About this episode
Will Bain discusses the impact of rising jet fuel costs on emergency services and the pharmacy sector amidst geopolitical tensions, along with insights into the film industry's summer outlook.
Will Bain hears from Air Ambulances UK, who warn rising jet fuel costs could disrupt emergency services, as the war in Iran adds pressure to already stretched charity budgets. Pharmacists were already facing shortages and rising medicine costs before the war in the Middle East. Now, with a reduced oil supply - necessary for both manufacturing and transporting medicines - supply chains are facing further strain. We hear how one boss of multiple pharmacists is managing. And, 20 years on from the The Devil Wears Prada, its sequel is out this Friday. We hear from a cinema boss about how the summer is shaping up for the industry.
