Charles Jillings, CEO of Utilico, energized by strong economic momentum across Latin America. Watch the video here.
"General Motors has just signed a contract with us" is a useful sales pitch to have in your armory.
Just to add, when we have people at ministerial level saying things like, "If they don't like it here then they should FO back to France" then we also know that we have serious problems of leadership within our our upper echelons of power. We need a total reset - large companies included. Cost cutting needs to stop being mistaken for improved efficiency, as has happened in so many cases.
Cheers, Taverham. Gotta say, having lived and worked around the world, for a supposedly "advanced" country the UK seems to breed some of the biggest idiots. The Singapore of Europe, as some suggested post Brexit? Don't make me laugh.
...........the oil can featuring more prominently than the EV / Hybrid symbols - which are well down the "Car Servicing" page and well below said 'oil can' - is another example. The EV and hybrid servicing offers should be front and centre. FACT: People need to be spoon-fed in many cases and many still see Halfords as bikes, blades and bulbs.
I just looked at the website out of curiosity to see to what extent they are marketing the EV servicing. Little things like the picture of an old internal combustion battery on the "Motoring Products" page will leave many EV owners with the impression that this is a dinosaur business that has not moved forward with the technology. C'mon Halfords! There's no point positioning yourself brilliantly if Joe Public isn't told about it.
Don't know how Bailey has kept his job, especially after some of the debacles during his time at the FCA. As for rate rises? I can remember posting on the FT comments section the best part of a year before the first BOE rate rise, at a time when Bailey was telling us that inflation will be transitory, "Don't these guys ever go out shopping? You don't need a degree in economics to see what's happening across the shop shelves". And yet some people still hang on this guy's every word (opinion?)
I hope the interviewees ruthlessly put forward a robust set of questions which befit this position. By way of some suggestions: Tell us about you? How much do you know about Avacta? What do you get up to in your spare time? Ooh! Do you ever read one of those books and hike, all at the same time? Can we expect a new album from you in the near future? Let me know if I've missed any out.
QDNano seems more intent on attacking Hamoodi than selling the plus points of the current board. But then again, they wouldn't need to attack if the current board wasn't having to rely on a similar strategy through a lack of a solid one themselves.
"Machin told investors that the group’s older cafés “don’t make any money” but have been kept as shoppers enjoy visiting them."
Don't know what others think but imo neither the cafes in M&S or Waitrose offer the sort of appeal that I'd have expected from such iconic names. We need to approach them with the same vigor as we have other areas which have been turned around. Instead of viewing them as a poor appendage to the stores, look to make them a draw in their own right. Currently, the decor lacks warmth, the menu is unimaginative and overpriced and the general ambience would not be that far out of place in a 1950s cafe. This, when we should be using them to draw shoppers in.
