingly dull street full of civil-serving concrete office blocks.Up ahead I saw Pete going through the glass doors into the office, clutching a copy of the Sun and a Greggs paper bag; most likely containing two steak-bakes. From distance, I could tell he was whistling a tune.Quick breath, through the doors then fist-bumped Sammy on security then straight into the lift. Thankfully no one from my floor was in there. Doors open and into the open-plan, strip-lit-sweat-pit. Quick breath then ran the gauntlet, arrowing straight to my desk hoping not to catch any eyes of conversation.‘How was your sleep Reece, did you have sweet dreams?'Shaz caught me off guard. Almost stopped. Out of some politeness, I turned my torso; it hurt.‘Erm, yea, it was alright, you?'‘You know she's taken don't you?'‘Who's taken?'‘Bianca'‘Eh?'When she said Bianca, she lifted the A and N then pushed down on the C and the A, kissed her teeth and turned back to her desk and her bowl of muesli. It was a shame Shaz was fit because I really disliked her. Clearly the feeling was mutual; certainly, on the dis-liking. She also had a boyfriend, Trey, who looked like he could handle himself, like Dan. Hero.The last thing I needed now was an office-rumour about me fancying Bianca. Like Shaz, she was also quite attractive just less acerbic and a lot more dim. Why was she telling Shaz about my sleep problems? That was a liberty.Managed to get through the morning mostly without incident. Priah came and inspected my screen once or twice; but despite being sleep-deprived I was managing to hold my focus and processed a bunch of claims.About 11 o clock, Priah sent an email round saying Monique from Essential Skills was coming in for part two of the bias training. I raised an eyebrow at this, as I wasn't aware there was a part 2 and I was beginning to question wether this was an Essential Skill. I was about to compose a witty response to Diane, making sure it wasn't to Priah this time but then clocked my name wasn't on the list of attendees. Pete wasn't on there either. I'd must've missed the bit where it said Ladies Night? What the flip was this? A day at the races? Either that or some oiled-up alpha was coming in dressed as a fireman to swing it about, while they all screamed and giggled. Maybe it was Dan and Trey. I could only conclude that birds had more bias to flush out than geezers, and if Shaz's snidey little remark was anything to go by, my theory was correct.Came back from lunch and Saw Monique from Essential Skills in the meeting room, setting up the power point. Once the Spice Girls had filed into the glass menagerie I took it as an opportunity and go make a cup of tea.Pete came into the kitchen, whistling. He had another greasy bag from Greggs containing two sausage rolls.‘Surprised you're not in there, mate.' He said.‘What, girls-club?'‘Girls and gays, ‘aint figured which you one you are yet, son'‘Gay? Who's gay in there?‘Pretty sure I saw Keith go in just now.'‘Boring Keith's in the training?!'Sure enough, I stuck my head out, looked across the office floor and in amongst the well-maintained ladies barnets was Boring Keith, with his little glasses, big belly and tiny mouth; holding his pen, tiny little grin on his boat.‘I didn't know Kieth was gay? I didn't think he was capable of human relationships.'‘What's the problem, Reecy? You enquiring?' He chuckled at this, while he got a plate out of the cupboard.‘Couldn't care less if he's gay. He's still a geezer but he's in there and we aint.'‘Dunno why you're getting stroppy about it Reecey-Boy. You think too much, that's your problem.'‘Yea maybe, just think it's a bit of a double standard.'‘Moan about it all you like, mate. I'm taking advantage. Got an appointment in trap-2, gonna take my time on this one; had a big ruby last night. Then, I'm gonna sit and do my fantasy team and knock off early. I cleared a load of work this morning so when Priah gets out, I'll go here look, I was banging-out claims left, right and centre while you lot was in there. That's how you play it, son.'Off he went, whistling again, clutching his Gregs bag and a plate, then stopped and turned back round.‘Oh yea. Friday afters. The George. Be there. Don't be gay.'And off he went again. I envied him; I don't think he was phased by anything. I looked back across to the glass-menagerie. Monique was pointing at a slide, looking very solemn, though I couldn't tell who was sat where, I could see all eyes were on the screen. It was pure Girl Power. And Kieth. This is a public episode.

