Cyber attacks and surviving Amazon - with Currys CEO Alex Baldock
Description
What is it like to have a window into the spending habits of 80 percent of British households? Alex Baldock knows very well. As the chief executive of Currys, he leads one of the nation’s biggest retailers, a job that involves overseeing hundreds of bricks and mortar stores across six countries - and some 24,000 employees.
Alex joins Hannah and Dom to talk about how a retail business survives - and thrives - in the era of one-click online shopping, why cyber attacks are a daily threat, and what he wants to see from Rachel Reeves's Budget. Plus, Black Friday and why the LED face mask has joined the air fryer as the must have item this Christmas.
