Calum James, General Manager of Farizon UK, joins Paul and Sara to talk about what it actually takes to land a brand new electric van marque in one of the world's most demanding fleet markets.Calum walks through Farizon's lineage inside the Geely group - the same family tree as Volvo, Polestar, Lotus, LEVC and the Mercedes-Benz Smart joint venture - and the role of Jameel Motors, the 80-year-old distributor putting the brand on UK roads. He explains why the SV (Super Van) and the newly launched V7e are built ground-up as EVs rather than adapted from combustion platforms, and why details like a standard ventilated seat, three-pin sockets in the load bay and a payload monitoring system are aimed squarely at fleet managers worried about driver welfare, compliance and downtime.The conversation digs into: Farizon's "fast follower” playbook and why the SV picked up MCFT's fleet after a TCO comparison that delivered £1,500–£2,000 per van per year in savings The AA partnership that puts mobile service, maintenance and repair on a 72-hour SLA - built around owner-operators who can't afford a day off the road What Calum and Paul Kirby saw at the Beijing Motor Show: driverless Farizon vans on public roads, robotic 500kW chargers, and the gap between legacy OEMs that dream the future and Chinese manufacturers shipping it The V7e's sub-£200-mile range, 1.3-tonne payload and 18-minute 80% rapid charge — and why charging speed has overtaken range anxiety as the fleet conversation ZEV mandate pressure (10% market share against a 24% target), the shifting TCO maths as Middle East fuel volatility bites, and why 95% of electric van buyers are still fleets Calum's path from part-time chef and Swindon banking grad to 11 years at Mercedes-Benz vans, and the leaders who shaped how he runs the team now Regenerative leadership, the anonymous fortnightly mood meter Farizon publishes uncensored to its leadership team, and why Calum walks his dog around the same lake twice a day to stay grounded LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/calum-j-b4328059/Website: https://farizonauto.co.uk

Swindon. The epicentre of the global drone industry? As unlikely as it might seem, the Wiltshire town could soon be just that. But instead of taking advantage of the cutting-edge weaponry being developed in the area, the UK is falling behind in the deployment of this potentially decisive technology. Conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East have shown just how vital drones are in modern warfare – used as they are to such brutal effect on the front line. But while the US and Ukraine are buying British, the Ministry of Defence has yet to commit to large-scale investment in our own drone capabilities. So, why is the UK dragging its feet? And how vulnerable does that leave the country at this time of increased global volatility? Mhari Aurora speaks to Sky's security and defence editor Deborah Haynes.

Ali Al-Hassan is the walking embodiment of work hard, play hard — a young dentist who's gone from associate to super associate, practice co-owner and globe-trotter, all while building a following that brings patients straight to his chair. In this episode, he and Payman get into what really separates an ordinary associate from a "super" one: bringing in your own patients, owning your fees, and treating social media as your digital shop front. There's honest talk about outworking self-doubt, the awards debate, a vexatious GDC referral that came out of nowhere, and a wild Covid-era trading story that took a £50k bounce-back loan to seven figures and most of the way back down again. Threaded throughout is a simple philosophy — do the thing, do it thousands of times, and let it compound. You'll come away with plenty to think about, whether you're weighing up your own brand or just wondering how one person fits in this much living.In This Episode00:02:30 - Work hard, play hard 00:08:10 - Growing up and family 00:14:30 - The inflection point 00:17:30 - Associate vs super associate 00:24:40 - Social media and the first Invisalign open day 00:33:15 - Tenacity and outworking self-doubt 00:39:05 - Niching down 00:49:50 - Cornerstones of safe GDP ortho 00:53:50 - Blackbox thinking 00:59:30 - The GDC referral 01:08:45 - Compounding and word of mouth 01:09:45 - Dental Opulence 01:18:55 - The awards debate 01:25:35 - Travel and friendships 01:29:25 - Working with Robbie 01:32:05 - The Covid trading story 01:42:25 - Examinations and case acceptance 01:48:05 - Composite bonding approach 01:54:50 - Finishing teeth upside down 01:56:25 - Fantasy dinner party 02:00:25 - Last days and legacyAbout Ali Al-HassanAli Al-Hassan, known online as Doctor Ali, is a Cardiff-trained dentist working across practices in Swindon, the Midlands and London, with a focus on Invisalign and composite.

