Analizamos los valores clave en el Viejo Continente de la mano de Alberto Roldán, profesor de finanzas de la Universidad Europea. Miramos a Airbus, BESI, Reckitt y Tesco.
Ať už se chystáte stavět rodinný dům, rekonstruovat nebo plánujete developerský projekt, jedno je jisté: chyby ve stavebnictví nejsou levné. Stačí špatně vybraný projektant, nedotažená smlouva nebo nekontrolovaný rozpočet – a místo vysněného domova máte nekončící stres, prodražení a nervy. Právě proto jsme si do studia pozvali Jana Horáčka, zkušeného projektového manažera, který řídil stavby za stovky milionů, včetně obchodních center či komplikovaných rekonstrukcí v historickém centru Prahy. Dnes školí, radí investorům i běžným stavebníkům a přesně ví, kde se ve stavebnictví nejčastěji chybuje – a jak tomu předejít. V rozhovoru se dozvíte: - Proč vám dozor od stavební firmy nestačí a jaký je rozdíl mezi technickým a autorským dozorem. - Jak poznat kvalitního projektanta a proč je koordinace projektu naprostý základ. - Na co si dát pozor ve smlouvách a rozpočtech, aby vás nepřekvapily skryté vícepráce a triky firem. - Co všechno můžete zvládnout svépomocí a kdy je naopak lepší si připlatit za zkušený tým. Nechybí ani konkrétní příběhy z praxe – třeba jak jedna chyba odpojila za pět minut celé Tesco od proudu, nebo proč být levný v projektu se může vymstít několikanásobně dráž.
Los mercados europeos caen el jueves. Es su cuarta sesión consecutiva de descensos. Algo se desvanece el optimismo comercial derivado de las conversaciones entre Estados Unidos y China. Las crecientes tensiones geopolíticas, hoy con epicentro en Oriente Medio, llevan a los mercados a optar por una mayor cautela. En Estados Unidos, los futuros sobre índices también vienen a la baja. Cotizan por allí más referencias de precios. Los de producción, en origen, suben un 0,1% en mayo. Es una décima menos de lo esperado. La geopolítica tumba hoy a turísticas e industriales. Boeing cede con fuerza por el accidente de Air India. BE Semiconductor Industries (BESI) gana más de un 7% tras elevar sus objetivos. Tesco está en positivo. El mayor minorista británico de alimentación acelera el crecimiento de sus ventas en su primer trimestre. Esta hora el análisis es de José Basagoiti, de Trading Pro.

Today we are talking all things wedding related in the news, from Tesco launching some very interesting gifts, and a wedding which had 98 bridesmaids!! We are also answering the listeners question, plus a discussion about Hayley's lorry which is needed for a wedding....
We have a special bonus bonus for you all this week thanks to our pals at Tesco ,Can't Argue With That and things get hilariously heated as the boys get into their own arguments trying to settle yours. Is bean juice ketchup? What is the definition of a hot-dog? The 'big shop' vs 'the 'quick shop' debate and is a door 'on' when it's open or closed?It'll ALL make sense when you listen...well kinda.Thanks again to Tesco for their support. The value provided by Tesco through their Aldi price match and Clubcard Prices? Can't argue with that.

You are not who you think you are.In this episode, Andy takes a deep breath and heads straight into the philosophical deep end -mixing ants, airplane engines, and Tesco epiphanies in a bold attempt to answer the biggest question of all… who (or what) are we, really?Inspired by Rupert Spira, road rage, and a misbehaving mind, Andy explores the idea that you're not your story, your stress, or your Spotify algorithm… you're the awareness underneath it all.Tune in for thought loops, sideways logic, and a slightly dizzying but surprisingly comforting reminder that you are the universe, experiencing itself. So be a nice universe.

