Alusid CEO Alasdair Bremner talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company's latest distribution agreement. The Frontier IP Group PLC (LSE:FIPP) portfolio company has signed its second distribution partnership, this time with 3D Wall Panels Italia, expanding Alusid's presence into Europe. The deal grants 3D Wall Panels Italia exclusive rights for commercial sales in Italy over a two-year period. Bremner described 3D Wall Panels Italia as an "innovative company working with a lot of really boundary pushing companies" and highlighted its client list, which includes Zara, Primark, Lavazza and partnerships with materials suppliers such as Durat. The agreement underscores growing demand for Alusid's sustainable products. According to Bremner, "our products are really low carbon compared to a lot of the products which are on the market, roughly 50% less carbon and around half the water used to manufacture them." These features make the products attractive for both commercial and retail customers. Bremner also updated on Alusid's existing European expansion, noting its first agreement with FRONT Materials BV in the Netherlands, which recently secured its first hospitality project in Amsterdam. The company is developing a bespoke range with FRONT Materials, expected to launch in the autumn. Additionally, product ranges with Topps Tiles are progressing through quality control and may also be launched later in the year. The company continues to work towards additional milestones as part of its preparation for a potential IPO. For more interviews like this, visit Proactive's YouTube channel.

Tuesday April 8, 2025 Primark CEO Resigns After Probe

When Adolescense arrived on Netflix last month, it was streamed nearly 25 million times in just four days and sparked a global conversation on the dark side of social media and the lives of teenage boys. But what is it really like to be a teenage boy in 2025? How much attention do they really pay to masculinity influencers? What kind of pressures do they face? And what do they wish adults would understand about them? To discuss all this and more, Róisín Ingle is joined by three teenagers, Dylan O'Malley, Chester Ryan and Daniella Tetteh. We also hear from Jamie Carrick, a facilitator with The Soar Foundation, which delivers wellbeing workshops for teenagers in schools around Ireland. But first, Irish Times reporter Niamh Towey is here to discuss some of the biggest stories of the week, including the arrest of eight protestors from the Mothers Against Genocide group outside Leinster House, why the head of Primark resigned this week after making “an error of judgement” and why one reader of the Irish Times is suffering from wedding and baby shower fatigue. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In the latest episode of The Voice of Retail, host Michael LeBlanc sits down with Phil Wahba, Senior Writer at Fortune, to explore the ever-evolving landscape of retail leadership, consumer behavior, and strategic transformations. Wahba reflects on more than a decade covering retail bankruptcies, leadership shifts, and innovation, highlighting that while consumer desires have remained relatively stable—good value, seamless experiences, and quality products—retailers often struggle to meet these expectations consistently.Wahba shares insights into how some of the biggest names in retail excel by focusing on core strengths. He points to Costco and Walmart as prime examples of companies that continue to thrive by relentlessly pursuing operational efficiency, value pricing, and consistent store execution. In contrast, many department stores have downsized or disappeared because, as Wahba puts it, they “chased the wrong rabbits”—pursuing short-term gains over long-term brand definition. Dillard's stands out by maintaining steady store counts and focusing on a solid merchandising strategy, proving that success hinges on knowing your customer and offering them a clear reason to shop.The conversation then shifts to Hudson's Bay and its recent struggles, which Wahba attributes to a lack of focus on fundamental retail principles and a greater emphasis on real estate extraction. He also touches on the broader implications of retail real estate vacancies, noting that large anchor-store spaces often require creative repurposing—whether converted into smaller retail footprints, medical clinics, or mixed-use developments.Looking ahead, Wahba anticipates a future where technology plays a more backstage role, with the spotlight on operational improvements such as inventory management, demand forecasting, and smoother omnichannel experiences. Shoppers do not seek flashy tech for its own sake; rather, they want frictionless pathways to purchase. The episode also explores how retailers like Foot Locker and Gap might engineer turnarounds under new leadership, taking cues from successful transformations at brands like Abercrombie & Fitch.Wahba underscores that retail “winners” will be those that evolve with shifting consumer expectations while staying true to foundational principles: consistently fair pricing, well-curated inventory, and reliable customer service. The conversation wraps up with a look at up-and-coming brands and international retailers—including Uniqlo—that could make bigger U.S. expansions in the coming years if they adapt carefully to the market's nuances.Whether you're watching for the next big turnaround or seeking to understand why some iconic names falter, this episode offers deep insights into the interplay of leadership, strategy, and consumer loyalty—critical elements shaping the future of modern retail. Michael LeBlanc is the president and founder of M.E. LeBlanc & Company Inc, a senior retail advisor, keynote speaker and now, media entrepreneur. He has been on the front lines of retail industry change for his entire career. Michael has delivered keynotes, hosted fire-side discussions and participated worldwide in thought leadership panels, most recently on the main stage in Toronto at Retail Council of Canada's Retail Marketing conference with leaders from Walmart & Google.

