Shopping and Covid

Felicity Hannah and guests answer your questions about how the pandemic has impacted the way we shop. Email moneybox@bbc.co.uk.

There’s no doubt that the pandemic has changed the way we live. But what impact has a year of lockdowns and restrictions had on shopkeepers and shoppers? Has the last year broken the mould for retail?

Many essential shops have been successful during the pandemic with some in suburban or rural areas doing more trade as many people work from home.

As covid restrictions finally ease, will our shopping habits have changed permanently?

Presenter Felicity Hannah is joined by:

Kate Ancketill, founder and CEO, GDR Creative
Catherine Erdly, founder of the Resilient Retail Club and advisor at Enterprise Nation
Bill Grimsey, author of the Grimsey Review.

If you have a question about shopping, city centres or the high street then please get in touch. E-mail moneybox@bbc.co.uk or tweet @MoneyBox.
