It didn’t all change in March 2020. Not really. The UK high street has been in the throes of a gradual revolution for decades. From the rise of ecommerce, to the birth of mobile, social commerce, and a growing emphasis on experience, change has been underway for a while. In fact for many, the pandemic has acted as a wake-up call. Digital transformation was no longer a ‘nice to have’ but a matter of survival.

After a happy childhood in South Africa, Shona Fleming was brought back to Glasgow by her parents and found the transition difficult. Life at school became uncomfortable with taunts about her background – her education stalled and Shona abandoned any thoughts of higher education. A series of junior jobs followed, in which she always worked hard, but repeatedly found herself back at square one. By this point, she was by her own admission, developing a chip on her shoulder, but it also provided her with a great sense of motivation. Shona decided to study for a degree in London and discover what she was best at. That determination has since led to her becoming Chief Executive of Scotscare, a charity whose origins stretch back more than 400 years to King James of Scotland and England, and which now looks after Scots in London facing difficulties. And it’s a position she juggles with also being Chief Executive of Borderline, a charity supporting homeless Scots. Shona’s passion for her role, her team and the people they look after shines through and, as we start another no doubt challenging year, it’s good to hear what’s being done for Scots who may be struggling with particularly tough circumstances. Recorded on 16 December 2021.
