  • Confidence In North West Mid-Market Remains Resolute

    Confidence among North West mid-sized companies remains resolute, according to new research from accounting and business advisory firm BDO. In its bi-monthly survey of over 500 mid-sized business leaders, more than two-fifths (41%) of regional businesses are confident about their growth prospects over the next 12 months, the same number as reported by BDO in June. While conditions remain difficult, the findings suggest many mid-market companies in the region are seeing out the year on a firm footing after a prolonged period of pressure and uncertainty, positioning 2026 as the year when AI investment comes to the fore. 2025 has been a year of transition, according to the Economic Engine survey, with more than two-fifths (44%) of companies now actively investing in AI and a further 53% exploring how it could support operations. The focus has shifted, from whether to adopt new tools, to how to embed them effectively across the business. For example, more than a third (38%) now use AI daily in their tax processes. Many have adjusted hiring as they rebalance operations around AI and new technologies: 68% of companies hired fewer people overall, while a smaller group (29%) maintained headcount but for different roles. Looking ahead, 2026 is expected to mark a new phase as AI reshapes workforces more visibly. Three in five (62%) businesses plan to keep overall headcount steady but change the mix of roles. A further 12% expect to increase hiring, while just over a quarter (26%) expect to hire fewer people. The figures suggest that rather than triggering job losses, AI is prompting a gradual shift in skills and responsibilities as companies integrate it more deeply into their operations. As the North West mid-market looks to consolidate in this area, attention is turning to the Autumn Budget. Regional mid-market leaders are calling for stability and a policy framework that supports investment and cost control, rather than sweeping reforms. When asked which measures would most support growth, companies prioritised practical cost relief: targeted incentives to cut energy and input costs topped the list at 26%, followed by business rates reform (24%), improved capital allowances (21%) and clearer R&D reliefs (21%). Nearly a quarter (24%) of North West mid-sized companies want a three-year moratorium on business tax changes, a signal of how highly companies value predictability. Angela Cross, regional managing partner at BDO in the North West, said: “The North West’s mid-market has absorbed several years of economic uncertainty and is now showing real resilience. Confidence is standing firm, investment in technology is becoming routine and companies are rebalancing rather than retreating." “For regional companies investing in technology and reshaping operations, the ability to plan with confidence is now critical. There is a strong desire among businesses for no further changes to taxation at the Autumn Budget to encourage investment. What the mid-market in our region needs is consistency from government: a stable policy environment that turns momentum into lasting growth.”

We had great discussions around their innovative use of new technology to improve energy efficiency and safety, and the growth of the renewables industry." “They are a key local employer in our town, and I look forward to continuing to work with them in the future.” Sonia Freed, Managing Director at Europa, said: “Having our head office in Luton and being a major employer in the area is something we’re extremely proud of, and it was a privilege to welcome Rachel to our site." “Her visit was a great opportunity to highlight the importance of safety and innovation in the renewables sector, and we introduced Rachel to our growing number of innovative products, including our Solar Guardian and Fanton Connectors. We also discussed the importance of ensuring that, as the renewables industry grows, it does so safely." “As Europa looks ahead, the business remains focused on its long-standing commitment to quality, sustainability and service – while continuing to invest in smart and renewable technologies that will help shape the next chapter of the industry.”

  • DMH Stallard Leading The Way With Harvey

    Law firm DMH Stallard has announced that the firm has selected Harvey, the generative AI platform for lawyers and legal professionals following a successful pilot across multiple practice areas.

