Last update: 6 hours ago

SME Growth Boost: A Harrogate industrial estate deal is adding 9,710 sq ft and new tenants like Medivet, Hallmark Windows and a tyre/mechanics firm—another sign that regional property is still backing business expansion. Boardroom Moves: Shell has filed PDMR performance share awards for CEO Wael Sawan and others, while HSBC Continental Europe has issued a pre-stabilisation notice tied to a €6.75yr bond offer. Local Business & Jobs: Sun Communities has agreed to sell its UK Park Holidays assets for about £768m enterprise value, freeing capital for its North America focus. Skills & Support: A Bolton equipment maker says a Help to Grow: Management course helped it digitise and sharpen leadership. Community Pull: Invergordon’s new “duck trail” turns a cruise craze into a town-centre footfall driver for shops and cafés. Hiring Pressure: Young jobseekers in the South East report “ghosting” as vacancies fall and AI speeds up applications. Cyber & AI Demand: TTEC extended a seven-year UK contract with Volkswagen Group UK to expand AI-enabled customer care from Leeds.