As organisations grow, data teams face a familiar challenge - staying focused on what matters while supporting an increasingly complex operation.   In this episode of Hub & Spoken, Jason Foster, CEO & Founder of Cynozure, is joined by Rob Kent, Head of Data and AI at Greggs, to explore what pragmatic data leadership looks like in practice. Rob shares how he prioritises work, aligns data initiatives to business strategy and builds trust with stakeholders across the organisation.   The discussion spans how data supports both running and growing a business, from forecasting and workforce planning to customer engagement and operational decision-making. Rob also offers a candid perspective on measuring impact, explaining why not every initiative can be tied to direct ROI and why some data capability is simply the cost of doing business well.   This episode focuses on clarity over complexity, execution over theory and using data to help people make better decisions every day.   Cynozure is a leading data, analytics and AI company that helps organisations to reach their data potential. It works with clients on data and AI strategy, data management, data architecture and engineering, analytics and AI, data culture and literacy, and data leadership.

From bricks through the window in 1960s Skelmersdale to queues around the block in Liverpool, this is a story of immigrant hunger, insecurity, obsession with standards — and building something that blesses a city. Dan sits down with Nisha Katona — founder of Mowgli Street Food — the woman who turned authentic Indian home cooking into the first national Indian street food chain in Britain. Nisha breaks down why Mowgli was never meant to be a “curry house,” why Hindu home cooking avoids garlic and onion at lunch, and how sitting outside Greggs watching men in high-vis jackets shaped her pricing strategy.We talk about scale, magic, heart, delivery, Empire, authenticity, Nando's, Greggs, and why growth should never be something you're ashamed of.This is a masterclass in building a restaurant brand with soul — and keeping that soul intact across 27 sites.If you care about food, cities, entrepreneurship, culture — or how to turn anxiety into momentum — this one's special.ON THE MENU:00:00 Intro00:54 Is Nisha a Workaholic?02:54 Does Scale Kill Magic in Restaurants?03:13 Treating Every Restaurant Like Your Child04:26 Why She Decorated Mowgli to Fail07:29 The First National Indian Street Food Chain08:44 Curry House vs Authentic Indian Home Cooking11:54 The Four Pillars of Building a Restaurant Brand25:47 Researching Demand Before Opening a Restaurant26:33 Pricing for Men in High-Vis Jackets27:14 Chicken Tikka Masala & Britain's National Dish32:27 Why Mowgli Finally Launched Delivery35:28 Temple Daal: Authentic Indian Home Food41:40 Why Scale Doesn't Kill Magic43:18 Why She Backed Uber Eats in the North44:46 Why Restaurant & Delivery Can Coexist45:51 Restaurants Are Like Cinema for Your Tastebuds59:45 Immigrant Parents, £2 in Their Pocket01:00:50 Growing Up With Racism in 1960s Britain01:27:00 Why She Refuses to Overbuild01:30:48 The £35k vs £285k London Rent Decision

Newcastle upon Tyne is famous for many things: its bridges, nightlife, and being the birthplace of Greggs are just some of them. We've seen plenty of world firsts here, been on the frontline of science and technology, witnessed ethical consumption in the 18th century, and turned a Roman settlement into a city. But our disasters are perhaps less well-known. Newcastle has suffered from plague, fire, flood, and cholera - among other things. Why don't we hear about these as often, if at all? Let's explore the Great Plague of 1636, the Great Flood of 1771, and the Great Fire of 1854 to see what they can tell us about the city we can encounter here in the 2020s in this week's episode of Fabulous Folklore.

What is Chinese tapas? Find out on this week's PlayingFTSE Show!Steve W's had a below-average week, but Steve D is absolutely running away with it. Or at least, he would be if he hadn't had such a big lunch…A year has passed since Steve W thought he saw 30% upside in AG Barr shares, so it's time to check in on that idea. And the results so far have been… mixed.On the one hand, the company has done what it said it would and progress is actually ahead of schedule. On the other hand, however, the stock hasn't responded as expected.Shares in pharmaceutical companies are up across the board this week as Pfizer managed to strike a deal with the US government. And Steve D has the details. Who were the winners and who were the losers? More importantly – what does it mean for investors looking for stocks to buy across the sector? Greggs shares jumped on the firm's Q3 trading update. But Steve W couldn't see anything very good in the FTSE 250 company's report. Sales growth continues to be weak and it's actually started going backwards after some signs of improvement. Steve D, however, has a slightly more positive view…Axcelis shares fell this week on news the company plans to merge with Veeco – a similar business elsewhere in the semiconductor production process. Steve D owns this one.There's nothing unusual in a stock going down in an acquisition deal. But could the cross-selling opportunities and synergies unlocked by the merger make it a smart move?Only on this week's PlayingFTSE Podcast!► Get a free share!This show is sponsored by Trading 212!