  • Wynne Joins The Bulls

    Bradford Bulls are delighted to announce the signing of prolific try-scorer Connor Wynne on a one-year deal! The 24-year-old arrives at Bartercard Odsal Stadium for a second spell in the red, amber and black – having previously spent time at the club during the 2023 season. Wynne made seven appearances during that stint, which was sandwiched with spells at Hull FC and Featherstone Rovers – with the outside back scoring 35 tries in 47 appearances for the Flat Cappers. Now with eyes on a second opportunity in Super League, Wynne has spoken of his hunger to make his mark in Bradford colours. Connor Wynne said: “It feels really good to be back, it's been a goal of mine to get back to the top and to especially do it with a team that I've already been at, where I loved my time. The club was great with me, everyone around the club, I respected them, they respected me and I just couldn't speak ill of them so to get the chance to come back, it was a no-brainer." “2023 was the year that made me love the game. I was close to quitting that year because I suffered with injuries and things like that. I'm just really keen to build myself again back in Super League and this club made me definitely want to play rugby again back then." “I'm keen to learn off Kurt [Haggerty]. He's been at the top coaching for a reason because he knows his stuff and we've all just got to buy into it. The chats I have had with him have been good but I've just got to work hard and get myself in that team. You don't want to just go into a team knowing you're going to get a spot and we've got some great players who they're going to push me on and I'm going to push them on. It's always good to have competition, but I'm sure the best man will win." “I think I'm a lot more professional now. I probably took it for granted back when I was at Hull FC and I didn't realise how good I had it, but now it's a chance to prove myself again. I've got a lot to prove so I'm really keen to work on myself a lot more, making sure I'm the most professional player I can be. I've grown up a lot since then so I just want to make sure I'm a true professional and constantly working hard." “A few years ago I didn't really think I'd get the chance to come back and now I have. I'm going to take the chance with two hands and not let go of it. I'm going to put my best foot forward and show everyone what I'm about. I'm not the finished article, there's still a lot more improvement in me and I'm ready to show people what I'm about." “I want to create some history with this club. There’s already a great history but we want to build on that history, it'll be special and to play alongside some players that we've got." Bradford Bulls Head Coach Kurt Haggerty said: “The most important thing with Connor was how desperate he was to get back to the Bulls and the more I have watched his game and studied him, I’ve seen there’s a really good player in there. He’s powerful with how he carries the ball, he’s aggressive in his contact and he’s hard to handle for a man who isn’t overly big." “He’s extremely powerful, explosive and he really wanted to come to the Bulls which was an opportunity I was willing to give him and I’m really looking forward to working with Connor.”

  • Azets’ Five Cashflow Management Tips For SMEs

    Small changes to policies and processes could help SMEs improve their cashflow levels, a senior finance professional has said.   Matthew Grant, Yorkshire Head of Accountancy and Business Advisory at international accountancy and business advisory group Azets, is encouraging business owners to think strategically about their terms of trade and customer relationships, and review their debtor days, and payment processes and policies.   His five key tips are:   1. Implement robust terms of trade: clearly setting out terms and conditions at the start of a new working relationship puts everyone on the same page and gives the business protection if a client fails to pay or becomes insolvent. These documents should be reviewed by a commercial lawyer and updated as the business grows and evolves so they cover any new ways of working and changes in processes.   2. Have a process for ending relationships with clients who don’t pay you: a clear policy setting out when and why a client will cease to be a client allows a business to professionally walk away from relationships that aren’t working as soon as it can. This should be part of a business’s terms of trade, and firms should have a process for alerting clients that they haven’t met their payment deadline and informing them about the steps they’ll take if their invoices aren’t paid within a certain timeframe.   3. Be proactive with your debtor days: many businesses set debtor days, but they should be treated as the start of a process rather than a figure to be monitored. Keep a strict eye on them, and take action if people go over them – it’s a very easy way for a firm to improve its cashflow and its ability to pay its own bills more comfortably.   4. Use payment gateways and direct debits: payment gateways provide an easy way of settling an invoice via a link or QR code which makes it quicker and easier for clients to pay, while agreeing payment via direct debit guarantees the payment date and takes away some of the hesitation around paying that’s typically associated with cash or BACs transactions.   5. Consider early payment discounts: offering early payment discounts to carefully selected customers can help boost cashflow, save money on warehousing and storage costs, and potentially free up time during busy periods by allowing certain goods and services to be shipped or delivered earlier in the year. This is best offered on products and services with a high margin and only when doing so benefits the supplier.   Matthew Grant says: “Cash is king in business, and keeping a close eye on who owes you money, how you tackle your debtors, and how you can make it as easy as possible for your customers to pay can have real tangible benefits – for your business and your bank balance. “A lot of these ideas may seem like common sense, but we find they aren’t typically common practice and at a time like this when costs are rising and many firms are concerned about paying their bills, implementing them could lead to a better financial position and less worry for the business’s owners, directors and staff.”

