Weir Group's CEO talks about the engineering firm's global ambitions. Plus, are free business lunches threatened by new legislation?

Graham Stewart with the stories and issues making the news in business.

As Keith Cochrane clocks up a year as chief executive of Weir Group, Gillian Marles asks him about the Glasgow engineering firm's elevation to the FTSE-100, its new acquisition in India and the company's global ambitions.

Could the days of lavish business lunches be over? Aisha Anwar, a partner in DLA Piper's Litigation and Regulatory Group in Glasgow, says under the Bribery Act companies have to be very careful, or they could end up in court.

And joining us throughout the programme are Howard Wheeldon, senior strategist with brokers BGC Partners, and Marcus Kneen, chief finance officer with Edinburgh-based Indigo Vision.