Five years ago, in the midst of the COVID pandemic, she took a massive financial and life-risking leap—flying to London with no guarantees, no safety net, and only her self-belief, resilience, and grit to chase her dream of becoming an international fashion model. Despite setbacks and moments of doubt, her gamble paid off.A UP Los Baños Chemical Engineering graduate who once wanted to work for NASA, Ella discovered her true passion in modeling. Once pressured to conform to beauty pageant standards, winning a modeling competition led her toward high fashion instead. Today, she's thriving in London, working with global brands like Rayban Meta, Pandora, Primark, Adidas, Puma, Glenlivet, Sephora, Boots, ASOS, Boohoo, and Nasty Gal, among many others. She has also founded her own mother agency called Eiveren Models to help Filipino models break into the international sceneIf fear or doubt has ever held you back from your dreams, this conversation is for you!If you're interested in collaborating with our podcast through brand partnerships, advertisements or other collabs, please send an email to our management: info@thepodnetwork.com

Monzo – the bank that Steve and Steve have owned for what seems like ages – has been making noises about going public. But will it list in London, or in the US?  A lot of UK companies have been listing in the States recently, but Steve D is hoping for a London IPO. Is this one for the AIM or the main market? J.D. Wetherspoon's has released its latest trading update and Steve W thinks it's… fine. Like-for-like sales growth is decent enough, but only really in line with the industry.  The company has no realistic price competition from its rivals, but supermarkets are the big challenge. So how will the firm cope with higher tax and NI contributions? From the AIM, Steve D's investment in Ashtead Technology is starting to pay off. But nobody on our show is quite sure why.  Revenues are set to come in marginally ahead of expectations, with EBITA (no D) up. Surely that's not enough to set the stock off, though… is it? We haven't talked about FTSE 250 dividend aristocrat Spectris on the show before – but that might have been a mistake. The stock has been bouncing back off its lows recently.  It's in the precision measurement space and Steve D knows it from work. But Steve W has concerns over the impact of weak demand from China and its implications for profits. Prologis is still the biggest publicly-listed real estate investment trust (REIT) – we checked. It's heavily exposed to some promising trends that are emerging, but it's cheap right now. With a lower cost of capital than its rivals, the firm is well-positioned to make it through a period of normalising demand. So could it be one for either Steve to buy right now? Steve W has been looking at the latest results from Associated British Foods. It's underwhelming across the board, but especially when it comes to Primark.  Despite this, the stock looks cheap right now. And it might be that the retailer's results – disappointing as they are – could justify the entire market cap by itself… We're always interested in Netflix on this show. And Steve D has been looking at a very impressive performance from the world's leading streaming platform.  Revenue growth has been picking up and margins are widening, greeting great unit economics. And with its competitive position getting stronger, is it too late to buy the stock? Only on this week's PlayingFTSE Podcast! ► Support the show: Appreciate the show and want to offer your support?

