7+ min ago (496+ words) The Dowty flag is being flown above factories and municipal buildings to commemorate Sir George Dowty's contribution to the aviation industry on the 50th anniversary of his death. The engineer founded Cheltenham-based Dowty Aviation in the 1930s. The firm went on to manufacture parts for military aircraft flown during World War Two, and later, Concorde. At one time the company employed 15,000 people across Gloucestershire and Wiltshire. Martin Robins, chairman of the Sir George Dowty memorial committee, said: "His legacy wasn't confined to this country, it was worldwide, and it wasn't merely in aircraft." Mr Robins was an employee at the Dowty Group for 10 years from the early-1970s. He said that Sir George had left a significant heritage - first and foremost the design for the undercarriage of the Lancaster bomber, but also hydraulic systems. "After the war, he developed the technology similar to…...

8+ min ago (1877+ words) The AGM G3 Pro is a rugged phone that combines practicality with some useful features, like the thermal camera. The snag with this phone isn't the hardware spec or its physical scale, but the affordability, depending on where you live. Expensive in some regions Can't use dual SIMs and a MicroSD card What I like about AGM is that this company's phones typically aren't a rehash of something I've seen previously, but something unique to this brand. Available in Carbon Black and Alloy Grey, the G3 Pro sells the robust nature of its construction well with an alloy frame and polymer shell. At just 375g, this rugged design isn't especially heavy, although it has double the battery capacity of a standard phone. As lovely as it is, the G3 Pro has one special feature that not many competitor devices offer, specifically a thermal imaging…...

8+ min ago (306+ words) UBS may eliminate 10,000 jobs by 2027 as part of its ongoing integration of Credit Suisse, Swiss paper SonntagsBlick reported on Sunday. The report stated that the layoffs will target employees in Switzerland and abroad. Responding to the claims, UBS did not confirm the figure but said that it would "keep the number of jobs cuts in Switzerland and globally as low as possible." A reduction of 10,000 positions would amount to a roughly 9 per cent cut in Swiss bank's workforce, which stood at around 110,000 employees at the end of 2024. UBS, one of the leading global wealth management firm, has been reducing job roles as a cost-cutting measure following the integration of former rival Credit Suisse, which it bought in 2023. "The role reductions will take place over the course of several years and will be mostly achieved through natural attrition, early retirement, internal…...

12+ min ago (540+ words) A decade on from two major storms which swept through northern England causing devastation, business owners say heavy rainfall still makes them nervous. Coming close after Storm Desmond in early December 2015, Storm Eva was responsible for the flooding on Boxing Day in Kellie Hughes' hair salon in Whalley, Lancashire. But she was determined to open the following morning with help from neighbours. "When I look back I don't believe what I actually did and how we did it and how we managed, because the whole salon was just absolutely trashed," she recalls. Her insurance has since quadrupled in price, she says. Sue Proctor and Sarah Baxter faced a similar hit on their business as water levels rose significantly by the garden centre and cafe they had opened the year before, overlooking a river in the Burnley countryside. "The whole garden…...

16+ min ago (478+ words) On Friday, Intel shares hovered around $41.41, near the very top of the company's 12-month range of $17.67 to $44.02. The stock has more than doubled over the past year, fueled by a wave of optimism around its foundry revival, its bold manufacturing roadmap, and a blockbuster investment from Nvidia. But alongside the bullish momentum came dramatic price swings. Intel suffered a steep drop earlier in the week, falling more than 7% after investors reacted negatively to the company's decision to retain its Networking (NEX) division. The rebound was just as fast, a nearly 4% surge the next day, after upbeat commentary on AI demand and news of a $208 million Malaysia expansion project. The biggest catalyst in Intel's 2025 comeback story remains Nvidia's $5 billion equity stake, purchased at $23.28 per share. Once newly issued shares settle, Nvidia will hold roughly a 4% ownership stake, making it one of…...