  • UK Manufacturer Gets A Bigger Foothold In Europe

    A British process filter manufacturer has taken on nearly 2,800 sq m of purpose-built production, warehouse and office space in Poland to bolster its European and global expansion plans. Surrey-based Amazon Filters’ Polish subsidiary is the first tenant at the newly unveiled CTPark Nowy Konik industrial park near Warsaw. The lease deal with the owner, developer and operator of the complex, CTP, will enable significantly increased manufacturing capacity and better transport connections into markets across the continent and beyond. The new production centre replaces a smaller Amazon Filters facility which has been operating in a mainly residential area of the Polish capital since 2014 and employs more than 30 team members. Jan Gradoń, President of the Management Board of subsidiary Amazon Filters Sp. z o.o., said: “The new plant will significantly increase our production and storage capacity, resulting in a faster and more flexible service for customers in Poland and across Europe." “This investment directly supports our ‘quick and able’ manufacturing ethos: to deliver filtration solutions when and where they are most needed, helping our partners avoid costly downtime. The move will enable us to maintain the highest standards of quality and timeliness, which are the foundation of our brand." “Moreover, energy-efficient rooms and the planned installation of photovoltaic panels on the roof will help reduce energy consumption and CO₂ emissions, supporting our ESG strategy.” Amazon Filters’ 2,776 sq m of space on the park comprises 1,175 sq m of production space, 1,092 sq m of warehousing and 509 sq m of offices. As a strategic move to serve European markets, the hub will complement an already well-established sales and distribution hub in Germany where ten managers and staff are based, and the 40-year-old firm’s main global production centre in Camberley, Surrey, UK, which has more than 270 employees. Together the facilities will support the continuing manufacture and supply of process filtration cartridges and housings for essential industrial sectors such as water treatment, energy, automotive, pharmaceutical, food and beverage, chemicals and coatings, and construction. Among its specific activities, the Nowy Konik plant will produce key lines of filtration cartridges made through a meltblown polymer process. These include the ranges SupaGard, SupaSpun, Contour, VisClear, and Kilbac, all featured in solutions that reach customers worldwide through a network of direct sales and specialist distributors. The site will also build on Amazon Filters’ long-standing research and development programmes with the nearby Warsaw University of Technology. Operating 13.5 million sq m of floor space across ten countries, CTP is Europe’s largest listed owner, developer and operator of logistics and industrial real estate. Ewelina Sowa, Regional Business Development Manager at CTP Poland, said the Nowy Konik premises included adaptations specifically made to fit Amazon Filters’ production requirements. “The new warehouse, production space and comfortable offices will support Amazon Filters’ further growth in the coming years," she said. The transaction was brokered by advisory agency Axi Immo whose Associate Director for Industrial & Development, Karol Osiecki, said: “The client chose the site because it best met their expectations for the new space. An additional advantage was the proximity to the previous location, which allowed the same team of employees to be retained. It’s a modern building of high standard, providing comfort and space conducive to further development.” As well as the move to new facilities in Warsaw, Amazon Filters’ 40th anniversary year also saw the firm exhibit at the Polish capital’s FiltraTEC international trade fair. Colleagues from both Warsaw and Camberley attended to exhibit filtration products and solutions to decision makers from core industries across Europe. The May 2025 FiltraTEC was the continent’s largest industrial filtration fair, attracting around 7,000 representatives of manufacturing companies as well as production managers, process engineers, service technicians, biotechnologists, food production directors and many other industry specialists.

  • Hendy Group Celebrates 115th Anniversary Of Becoming Ford’s First British Retailer

