- Lidl Opening Nine Stores In One Month
Lidl is kicking off the new year with nine store openings in one month. With the majority opening their doors in February, hundreds of new jobs have been created as a result, whilst even more households nationwide will have access to the discounter’s award-winning combination of high-quality, affordable products. Canning Town, Preston, Walsall, and Wombourne are all getting new stores. Meanwhile, a further five communities will see a bigger and better Lidl re-open in their area following significant investment. This will include stores in Blantyre, Cwmbran, Oldbrook, Wells, and West Ealing. The latest wave of openings follows its first of 2025 in Northampton, whilst building on the momentum of a series of ten new store openings in the run up to Christmas, including Bovey Tracey, Hemel Hempstead, and Ipswich, as part of the discounter’s ongoing expansion drive. Delivering an economic boost, this growth will create hundreds of new roles across the country. Colleague benefits include industry-leading maternity and adoption leave, enhanced holiday entitlement, and an in-store discount. Richard Taylor, Chief Development Officer at Lidl GB, said: “As we begin the new year, we’re maintaining our momentum and opening nine state-of-the-art stores, delivering bigger and better shopping experiences to new communities and those we’ve proudly served for an average of 26 years. After a record-breaking Christmas, where millions of households turned to Lidl, these openings reflect the growing demand for our unbeatable value and quality. This is just the start – we’ve got more openings in the pipeline this year alone and can’t wait to welcome even more customers, both loyal and new, through our doors in the weeks ahead.” This ambitious growth comes after Lidl’s most successful Christmas yet, with nearly two million more customers shopping at the discounter compared to previous years. Sales for the festive period rose 7% year-on-year, exceeding £1 billion for the first time. Lidl has also consistently been named the fastest-growing bricks-and-mortar supermarket for over a year.
- Sprint Success For GB Of The 2025 UEC Track Elite European Championships
The Great Britain Cycling Team kicked off five days of racing in Heusden-Zolder with sprint success as the women’s team sprint won the silver medal and the men won the team sprint bronze medal on day one of the 2025 UEC Track Elite European Championships. In the endurance events, Anna Morris came fifth in the women’s scratch while Will Perrett took eighth place in the men’s elimination and both team pursuit squads qualified for their first round races tomorrow. Women’s team sprint It was a fantastic start to the championships for the young trio of Lauren Bell, Rhian Edmunds and Rhianna Parris-Smith who delivered Great Britain’s first medal of the event, a silver in the women’s team sprint. The team started the day well as Parris-Smith delivered the fastest opening lap out of all qualifying rides, to help the team to an overall third place finish time of 47.168 behind last year’s winners, Germany. In round one, the British trio delivered a time of 46.905, over two and a half seconds faster than rivals Czechia, putting them through to the title ride-off against the Netherlands. In the race for the European title, Parris-Smith delivered her trademark powerful start to put Great Britain in the lead by 0.3 seconds. Hettie van de Wouw for the Netherlands closed the gap on the second lap, putting the two nations neck and neck with it all to play for. Edmunds worked hard to keep the pace but it wasn’t quite enough for the win as Dutch rider Steffie van der Peet crossed the line first and Great Britain took the silver medal. Men’s team sprint The men’s team sprint line-up of Harry Ledingham-Horn, Hayden Norris and Harry Radford delivered three consistent rides to bag themselves a bronze medal on the first day of racing. Having qualified third fastest in a time of 43.496, Great Britain headed into round one against Poland. Radford hit lap one 0.2 seconds faster than in qualifying, but Poland put the pace down in lap two, making the race neck and neck. Ledingham-Horn put in a big effort in the final lap to keep the Brits ahead and take a marginal victory which sent them into the bronze medal ride off. Radford was once again quick off the line, creating a gap on five hundredths of a second on Czechia, who quickly pulled it back and took the lead ahead of the final lap. Ledingham-Horn put the pressure on and Czechia were unable to match his power as the lead swung back hugely in favour of Great Britain who took the bronze medal. Women’s scratch Anna Morris delivered a calm and collected ride in an incredibly cagey race, just missing out on the sprint to finish in fifth place overall. In a steady start to the 10km race, riders were strung out across the track taking turns on the front as the field sized each other up, with all eyes on Lorena Wiebes (Netherlands) as the clear favourite. As the race reached the halfway point, the pace remained steady with no riders willing to commit to a move, as Great Britain’s Morris stayed alert and well-positioned to shut down any potential moves. The race stayed muted until 13 laps to go when Melanie Dupin of France made a jump off the front in an attempt to take a lap. Hesitation from the bunch to chase saw Dupin create a lead of a third of a lap, before being swallowed up in the final kilometre as