Onde você coloca uma roupa rasgada que não usa mais? E os sapatos, o que fazer quando ficam em mau estado? Na Europa, desde o começo do ano, é proibido colocar têxteis e calçados no lixo comum – mas apesar da boa intenção, a medida continua a ignorar o impacto das indústrias de fast fashion no continente. Em 1º de janeiro de 2025, entrou em vigor na União Europeia uma nova diretiva que proíbe os cidadãos de não realizarem a coleta seletiva do vestuário. Apenas tecidos molhados ou usados na construção civil devem ser descartados com o lixo orgânico, direto para incineração.Já as camisetas furadas e os tênis deteriorados devem ser colocados em pontos de coleta – de onde partirão, em tese, para a reciclagem.“Ainda tem muita roupa e têxteis em geral que são simplesmente jogados no lixo”, salienta Louise Curran, professora de Comércio Internacional da TBS (Toulouse Business School) e especialista na moda sustentável. “As pessoas não sabem a que ponto eles podem ser reaproveitados, ou pensam que se está um pouco estragado, ninguém mais vai querer usar. Perdemos um pouco o hábito se consertar, e as jovens gerações mal sabem costurar um botão.”Outro problema é que, há anos, a reciclagem enfrenta dificuldades para se desenvolver na Europa. Na Bélgica, por exemplo, as associações que recuperam as roupas já não davam conta dos volumes cada vez maiores de peças jogadas fora – no ano passado, subiram 17%, algo jamais visto, relata Franck Kerckhof, diretor-adjunto da federação Ressources.“É claro termos uma obrigação de coleta seletiva dos têxteis é bem-vindo positivo”, diz. “Porém colocaram a carroça na frente dos bois: adotaram essa obrigação antes de implementar um plano para financiá-la. Hoje, são os atores da economia social e solidária que se encarregam da coleta seletiva – e eles não têm vocação de bancar a gestão do lixo dos cidadãos.”Fast fashion sob pressãoEste até poderia ser um “bom problema”, se a qualidade das peças recuperadas nos pontos de coleta não fosse cada vez pior. Com a valorização dos produtos de segunda mão na última década, os consumidores agora tendem a descartar apenas as roupas que não conseguem revender em plataformas especializadas.Para piorar o quadro, grande parte do vestuário que vai parar no lixo é, originalmente, de baixa qualidade e feita com materiais impossíveis de reciclar, como poliéster e acrílico.“Isso está no foco do problema: a atuação dos produtores e, em especial, os de fast fashion e ultra fast fashion. Em resumo: é preciso urgentemente regular esse mercado e que os produtores assumam uma parte dessa responsabilidade sobre como a cadeia deve funcionar desde o como, com a escolha dos tecidos, até o fim da vida de uma peça”, clama Kerckhof.O diretor-adjunto da Ressources defende a adoção de um "ecoimposto" para financiar o destino final destas roupas, a exemplo dos que já existe para vários outros setores como baterias, produtos eletrônicos e pneus. Mas a solução não é tão simples num momento em que o mercado europeu é invadido pelas plataformas de ultra fast fashion chinesas, como Temu e Shein, salienta Curran.“Do ponto de vista logístico, tentar controlar todos esses pequenos pacotes que chegam da Ásia é extremamente complicado. Estamos falando de milhões de pacotes por dia, e não tem como esperar que a alfândega abra cada um e verifique onde e como foram feitos”, indica. “Então, vai ser preciso que as marcas queiram contribuir.”UE aposta em garantir melhor qualidade das marcas do blocoAté o momento, a Comissão Europeia tem preferido pressionar as fabricantes do bloco a adotarem melhores práticas e garantir que elas sejam aplicadas, em vez de impor novos impostos que tornariam a concorrência ainda mais dura com os produtos asiáticos.“As grandes marcas de fast fashion, como H&M, Zara e até Primark, melhoraram muito na transparência da cadeia de produção. Ainda não são perfeitas, mas temos à disposição muitos sites com informações sobre o que é de onde vêm o que estamos comprando, inclusive quanto usou de água, a taxa de reciclabilidade”, afirma a especialista. “Já a ultra fast fashion continua extremamente opaca, o que leva as fast fashion a afirmarem que não estão mais conseguindo concorrer nestas condições.”A pesquisadora britânica participa do projeto Twin Seeds sobre as cadeias globais de valor à luz da crise climática. Ela observa ainda que países produtores de matérias-primas naturais, como o Brasil com o algodão, poderão se beneficiar do eventual aumento da regulamentação sobre o setor têxtil na Europa.“O algodão é uma matéria-prima natural que pode ser reciclada se for monofibra, ou seja, se não estiver misturada com elastano, poliéster ou outro. Ele tem a grande vantagem de não ter origem na indústria fóssil”, frisa. “O Brasil talvez tenha aí uma oportunidade, nesta nova concepção de roupas mais ecorresponsáveis e respeitosos do meio ambiente, se um dia conseguirmos chegar lá.”

Sex has become one of the most controversial topics in the history of the Church. But the historian Diarmaid MacCulloch shows in his book, Lower Than the Angels, that in the last 2,500 years Christianity has encompassed a much greater diversity of beliefs, including on homosexuality and the role of women. He argues that far from there being a single Christian theology of sex, there have always been a wide range of readings and attitudes.In one of the foundational stories of the Bible, in Genesis, Eve is created as an afterthought, from one of Adam's ribs, to be his companion. The classicist Helen King puts the female body at the centre of her book, Immaculate Forms, and examines the ways in which religion, and medicine, have played a gatekeeping role over women's bodies.The prize-winning poet, Ruth Padel, re-imagines the Christian story of the Virgin Mary – a girl in a Primark t-shirt facing a life shaped by divine will. Her new collection, Girl, unravels the myths and icons surrounding girlhood, and also paints a portrait of the Cretan ‘snake goddess' as she's unearthed and reshaped at the hands of a male archaeologist.Presenter: Amanda Vickery is Professor in Early Modern History at Queen Mary, University of LondonProducer: Katy Hickman