She discusses the integration of hybrid working and their unique business-focused mindset.

Hosted by Fiona Scott, today's podcast welcomes Sean Harper, co-founder of Just For Fun Holiday Club which provides childcare services through their clubs across the Swindon, Wiltshire area.Sean joins Fiona to share with PR Not BS listeners on the ins and outs of running a holiday club business and shines a light on how he fell into becoming a business owner.Fiona kicks off her chat with Sean by asking about Just For Fun and his experience of co-founding a business for 9 years.“Year on year we've just got bigger and, hopefully, better,” Sean said.Sean begins his conversation with Fiona by talking about his career history and experience working in the education and childcare sector and how Just For Fun emerged as a business venture in his late 20s/early 30s. Sean looks fondly back at the first ever Just For Fun holiday club.“I always say that summer was the best summer since we started because we were naïve to what was to come. It was easy and free flowing.”Knowing their first club was a success, Just For Fun ventured into wrap-around care and more holiday clubs at multiple sites across Swindon. Sean chats about the day-to-day life of managing a holiday club and how Swindon's Holiday Activities and Food (HAF) programme has changed how he approaches inclusion at his clubs. Sean delves into how his passion for working with children and young people developed over time, discussing how his upbringing and personality informed his choice to enter into this field.“Being a role model felt like a natural step for me and I moved into education at 20 or 21.”Sean speaks about always working in this sector and having a full-time job alongside his business. He speaks candidly about his realisation that running both was having a detrimental impact on his life. Therefore, Sean details leaving his job to focus on Just For Fun full time, but he felt stuck.“There was no clear direction [for the business] for how to market and who we needed to reach out to,” he said. “We just got through every month but we didn't really know what we were doing and we reached out to you.”After noticing where he needed help, Sean contacted Scott Media for support and advice. Sean shares the importance of PR and being active on social media. He also speaks about how his focus on PR has fuelled him to keep developing.“It enabled me to look at people to connect with I had never thought of. I always thought it would be parents, but I didn't think to reach out to companies,” he said “PR opened my eyes to opportunities of where we could take the business and expand relationships.”Sean comments on how he thrives on ‘the chase' in business, as he's got a hunger to develop which pushes him forward. “I am not a good businessman! The decisions I make are more emotionally led than financially led.”“I think you absolutely are,” said Fiona. “Good businesspeople always know that they have something to learn, once you think you've become perfect, that's the day you stop.”Sean discusses what the future holds for him and his business. That his next steps towards merchandising and commitment to PR will be his focus.“If you see someone with your logo on, you're not just a quick one or two year business, you've been around for a while and seeing kids with a t-shirt, jumper, or bottle - they've bought into our brand.”Whilst Sean divulges how he doesn't know what the future holds, listeners can expect to her the reality of running a holiday club, not the BS!Tune in now to hear all the details.To contact Just For Fun, visit their website: www.justforfunholidayclub.co.ukFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/justforfunholidayclub.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/justforfunholidayclub.comTo get in touch with Fiona and the Scott Media team, visit www.scottmedia.ukJoin our free Facebook group at: https://www.facebook.com/groups/prtribe 

Welcome to Audio EXP episode 334. This week, we examine a fascinating workplace shift as Mongoose Publishing challenges remote-work standards by requiring video marketing presence in its job postings. We also examine Kickstarter backtracking on its mature content rules after intense creator backlash, Modiphius handing Achtung! Cthulhu over to community creators, and Atomic Ninja Studios suddenly shutting its doors. Plus, we celebrate James Wallis partnering with 9th Level Games, highlight the massive 73-million-vote winners from the Crunchyroll Anime Awards including My Hero Academia FINAL SEASON and Gachiakuta, and share our pre-expo plan for Bronwen to fight off the podcast technical gremlins next week.s. About Audio EXP Audio EXP is Geek Native's podcast. Each week, there's some favourite or exciting geeky news, conventions, interviews, and thought pieces. The average length of the podcast is around 10 minutes. You will find a transcript of this week's podcast and links to the stories mentioned here: https://www.geeknative.com/236151/audio-exp-334-mongooses-swindon-mandate-modiphius-line-closures-and-crunchyrolls-big-winners/

At Mongoose Publishing HQ in Swindon, Christopher Griffen discusses Pioneer, a Traveller-adjacent RPG that swaps space opera for near-future, science-based exploration. Built with input from NASA engineer Sandy Antunes and other writers, Pioneer uses familiar Traveller mechanics but shifts focus to missions, survival, and human-versus-environment challenges rather than combat.

