Jess Herbert, Rolls Royce, Nick Naylor, Bloodhound, John Silker, MAGNA and more - GUTS, beer and speed

An apprentice who at 19 years old has already saved Rolls-Royce £10m; the author of a new report describing Sheffield as the beer capital of the world and a member of the team behind a rocket-powered car all feature in this week's Business Live radio show.The Bloodhound Supersonic car was the headline attraction at this year’s Get up to Speed with Engineering and Manufacturing (GUTS) event, held at MAGNA Science Adventure Centre on Wednesday this week.Bloodhound SSC is a jet and rocket powered car which will challenge for the world land speed record and is set to ultimately break the 1000mph barrier. Many of the parts for the car are designed and manufactured in the Sheffield City Region.I went along to the GUTS event where I interviewed Nick Naylor of the Bloodhound education and outreach team, and Jess Herbert, an apprentice at Rolls-Royce (supplier of jet engines for Bloodhound) who gave a superb presentation. Organisers Jackie Freeborn and John Barber of the Work-wise Foundation also spoke with me, as did attendees and exhibitors including Anne Wilson MBE of Numill engineering, and John Silker, CEO of MAGNA which hosted GUTS.Sheffield could justifiably be described as the beer capital of the world, according to a new report launched this week. The Sheffield Beer report examines the thriving brewing industry in the city: there are 57 breweries in the Sheffield City Region. But the report (available here) says the city is missing an opportunity to capitalise on this excellence, and through collaboration, promotion and education could achieve the worldwide recognition it deserves. I caught up with report author Pete Brown for an interview in the Sheffield Tap.Timings:0 - 7:51 introductions and updates, including details of a new Women in Enterprise report from the Federation of Small Businesses; a new initiative, the Buy Social Corporate Challenge, which launched this week to encourage corporates to buy from social enterprises; Responsible Business Week; some forthcoming events7:51 - 16:29 Pete Brown, author of the Sheffield Beer Report16:29 interviews from Get Up to Speed, including:17:28 Jackie Freeborn, Work-wise27:14 John Silker, MAGNA32:55 Chris Harrop, Pryor34:24 Nick Naylor, Bloodhound's education team39:07 Jess Herbert, apprentice at Rolls-Royce42:31 James Allen, Rolls-Royce44:04 Anne Wilson MBE, Numill Engineering47:06 Jim Lawson, the Wosskow Brown Foundation49:47 Lucy Machin and Lauren Browning, The University of Sheffield53:38 John Barber, Work-wise