riders positioned themselves for the sprint. Morris kept her eyes firmly on the competition as Wiebes moved through the bunch with 500m to go before making her move on the outside, with Morris and Italian Martina Fidanza (Italy) on her wheel. Wiebes pushed on for the sprint, neck and neck with Fidanza who held on as Wiebes ran out of gas, leaving Fidanza to take the title in style. Morris was unable to match their sprint and finished a commendable fifth overall. Men’s elimination Will Perrett delivered an impressive ride before a small error cost him his place in the race and he finished eighth overall. From the start, Perrett managed his efforts in a high-paced race, alternating between riding at the front with contenders Elia Viviani (Italy) and Tim Torn Teutenberg (Germany) before dropping back to conserve energy. A shock elimination from two-time world champion Viviani in 15th place opened up the field and an unphased Perrett continued to ride confidently at the front. However, with a smaller group remaining, Perrett dropped into a risky position at the bottom of the track and a lapse in concentration saw him caught off guard and passed by his rivals, putting him out of the competition in eighth place overall. Teutenberg went on to win the men’s elimination title. Qualifiers Both team pursuit squads comfortably qualified for tomorrow’s first round, with the men’s squad of Rhys Britton, Josh Charlton and debutants Michael Gill and Noah Hobbs laying down a fantastic time of 3:51.578, putting them second in qualification behind world champions Denmark. They will race against Switzerland in tomorrow’s first round for a chance to get into a medal ride. The women’s team delivered the third fastest time of 4:18.745, putting them 3.751 seconds behind reigning champions Italy. The British quartet of Maddie Leech, Sophie Lewis, Grace Lister and Anna Morris will go head-to-head with the Italians tomorrow in their first round ride. Tomorrow will also see Matt Walls return to the track in the men’s points race, while Neah Evans contests the women’s elimination title. In the sprint events, Harry Radford is up in the 1km time-trial while women’s sprint qualification also takes place for Lauren Bell and Rhian Edmunds.

- Doubling Of Imports Through London Gatwick Will Benefit South East
London Gatwick could provide a significant boost for growth and resilience of freight across the South East, and support unlocking long-term growth, if the airport’s Northern Runway plans are approved later this month. These were among the key topics discussed by the airport’s CEO Stewart Wingate at a roundtable of UK Aviation Freight Leaders last week, attended by key figures from the UK’s major aviation freight stakeholders, including airlines, airports and trade bodies. The airport is in the final stages of waiting for government approval to bring its existing standby Northern Runway into regular use. If approved, the plans could bring an additional 60,000 flights per year and see an increase to 161,500 tonnes of cargo by 2038 – more than double 2019* levels. The majority of imported cargo through London Gatwick currently arrives in the belly of aircraft from long-haul destinations in Asia and the Middle East – key trade markets which would be further supported by increasing flights to and from the airport. A report by Oxford Economics highlights the Gross Value Added (GVA) contribution to the UK’s economy generated from imported cargo could increase to £9.8bn in 2038, more than twice the value in 2019, and £2.1bn higher than without the Northern Runway. An increase in the volume of imports will also see a rise in trade-facilitated employment across the UK. With the Northern Runway project, employment would increase to 167,500 jobs in 2038, 35,500 more than without the development. Karim Fatehi OBE, CEO, London Chamber of Commerce and Industry said: “There is a £2bn a year economic boost within our grasp if we bring London Gatwick’s Northern Runway into regular use. We could double international trade passing through the airport, encouraging home grown and international investment and creating 35,000 new jobs." “Trade through airports is essential for London and the wider UK’s business community. Our Green Skies report shows that four in five London business leaders agree that air connectivity is vital to London’s global competitiveness, international trade, and economic growth. Opening up the runway would create opportunities for businesses to expand their operations overseas, and to access growing markets in the USA, Asia and the Middle East." “We call on the Government to seize this opportunity to boost economic growth and productivity for the entire UK.” Stewart Wingate, CEO, London Gatwick said: “London Gatwick already makes a significant contribution to the local, regional and national economies, through direct and indirect jobs, tourism and global trade opportunities. " “It’s promising that government is actively facilitating discussions on the importance and growth of UK aviation freight, and in particular the resilience across the South East, and unlocking long-term growth for the sector to improve UK competitiveness." “Many businesses and individuals across the South East are supported by having London Gatwick on their doorstep. We are confident that by bringing our existing Northern Runway into regular use, we’ll continue to grow our global connections and drive growth for the region’s people and businesses."