Earlier this year, Russ and Jess went to visit Mongoose Publishing (who make Traveller, Paranoia, and a bunch of other awesome games) at their headquarters in Swindon. Part of that day included an interview with Mongoose CEO Matt Sprange (rhymes with 'strange'), which we're presenting here in full. Note--the audio quality isn't great in this one, as we didn't have our podcasting microphones with us, but we hope you'll bear with it as the interview itself is well worth the listen! We also made a 30-minute video about our visit, meeting the staff, touring the offices, having lunch, looking at things on walls, sitting on chairs, all sorts of things. Parts of (but not all of) this interview feature in that short documentary, which you can find here on our YouTube channel--which is also where you can find the livestreamed versions of the regular podcast.  In this interview Matt Sprange, CEO of Mongoose Publishing, discusses the company's history, flagship games like Traveller and Paranoia, creative processes, and the challenges and successes they've faced over the years. He also explains Mongoose's employee ownership approach, workplace culture, and practical benefits for staff.

Jay Rayner is joined by chefs, cooks and food writers, Tim Hayward, Lerato, Melissa Thompson and Angela Gray at the Swindon Arts Centre to talk roast pork, tuna and the items they would add to a railway buffet.With Swindon's pig‑hill roots in mind, the panellists explore what makes the perfect roast pork, from choosing the right cut to methods of achieving proper crackling.They also discuss how cheesy a cheesecake should really be, whether steaks should be thick or thin, and relive some discomfort as they describe the foods that they feel should never be eaten cold.And, as World Tuna Day approaches, opinions are divided on canned tuna, with the panel debating oil versus brine and offering ideas to take this ingredient far beyond the realms of tuna mayo and pasta bakes.Producer: Dan Cocker Assistant Producer: William NortonA Somethin' Else production for BBC Radio 4

On November 28, 2017, 34 year old Tarryn Baird, who lived in Swindon, a town in southwest England, about 80 miles from London, called the police non emergency line. When the police answered, Tarryn told them that she needed them to come get rid of a body - her body- because she was going to kill herself.

Scot and Jeff discuss the first part of XTC's career (1977-1983) with Andrew Gretes.   Introducing the Band: Your hosts Scot Bertram (@ScotBertram) and Jeff Blehar (@EsotericCD) with guest Andrew Gretes. Andrew is a fiction writer teaching creative rhetoric at Georgetown and George Washington University. You can find his work at andrewgretes.com. Andrew's Music Pick: XTC There may be no language in our lungs to tell the world just how we feel about this band, but here we give you a three-hour explanation -- with many clips to illustrate where words fail -- why XTC is arguably the great lost group of the rock era. In the early Seventies, in a rural English nowheresville named Swindon, songwriters Andy Partridge and Colin Moulding got together with local drum-thwacker Terry Chambers to form a local trio with decidedly quirky, non-chart sensibilities. Later they were joined by keyboardist Barry Andrews and began to slowly build a national profile in the (by then) post-punk scene. And only slightly later than that, they decided they were interested in developing those chart sensibilities after all -- but without dropping even one bit of their quirk.  But the story of this band is best told by their music -- and it's practically criminal that it isn't universally celebrated this world over. A decades-long career filled with nothing but one sparklingly intelligent post-punk and pop gem after another, XTC was always out of step with their times, always resolutely unassimilable to the true mainstream, always just a bit too self-consciously thoughtful.  And eventually they made their grudging peace with it, resigned to always be that “great” group that might have scored a hit or two, might have bubbled around the Top 20 every few years or so during the 1980s, but whose impact was heard in the countless subsequent groups they influenced. The story of XTC is a musical tale that will inspire anyone who cares about true songcraft, one filled with immense optimism and joy as well as some of the bitterest sociological observations to be put into British song.  Political Beats has been building up to its XTC episodes (this is the first of two) ever since the day the podcast was founded. The second part of their story is every bit as impressive -- and different -- as the first. All hail the amazing crash-boom-band. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

