Dear readers,

Something a little different for today’s edition - the first of what will become a series of articles under our Thinkery banner.

We have Ollie Newbold of Randall & Payne to thank for today’s piece.

He kindly agreed to have a look at the small matter of the whole of the Gloucestershire economy, and distil it down into bite-sized chunks to help us better understand how he thought it was faring.

Please do let us know if there is anything you would like us to focus on for future Thinkery articles (my email’s below linked to my name).

We’ve left the comments open for once at the foot of this article for anyone who wants to have their say (usually that’s for members only).

Have a great week.

Very best regards,

Andrew Merrell (editor).
