  • Aggregates Market Investigation
    LAFARGE AGGREGATES LIMITED AND LAFARGE CEMENT UK LIMITED OVERVIEW SUBMISSION IN RESPONSE TO THE COMPETITION COMMISSION’S STATEMENT OF ISSUES NON-CONFIDENTIAL VERSION April, 2012 K&E 91146101.1 OVERVIEW SUBMISSION IN RESPONSE TO THE COMPETITION COMMISSION’S STATEMENT OF ISSUES 1. This Submission is made by Lafarge Aggregates Limited and Lafarge Cement UK Limited (together, “Lafarge”) in response to the Competition Commission’s (“CC”) Statement of Issues dated 8 March 2012. A. Executive Summary 2. The timing of the CC market investigation into the supply or acquisition of aggregates, cement and ready-mix concrete (“RMX”) (the “MIR”) presents a series of challenges for both the CC and market participants, including Lafarge: Market Decline. The MIR takes place against the backdrop of an economic downturn since 2008 which has been longer and more severe than any experienced by the construction materials industry within the last 30 years. The reduction in volumes has accelerated again in 2012 with year-on-year declines for the first quarter in excess of 10 per cent for aggregates and RMX, while GB cement volumes appear likely to decline or to remain flat at best in 2012. Industry forecasts do not predict any change in these trends before at least 2014, at which point demand is expected still to remain below levels seen in 2009. Any potential improvements will develop from a low base, resulting in sustained and significant levels of overcapacity. Combination of Lafarge and Tarmac. Lafarge announced in February 2011 the proposed combination of its UK construction materials business with that of Tarmac Limited (the “Proposed JV”).

  • Super-Rich Get Richer by David Teather the Rich Keep Getting Richer
    Super-rich get richer by David Teather The rich keep getting richer. According to the latest Forbes ranking of the world’s richest people, there are now a record 946 dollar billionaires around the world. They have made their money from everything from telecoms to steel to Chinese food. For the 13th year in a row, Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates was the richest person in the world. His personal fortune rose $6bn last year to $56bn (£29bn). His friend, the investment expert Warren Buffett, was the second richest. His fortune increased by $10bn during the year to reach $52bn. Both Mr Gates and Mr Buffett give a percentage of their fortunes to charity. Third richest is the Mexican telecoms entrepreneur Carlos Slim Helu, who added $19bn to his wealth, and now has $49bn. The total wealth of all the people on the list grew by 35% during the year to $3.5 trillion as a result of rising property prices, commodities and stock markets. Luisa Kroll who helped to compile the list at Forbes said it was “an extraordinary year”. On the previous list there were just 793 billionaires. The richest Briton on the list is the Duke of Westminster, Gerald Cavendish Grosvenor, at number 55. Grosvenor inherited much of his wealth and is one of the UK’s wealthiest landowners. He is said to be worth $11bn. Sir Philip Green, the retail entrepreneur who controls British Home Stores and Topshop owner Arcadia is the second richest Briton at number 104 on the list. Sir Philip, 55, has $7bn.

  • CRR 446/2002 a Study of the Provision of Health and Safety Information in the Annual Reports of the Top UK Companies
    HSE Health & Safety Executive A study of the provision of health and safety information in the annual reports of the top UK companies Prepared by System Concepts Ltd for the Health and Safety Executive CONTRACT RESEARCH REPORT 446/2002 HSE Health & Safety Executive A study of the provision of health and safety information in the annual reports of the top UK companies Laura Peebles, Ansgar Kupper and Tanya Heasman System Concepts Ltd 2 Savoy Court Strand London WC2R 0EZ This report details the findings of a research project to investigate the quality and quantity of health and safety information found in the annual reports of the top UK companies. At present, publicly listed companies are not legally required to include health and safety matters in their annual reports. The current Health and Safety Commission (HSC) Strategy Statement, however, contains an action point which focuses on public reporting of health and safety issues by larger companies. The aim is to promote the reporting of health and safety information in company annual reports and to provide guidance that would allow reporting of such information to a common standard. To assist the HSC with this strategy, System Concepts were commissioned by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) to undertake an investigation of the provision of health and safety information in company annual reports. The study comprised a series of steps. The main objectives of the study were: i) To determine the current level of reporting of health and safety issues in annual reports of the top UK companies ii) To determine the quality of health and safety information reported.

Donate now Academic rigour, journalistic flair Britain’s ruthless High Street leaves no room for stragglers like BHS April 25, 2016 3.44pm BST Hitting the buffers. EPA/ANDY RAIN Britain’s ruthless High Street leaves no room for stragglers like BHS April 25, 2016 3.44pm BST Department store BHS has gone into administration after failing to find a buyer. It is Author a worrying time for more than 10,000 employees and could be viewed as another piece of evidence that the UK high street is in terminal decline. Retailers have been battered by the onslaught of changing consumer patterns, online retailing and out-of- town shopping. There are grains of truth in this, but at its core, this is a tale of a Leigh Sparks business being out-competed by smarter, nimbler rivals over a number of years. Professor of Retail Studies, Institute for Retail Studies, University of Stirling BHS, formerly British Home Stores, became a town centre stalwart after opening its first shop in Brixton back in 1928. More recently, the brand has been struggling. Sir Philip Green bought it in 2000 for £200m but sold it last year for £1 and wrote off some of its debt.

  • A Historical Look at the Shops – Past and Present in the Colchester Town Centre Area
    A HISTORICAL LOOK AT THE SHOPS – PAST AND PRESENT IN THE COLCHESTER TOWN CENTRE AREA 1 INTRODUCTION Having written about walking around our town and others over Christmas and the month of January, looking at churches in Essex, Suffolk and Norfolk, the weekend of 1st and 2nd February 2014, saw me writing and photographing the main shops in our town of Colchester and trying to find out the National History of the businesses.

In 2002, Lalani decided to expand the business throughout the UK and has rapidly developed 99p Stores, operating a total of 129 stores as of March 2010 and serving around 1.5 million customers each week, undercutting their main rival Poundland by a penny. As of mid-2009 the company offered more than 3,500 different product lines throughout its stores. Most of their stores are based in the south of the UK, although there are stores as far north as Liverpool and Hartlepool. The chain saw accelerated store expansion upon the collapse of Woolworths Group, where they took the opportunity to acquire 15 of these former stores, increasing their estate to 79 at that time. Landlords are now regarding 99p Stores as an anchor tenant due to the significant number of customers one of their stores can bring to a location.
