Roland Stanley and Harinder Mahil on B Corp, Community and Business in Medway

from South East Business Show · host Stepping Out Radio

This month on the South East Business Show, Sian Murphy and co-host Adelle Martin are joined by two guests who sit on opposite sides of the same table: Roland Stanley, founder of Dragon Coworking in Medway, and Harinder Mahil, Medway Council's portfolio holder for economic regeneration and owner of the Gurkha Fire restaurant.Roland explains what B Corp certification actually involves, why it took two years to complete, and how it has changed the way Dragon Coworking buys, hires and operates. The conversation moves into what community really means inside a coworking space, and why avoiding cliquiness matters as much as building connection in the first place.Harinder brings the council's view on Medway's One Medway approach to joined up working, before the conversation turns to hospitality, staffing, and why a generation of workers may be growing up wary of the phone call. The show closes with a look at the South East's position next to London: what it costs the region, and what it could still build for itself.Subscribe to the South East Business Show for more conversations with the people shaping business across Kent and Medway.Thanks to our show sponsor The Executive Resilience Coach.
