Conversations with real Northamptonshire business owners. Their story, their business, and the records that mean something to them.
Every Wednesday, 7-9pm on NLive Radio. Hosted by Brian Wrigley and Simon Cox, alternating weeks.
Every week, Open for Business brings two business owners into the studio for an honest conversation about what running a business is actually like. Brian and co-host Simon Cox alternate weeks in the chair.
Each guest on Brian's show picks three records to play during the show:
- One that reminds them of a happy memory
- Their go-to karaoke song
- A song that always makes them smile
It's a nice way to get to know someone beyond the business — the records often say as much as the interview does.
Real stories from business owners in your own community, not generic business advice
Two different guests each show, across every kind of business
A more personal side of business, through the music people choose, not just what they say
Local, genuinely about Northamptonshire, for Northamptonshire

If you run a business in or around Northamptonshire and have a story worth telling, Brian would love to have you on.

Open for Business shares the same thinking behind The Field of Business and the Refinery Review. Real, honest conversation about what's actually going on, not theory.
If that's what you're after for your own business, a Refinery Review is a free 45-60 minute version of exactly that.
