British household goods chain Wilko Ltd. announced on Thursday that it went into administration following weeks of uncertainty over its future. The company has around 400 stores and 12,000 employees.

"We've all fought hard to keep this incredible business intact but must concede that time has run out and now, we must do what's best to preserve as many jobs as possible, for as long as is possible, by working with our appointed administrators," CEO Mark Jackson said. PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) has been appointed as administrator and is expected to search for a buyer for the retail chain.

Baha Breaking News (BBN) / DJ

From the Chairman of S&U (LON:SUS) RNS this morning:

Whilst the Chancellor of the Exchequer may make heroic pleas that "declinism about Britain is just wrong", the past decade has seen persistent government policies which act against a climate of entrepreneurial activity, enterprise, and growth. More recently record levels of taxation, steeply rising interest rates, massive government borrowing, and a failure to stem the tide of incessant regulation, especially in the financial services industry, have all contributed to this. The result has been 10 years of sluggish growth in the UK averaging just half a percent per annum- and a lack of faith in the free enterprise culture.

Although S&U has historically outperformed despite these challenges and will continue to do so, it does not operate in a vacuum. In such an environment protecting the quality of the Group's assets and producing responsible growth requires constant innovation and attention to detail. These produce consistently good results, although frustratingly given global investor perceptions of the UK, this is not reflected in S&U's or general stock values. Too often it feels like a tuned and trained athlete is required to continue to perform, wearing army boots on a cinder track.

(S&U plc is a United Kingdom-based company that is engaged in providing motor, property bridging and specialist finance service)

The North American Charging Standard (NACS) is how Tesla have charged their cars for many years but it was opened to other companies in 2022. In recent weeks several major manufacturers (Mercedes, GM, Ford) have announced they are taking it on as well for their cars from 2025. It’s going to be the preferred system for the US and significant expansion will be required.
