The 'Queen Of Shops' joins Jo and Simon to chat about her new book.

The 'Queen Of Shops' chats about her new book 'Work Like A Woman - A Manifesto For Change', in which she encourages us to change the way we work by sharing her own experiences.

Mary Portas is one of the UK’s most high profile businesswomen. After making her name transforming Harvey Nichols into London’s sexiest fashion destination, Mary launched her own retail consultancy working for clients ranging from Louis Vuitton to Mercedes, started a career in TV, advised the government on the future of high streets, developed a fashion label and wrote two books. Her proudest achievement to date is the creation of 26 Mary’s Living and Giving shops for Save the Children. Today Mary’s agency Portas advises retail clients from every continent and the business’s success is built on an obsessive understanding of human and cultural behaviour.

Bringing you the best of both worlds, Jo Whiley and Simon Mayo join forces to bring you three hours of the greatest guests, music and early evening entertainment. With top names from the worlds of film, TV and online, plus regular live sessions from the hottest names in music, Jo and Simon will bring you entertaining and compelling celeb chat each evening. Plus there'll be audience interaction, the freshest new music and great chat to accompany you in the early evening - whatever you're doing.
