64: Philip King (Former Small Business Commissioner)

Philip King, the former CEO of the Chartered Institute of Credit Management and more recently, Interim Small Business Commissioner, joins the show to reflect on his time in the role.

Will the insolvency service have the capacity to cope with the potentially overwhelming flood of business failures that are hiding around the corner?