    Next week, Hendy Group, one of the UK’s largest independent family-run dealer groups, is celebrating a remarkable anniversary: representing Ford Motor Company in Britain for 115 years. The business became the country’s first retailer for Ford back in 1910 after Southampton-based Percy Hendy, already by then a sales agent for some of the world’s earliest automobiles, heard about the Model T and dashed to Southampton Docks to see if he could meet Henry Ford, who had travelled by ship from America to announce a new factory in Trafford Park, Manchester. The meeting was a success, and on 7 November 1910 at Southampton docks, Hendy and Ford penned the first official agreement for the sale of Ford vehicles in Britain, initially from a shop in East Street, Southampton. The British-produced Model T quickly became a best-seller and business boomed for the company, prompting the company bearing his name to secure additional premises in Vincents Walk, Pound Tree Road, and Chandlers Ford, Southampton and expand into Boscombe in Bournemouth, paving the way for the prodigious south coast footprint for which Hendy Group is renowned to this day. Ford vans, also sold by Hendy, would go on to dominate their own portion of a burgeoning UK automotive market, as well as Fordson tractors in the early 20th century. At times of national crisis, Hendy’s relationship with Ford went far beyond the humble car; during the Second World War, Hendy’s Vincent’s Walk and Chandler Ford’s premises were used to build Spitfire planes. Today, the Hendy Group operates eight Ford dealerships across Hampshire, Kent, Surrey, and West Sussex. Ford is now only one part of the story for Hendy Group, as it currently represents 25 different manufacturers at over 60 locations and recently celebrated its 165th anniversary. The Hendy business has always been run by members of the Hendy family, and its current CEO, Paul Hendy, has steered the business to new heights. It now sits in the top 20 of the UK’s biggest dealer groups, has a turnover exceeding £1bn and employs over 1,500 people. All three of Paul Hendy’s children are progressing through the business as sixth-generation Hendy employees, and the passion for all things automotive – and Ford – still runs deep. Just this year, the Hendy family were reunited with a pristine 1949 Ford Anglia EA94A, which was originally sold by Percy Hendy Ltd at Hendy’s Chandler’s Ford site in Hampshire. Lisa Brankin, Chair and Managing Director at Ford of Britain and Ireland, commented: “Hendy Group has been part of the Ford story in the UK from its beginning. From that very first agreement with Henry Ford in 1910 to today’s world of electric and connected vehicles, Hendy has been on that journey with us. We’re proud to celebrate this 115-year milestone together and look forward to continuing our journey into the future of mobility.” Paul Hendy, Chief Executive at Hendy Group, adds: “The Hendy family were trailblazers for Ford in Britain and it’s a privilege to have represented the brand for so long. Ford has always been a vital part of the Hendy Group's history, and we are excited about supporting the business in a new era of electrified mobility.”

  • New Publican Takes The Helm At 16th Century Cornish Pub

    A new publican has taken on one of Cornwall’s most cherished village pubs, the Polgooth Inn.   Andrew Milburn has worked for St Austell Brewery for over a decade, most recently heading up the Hicks Bar at the company’s visitor centre. This is his first time running a pub in St Austell Brewery’s leased and tenanted estate, as an independent licensee.   Nestled in the Pentewan Valley - between St Austell and Mevagissey - the Polgooth Inn is a 16th century pub and a popular destination for locals, walkers, food lovers and holidaymakers alike. With acres of land, glamping pods and a thriving garden, it has long held a special place in Andrew’s heart.   “My parents-in-law live on the Roseland and whenever we had the opportunity to go to a pub, we used to ask each other where to go; the Polgooth was always at the top of our list as we knew it would always be great,” Andrew said. “I remember my first visit about ten years ago - standing in the garden, seeing everything growing, the pond, the animals. It was a real ‘wow’ moment. I knew it was something special.” The opportunity to take on the pub came earlier this year, following 15 successful years under the stewardship of outgoing tenants, Alex and Tanya Williams.   Having started his journey with St Austell Brewery 11 years ago at the Old Success Inn in Sennen, Andrew went on to join the central food team before taking the reins at the brewery’s Hicks Bar and Visitor Centre. Now, he has relocated to The Polgooth with his wife and two young sons and is excited to bring his own flavour to the pub’s food and atmosphere.   Andrew Added: “Being able to run a pub and put a stamp on the food offering is something that means a lot to me. Guests can expect traditional British cuisine, elevated - the kind of dishes that give you that warm, nostalgic feeling and make the hairs on the back of your neck stand up.” The Polgooth Inn - which forms part of St Austell Brewery’s 120-strong leased and tenanted pub estate - has four and a half acres of land with pigs, cows, sheep, bee hives, glamping pods, polytunnels, and a herb garden. Andrew plans to hero the produce grown on-site across the Polgooth menu and within the community, continuing traditions such as the annual pumpkin-growing competition. Inside the pub, events like quizzes and live music will remain a staple.   The existing team at the Polgooth has stayed on, and Andrew is looking forward to starting this next chapter with them. “The team here is fantastic, and I’m excited to highlight what they’re already doing so well. Everyone’s open, energised and ready for the future.” Tags: Food & Drink South St Austell Brewery News
