BREAKFAST SHOW on Radio 2 'Challenges all the things we thought we
knew about business.' Sam Baker __________ How we live, buy and
sell is changing, and it's changing for good. Rebuild is a vital
guide to how we reset post-pandemic and build back better. Retail
and brand expert Mary Portas argues that over the past thirty years
the business of what we buy has been dominated by the biggest,
fastest and cheapest. But those values no longer resonate. We've
come to realize that more doesn't equal better. We are all ready to
put people and planet before profit. This 'Kindness Economy' is a
new value system where in order to thrive businesses must
understand the fundamental role they play in the fabric of our
lives. Because we don't just want to buy from brands - we want to
buy into them. Full of expert insight and invaluable advice,
Rebuild is about resetting the dial. It gives businesspeople pause
for thought about how to make money, as well as the practical tools
to build back post-pandemic. And it speaks to anyone who votes with
the pound in their pocket - all of us who, with social progress in
mind, want to spend our money differently and better. _________

* THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER * Young Mary Newton, born into a
large Irish family in a small Watford semi, was always getting into
trouble. When she wasn't choking back fits of giggles at Holy
Communion or eating Chappie dog food for a bet, she was
accidentally setting fire to the local school. Mary was a trouble
magnet. And, unlike her brothers, somehow she always got caught...
Britain in the 1970s was a world where R White's lemonade was drunk
in secret, curry came in a cardboard box marked Vesta and Beanz
meant Heinz. In Mary's family, money was scarce. Clothes were
hand-me-downs, holidays a church day out to Hastings and meals were
variations on the potato. But these were also good times which
revolved around the force of nature that was Theresa, Mary's mum.
When tragedy unexpectedly blows this world apart, a new chapter in
Mary's life opens up. She takes to the camp and glamour of Harrods
window dressing like a duck to water, and Mary, Queen of Shops is
born...
