Sainsbury's Business Television programme showing part two of board Q&A session, 8 February 2000

Recording of a special Sainsbury’s Business Television programme for Sainsbury's staff (mainly store management teams) showing the second part of "The Big One": "The entire Sainsbury's Supermarket Board taking part in a live question and answer session in front of a studio of around 70 colleagues". Staff could also call in with questions. The first hour was broadcast on 1 February 2000 by satellite to Sainsbury's stores, depots and offices. The entire event could not be included in one programme so the last 30 minutes were broadcast in this programme on 8 February 2000. It was presented by John Howard.
