Sean also speaks to David Fox, founder and chief executive of Tampopo restaurants, for his thoughts on the first major speech in 2023 by the CBI director general, Tony Danker, about the economic challenges being faced by business in the year ahead. And our colleagues on Business Daily have been looking into the rising cost of living in Germany. Reporter Leanna Byrne joins Sean in the studio to share what she’s learned.