They've done it again. Twice over the Easter weekend United let a 1-0 lead slip out of their grasp in stoppage time. Thursday's performance against Swindon gave us a few positives to cling onto, Monday's showing and the result that comes with it give very, very little. On this week's review show, Tom and Jord are competing for who feels the most frustrated in their summary of the game.Subscribe to the Coconut Tier to get:

In this episode of Molecule to Market, you'll go inside the outsourcing space of the global drug development sector with Alessandro Maselli, President and Chief Executive Officer at Catalent and Franco Negron is the Chief Executive Officer at Simtra BioPharma Solutions.   Your host, Raman Sehgal, discusses the pharmaceutical and biotechnology ecosystem with his esteemed guests during a live fireside chat at the DCAT Morgan Stanley CDMO CEO Dinner.   Alessandro Maselli is the President and Chief Executive Officer of Catalent, having assumed the CEO role in July 2022 after serving as the company's President and Chief Operating Officer since February 2019.  He has been with Catalent since 2010 and has played a central role in shaping the company into one of the world's leading contract development and manufacturing organizations serving pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and consumer health customers globally.   Alessandro joined Catalent as Director of Operations at the company's pharmaceutical, nutrition, and cosmetics facility in Italy. Over the course of more than a decade, he progressed through a series of increasingly senior leadership roles, including General Manager of the Zydis® operations in Swindon, U.K., Vice President of Operations for Europe within the Drug Delivery Solutions business, and Senior Vice President of Global Operations. In these roles, he oversaw multi-site global manufacturing networks, large-scale capacity expansions, and complex technology platforms across oral solid dose, biologics, and advanced delivery modalities.   As Chief Executive Officer, Alessandro led Catalent through the COVID-19 pandemic, during which the company played a critical role in the global response by supporting vaccine and therapeutic manufacturing at unprecedented scale. More recently, he has overseen Catalent's transition to private ownership following its $16.5 billion acquisition by Novo Holdings, positioning the company for long-term investment and growth as a privately held global CDMO.   Prior to joining Catalent, Mr. Maselli held a range of operational and business leadership roles at ABB Group, Alstom, and SGS, gaining extensive experience in industrial automation, engineering, and large-scale manufacturing operations. He began his career as an automation systems engineer in the food industry. In addition to his executive role, Alessandro serves on the Board of Directors of Graphic Packaging Holding Company, to which he was appointed in May 2025. He holds bachelor's and master's degrees in electronic engineering from the University of Rome and is a native of Italy.   Franco Negron is the Chief Executive Officer of Simtra BioPharma Solutions, a leading sterile injectable contract development and manufacturing organization formed following the divestiture of Baxter International's BioPharma Solutions business. He was appointed CEO in 2023 by Advent International and Warburg Pincus to lead the business as an independent, private-equity-backed CDMO focused on clinical-to-commercial parenteral manufacturing. Franco is an industry veteran with nearly 30 years of pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical experience, bringing deep expertise across sterile manufacturing, commercial operations, and global supply chain leadership. Prior to joining Simtra, he served as Chief Executive Officer of ApiJect Systems America, a medical technology company focused on advanced drug-delivery and injection systems. Earlier in his career, he held senior executive roles at Thermo Fisher Scientific, where he served as President of Commercial Operations, and at Patheon Pharmaceuticals, where he was President of Development and Commercial Operations, North America, playing a key role in scaling Patheon's CDMO platform prior to its $7.2 billion acquisition by Thermo Fisher in 2017.   Franco has also held leadership positions at several major pharmaceutical companies, including Vice President of Manufacturing and Supply at Valeant Pharmaceuticals, Global Vice President within Novartis' Consumer Health division, and Site General Manager at McNeil Consumer Healthcare.   Across these roles, he developed a reputation for operational excellence, customer-centric leadership, and the ability to lead complex manufacturing organizations through periods of transformation and growth. As CEO of Simtra, Franco is leading the company through its next phase of expansion, focused on strengthening its sterile fill-finish capabilities, advancing technical differentiation, and investing in capacity to support increasing demand for injectable biologics, vaccines, and complex parenteral products   Molecule to Market is also sponsored by Bora Pharmaceuticals, and supported by Lead Candidate.

