While working at City AM in London, I was in charge of man-on-the-street interviews about topics trending in London. I did many of them, and here are a few.
If interested in seeing all of my City AM work (or you want to see just how many City Views segments I did) feel free to visit the website.
CITY VIEWS: WHY IS JOHN LEWIS BEATING THE HIGH STREET?
ANMOL CHIBBER | DZ BANK
“It attracts the higher end of the market. The rich are getting richer while the poor are getting poorer. It is also known for its quality, service, and matching prices.”
MICHAELA MORAN | BANK OF AMERICA
“People know what they are buying at John Lewis. It’s reliable. You know you can purchase something and have no issues. It’s also convenient – you don’t want to trawl the high street.”
SOPHIE MUNARETTO | SMBC
“It is targeting a different kind of customer. It has been renewing its stores and the investment is paying off. The stores also have a very diverse product range”
CITY VIEWS WHO WILL WIN THE MAYORAL ELECTIONS?
Thursday 5th April 2012, 12:53am
Kendal Gapinski and Joe Softley
DALE CROSS
BUSINESS SYSTEMS
Boris Johnson will probably win. I think he has more of a persona than Ken Livingstone. Everyone seems to like Boris. I think he appeals more to a younger generation.
ANDREW SELLERS
HISCOX
Boris Johnson should win. The entire thing on LBC radio was such a disaster for Livingstone. His fare deal plan is rubbish. How are we going to pay for that when we don’t have any money?
MATT BENTON
MONEY ADVICE TRUST
I think Boris brands himself more and will probably stay in the office. Personally though, I think Boris has been mayor for a long time already, and is too much of a comedian for my taste.
CITY VIEWS: WHAT ARE YOUR FIRST IMPRESSIONS OF THE CHANCELLOR’S BUDGET?*
Thursday 22nd March 2012, 1:34am
Kendal Gapinski
AMI RICHARDS | FIDELITY
“It seems that, overall, the Budget looks like a good thing. The personal allowance increase was needed. People are struggling to survive because things are so hard, so the more-than £1,000 increase should hopefully help.”
COLIN HALL | GRESHAM COMPUTING
“I’m happy the Budget didn’t mess too badly with childcare. The tax increases, while not good right now, look good for next year. It was also a good idea not to raise duty on alcohol because pubs could use the extra help.”
JOHN NEWLANDS | CITYONE SECURITIES
“This Budget gives an openness for an entrepreneurial economy, which is important for employment and growth. Of course, as a professional smoker and drinker, we got clubbed again by the price rise on a pack of cigarettes.”
Kendal (Gapinski) Kloiber
