TV journalist Paul Mason to address GCA delegates on economy and politics

Writer and broadcaster Paul Mason will address delegates at the Garden Centre Association’s 2020 conference in Bristol next month (26-29 January).

 

His talk, on Tuesday 28th will focus on the economy and the political landscape.

 

He said his speech would reflect the importance of our current economic and political times. “I will talk about how the garden centre industry will be affected by the political landscape, whatever that may be in January,” he said

 

“Of course, there will be mention of Brexit also, which is a pertinent subject for all industries. Attendees will be able to take all of my advice back with them to their garden centres and use it in the day-to-day running of their businesses.”

 

Paul has covered all aspects of the UK and global economy, markets, labour and commerce for both Channel 4 and BBC 2.

His role as Channel 4’s Culture and Digital Editor embraced the social, cultural and business impact of the new age of digital and online.

 

As former deputy editor of Computer Weekly, he won the Workworld Business Journalist and Wincott awards for his China reports, and the Diageo African Business Reporting Award for his acclaimed film on how mobile phones are changing the continent.

 

Iain Wylie, chief executive of the GCA, said: “The economy is a hugely important topic for the garden centre industry, so it will be thoroughly interesting to hear what Paul has to say and we will also be keen to hear his views on Brexit and the political landscape and how that can also affect us as an industry.”

 

The GCA’s 2020 conference will be held at Mercure Bristol, Grand Hotel.You can book places here www.gca.org.uk.
