Independent Thinking - Exploring a new era for retail and the high street
A podcast exploring a new era for the high street - we discuss how bricks and mortar retail is evolving across the UK, and why the 'death of the high street' is far from inevitable. Join us as we go behind the scenes of inspiring retailers and shops you love, speak to industry experts making their predictions for the future, and hear from those at the heart of it all, sharing stories about how they started, how they continue to evolve and why they believe in their local high street.

Opening Aeble, Scotland's first cider shop and taking the leap into retail with Grant & Jaye Hutchison
Hello and welcome back to Independent Thinking. Thank you so much for your comments about our first episodes of the series so far, they both seem to really have resonated with you, which is what we’re all about!
This week, we continue our exploration of partnerships in business with Aeble, Scotland’s first and only cider shop brought to you by husband and wife team Grant and Jaye Hutchison.
Many of you will know Grant from his days as drummer with the band Frightened Rabbit, but might be less aware of this love for cider. Together with his wife, who has worked extensively in the world of art and set design, they have opened Aeble, in Anstruther in the East Neuk in Fife to showcase and celebrate indie cider producers from around the world. We talk about big life changes, moving out of the city, the power of collaboration and how far cider has come.
Regardless of whether you’re a cider lover or not, prepare to be won over and inspired, in this story of following your passion and taking the leap. Enjoy!
