BBC Radio Paver

Dougal Paver has been appointed to BBC Radio Merseyside's roster of regular business contributors.

He will join Linda McDermott's popular drive-time slot every other Tuesday at 5.40pm to offer his views on current business topics.

"I'm not short of an opinion or two, as my blog shows, so I'll probably have to bite my tongue a little," said Paver.

"It's flattering to be involved and I'm looking forward to the show," he added.