Floppy Days 160 - The KayPro, Part 4, with Matt Jones Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/FloppyDays Sponsors: 8-Bit Classics  Arcade Shopper  FutureVision Research  Tuc's Workbench  YouTube Channel: https://www.YouTube.com/@floppydayspodcast  Hello, and welcome to episode 160 of the Floppy Days Podcast for February, 2026.  I'm Randy Kindig, your host.  We are currently covering computers introduced in the year 1982 and, to that end, we are at the tail end of a series of podcasts about the Kaypro line of computers.  Kaypro had a rich and varied family of computers; certainly much more so than I ever realized.  I was able to interview David Kay, son of the founder of KayPro, and president of the company for some time, in the first two episodes.  Last month, Matthew Jones, an aficionado of the KayPro computers and owner of many of the models, helped me talk about KayPro history, tech specs, and more, through the topic of using the machine.  This month Matt and I complete the KayPro series by starting with books and magazines and ending with current Web sites and a lot more content in between. I will have a video version of this episode posted to the Floppy Days Podcast channel on YouTube (https://www.YouTube.com/@floppydayspodcast ) that will be available for everyone soon (after the early access period for Patreon supporters has expired).  So, please consider becoming a subscriber on YouTube.  Doing so helps support the podcast. You will hear ads from some great vintage computer stores, themselves vintage computer fans, throughout the early part of this podcast.  For all of these storefronts, when you place an order, please mention Floppy Days in the notes or comments of the order.  Doing so will help support the podcast.  Many thanks!!

Four games, two wins, one draw and one defeat, but that doesn't do justice to the transformation we saw against Swindon. We try to dissect the last four games.

This season in a change to what we normally do Pete Nordsted & Jimmy Kempton  will start looking at games from the EFL as well as the Premier League.This weeks matches we look at the following:Premier League: West Ham v Sunderland, Newcastle v A Villa. Championship: Blackburn v Watford & Leicester v OxfordLeague One: Doncaster v Wigan & Rotherham v WimbledonLeague Two: Bromley v Swindon & MK Dons v Shrewsburyhttps://tradeonsports.co.uk

FLOPPY DAYS 159 - The KayPro - Part 3 With Matt Jones Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/FloppyDays Sponsors: 8-Bit Classics Arcade Shopper and https://thekeep.net FutureVision Research Tuc's Workbench  Hello, and welcome to episode 159 of the Floppy Days Podcast for January, 2026.  I'm Randy Kindig, your host.  We are currently covering computers introduced in the year 1982 and, to that end, we are currently in the middle of a series of podcasts about the Kaypro line of computers.  Kaypro had a rich and varied family of computers; certainly much more so than I ever realized.  I was able to interview David Kay, son of the founder of KayPro, and president of the company for some time, in the previous two episodes.  This month we'll delve into history, tech specs, and more, through the topic of using the machine.  Next month we'll complete the series by starting with books and magazines and ending with current Web sites and a lot more content in between. I will have a video version of this episode posted to the Floppy Days Podcast channel on YouTube. You will hear ads from some great vintage computer stores, themselves vintage computer fans, throughout the early part of this podcast.  For all of these storefronts, when you place an order, please mention Floppy Days in the notes or comments of the order.  Doing so will help support the podcast.  Many thanks!! I also wanted to mention those listeners who appreciate the show enough to donate through patreon.com.   I really appreciate you guys and it helps offset the cost of running the podcast. Regarding that, I've created some tiers for paid members and have come up with some ways to reward those who are generous enough to monetarily support the Floppy Days Podcast on Patreon (https://www.patreon.com/FloppyDays ), such as early access to videos of interviews like the one being brought to you in audio form in this episode.  Visit Patreon to see more details concerning the rewards for supporters . I just want to say that it is my intention to always make all content available to everyone at no cost, while at the same time providing some benefits for those generous enough to support the podcast. I hope you agree I've come up with a good compromise Please let me know your thoughts. Enjoy!!