Charlene Young and Danni Hewson are your hosts this week, delving into the latest money and markets news. The US government has shut down for the first time since 2018, with Republicans and Democrats locked in a blame game over spending. Danni runs through what this means for markets, the economy, and workers facing unpaid shifts until Washington can agree on a deal. [01:33] Back in the UK, it's Labour Party conference week, Charlene and Danni discuss Rachel Reeves' big speech and the market reaction. We also discuss revised GDP figures, and why households are saving more as economic uncertainty lingers. [06:53] In company news, the CEO of GSK is stepping down, Exxon announces job cuts as part of a restructure, and Greggs serves up a mixed trading update after a summer sales wobble.[12:12] Our guest interview this week is with Jacqueline Broers, Joint Portfolio Manager of the Utilico Emerging Markets Trust, which specialises in infrastructure and investment in emerging markets and has just celebrated its 20th anniversary. [20:59]. Finishing with personal finance, Charlene will outline what you should think about before accessing your pension tax-free cash and how to check if someone you know is missing out on the £1.5 billion in unclaimed child trust funds. [32:43]

Who does Steve D want to open the England batting? Find out on this week's PlayingFTSE Show!It's the end of Q3 and time to check in on the PlayingTSE portfolios. And the last week hasn't been a particularly good one for either Steve.Steve W has finally managed to buy a European stock for his portfolio. It's LVMH, which has actually done quite well over the last three months or so. Elsewhere, there are a couple of new UK additions, one from the FTSE 100 and one from the FTSE 250. But which stock is he thinking about selling in the next three months?Steve D has graduated a couple of stocks up to his main portfolio from the capital incinerator. But he's been reducing his stake in Walt Disney recently. The big buy in the last quarter has been Bloomsbury. But there are also big additions to the likes of Ashtead Technology to bump up the UK exposure.The Britbox has fared pretty badly over the last three months. And it's the usual suspects letting the side down, with Greggs continuing to struggle and Diageo doing badly.The Eurobox has had a reasonable three months, but nothing worth paying fees for. Steve W thinks it's partly due to missing a big boost in defence spending. Only on this week's PlayingFTSE Podcast!► Get a free share!This show is sponsored by Trading 212!

Why do so many workplaces run on bullshit processes and procedures?  And how might Behavioural Science help resolve them?Episode SummaryIn this episode, I sit down with author, speaker and advisor James Healy to explore his book BS at Work — and the everyday nonsense we all recognise inside organisations.James argues that while behavioural science has transformed public policy and consumer behaviour, workplaces have lagged behind. We dig into why leaders keep choosing rituals over results, why nobody seems to ask “does this actually work?”, and how our search for simple answers can make complex systems worse.I ask James to unpack some of his favourite stories, including the strange origins of the DISC personality test — created by Wonder Woman's inventor, complete with “dominance” and “submission” baked in — and the utterly self-parodying experience he had with e-learning about not cheating on e-learning.

Dan chats about a growing trend for parents to help reduce the burden of debt on their children. [12:35] Have you always dreamed of owning a bungalow? You're not alone. Charlene talks about a shortage of bungalows in the UK and why both older and younger people want more of them built. [20:10 New figures reinforce widespread calls to reform the Lifetime ISA. Charlene explains all. [24:42] Our special guest is Isaac Thong, portfolio manager of the Aberdeen Asian Income Fund. Danni Hewson talks to Isaac about why more investors are looking at this part of the world. [29:25]

In this episode Gary Mansfield speaks to Haus of Lucy (@HouseOfLucy) Haus of Lucy is a contemporary multimedia artist based in Sussex, celebrated for her unique fusion of traditional art with modern culture, often delivered with a satirical twist. With a background in magazine design, she made the leap to full-time artistry in 2019 following a high-profile commission for the Adidas flagship store in London. This key opportunity proved transformative, sparking collaborations with brands including Footlocker, Lazy Oaf, Primark, and Greggs. Her work cleverly disrupts classical conventions by inserting unexpected, often humorous elements into familiar scenes. A 15th-century landscape may feature an EasyJet aircraft, or a porcelain tureen might be repurposed as a KFC gravy boat.These imaginative juxtapositions invite viewers to reconsider the relationship between fine art and contemporary consumer culture. In addition to her prints, Lucy reimagines discarded ceramic figurines, turning them into provocative modern characters—like a demure Victorian lady armed with a chainsaw or a cherubic baby dabbling in the dark web. These pieces offer wry social commentary while preserving the nostalgic charm of vintage ornamentation.Working from her Brighton studio, Haus of Lucy continues to intrigue and amuse with work that is both visually striking and intellectually playful.
