Richard Collins reveals the links between the worlds of business and Beatrix Potter. The Tale of Samuel Whiskers is a sinister story of rats behind the skirting boards and kittens going missing. Beatrix Potter wrote it just as her own royalties from Peter Rabbit were mysteriously disappearing. Our reading of the tale offers advice on how to run a rolling audit from Eddie Stobart CEO Andrew Tinkler and Penguin UK managing director, Sally Floyer. Dramatised scenes written by John Peacock. Directed by Celia de Wolff. A Pier production for BBC Radio 4.