In this short discussion, I look at the current craze of fitness gadgets being marketed by high street grocery stores in the UK. Often, we impulse purchase a shiny, exotic looking fitness or 'wellness' gadget with a mindset of acquiring a new healthy body. Enter, ALDI, LIDL, ASDA, TESCO....and so on. These well known supermarkets have hijacked this specific multi billion pound industry, with low cost and often low quality dust collectors, from the currently popular pilates reformers and ice baths to their long running shelf fillers - foam rollers and leggings. Essentially these stores have read the room, from a retail perspective and given the public something we may not have asked for and yet, here we are now, quietly filling our baskets with the week's vegetables, meats and fruit, then out of nowhere.....BOOM...here's a £149 plastic and metal contraption, sported by a physically fit looking, thirty something year old woman. Said contraption is their pilates reformer machine, guaranteed to help you achieve a physique just like the aforementioned super woman on the box labels. Odds are, at some point, you'll be tempted to purchase a middle isle fitness toy and there's a higher probability you'll regret it within four weeks or less, as you relegate it from bedroom wonder to shed tenant. Congratulations, you've just added another dust collecting 'life changer' to your home and guess what? it hasn't turned you into a prime athlete or aesthetically pleasing model. Okay, here's the good news - should you spend your hard earned money on quality nutrition, a personal trainer program or six months gym membership, you stand a much higher chance of getting rid of unwanted excess weight or improving your poor flexibility / mobility levels. My advice, as a professional in the health and fitness industry, keep your home free of 'exercise stuff' and get out of the house to train with friends, family or pros.

In September 2023, UK consumer watchdog Which published research showing just how much cheaper budget brands can be. One striking example was the price of rice at Asda. Shoppers could get 1kg of Asda Just Essentials rice for 52 pence, while the store's standard own-brand Easy Cook Long Grain White Rice was £1.80 for the same quantity. That's 246% more. Similar cases were found at supermarkets like Sainsbury's, Tesco and Morrison's, on staple foods like baked beans, spaghetti and tea bags. The cost of living crisis has seen a lot of people switch to budget food brands in order to save. And an early 2023 survey by Attest found that 70.2% of Brits plan to stick with own-label brands, rather than reverting to premium options. What counts as a budget food brand? Are the products of good enough quality? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

The challenge between now and next May is to hold to account the ten councils that Reform now run and the mayors they have got.” “I'm trying to do this thing, partly for my own health, when Reform are speaking where I listen and try to find things I agree with. Things to which I can say ‘yeah, I hear you'. Otherwise I start from a position of absolute hostility and treating everything as if it's nonsense.” “What on earth do we do with young men? Let's start by saying: look, this isn't your fault, but as soon as you're ready, it is going to be your responsibility to help to make this better. That's difficult stuff. You can't cheat those conversations.” “The maddening thing with Nick Clegg is that the trajectory of his shitness is so chartable. He smelled the money, went after it, came back eye-wateringly rich, and in real time, in a way we can observe, he lost any care for the people that this affects.” “People have rights to their product. It's astonishing for Nick Clegg to shrug and say: there's no way of stopping AI from stealing your stuff… If I created a great new drone, that went into Tesco and nicked whatever parts it needed all the time, I promise you I would have a f***ing problem.

What topic would you like us to cover next?Ever wondered what makes truly exceptional chocolate? The secret might be sitting right beneath its roots - volcanic soil.Tamsin Daniel, Head of Marketing at Firetree Chocolate, takes us on a fascinating journey through the world of premium chocolate production, revealing how cocoa grown in the nutrient-rich volcanic soils of remote islands creates distinctively complex flavour profiles that chocolate lovers are increasingly willing to pay premium prices for.What makes Firetree's approach particularly interesting is their commitment to the bean-to-bar process. Working directly with small-scale farmers in places like the Solomon Islands, Vanuatu, and the Philippines, they're creating chocolate with nuanced taste notes that challenge conventional chocolate making. Tamsin shares insights from her remarkable career working with iconic food brands including Newman's Own, Pataks spices, and Betty's Tea Rooms. Her candid "chickpea disaster" story from an early marketing trip to India with Meena Patak offers a humbling reminder of how even the smallest details can impact marketing success. The conversation explores broader food marketing trends, including the shift toward taste appreciation, ethical sourcing considerations, and how major retailers like Tesco are recognising consumer demand for more sophisticated offerings.Whether you're a chocolate enthusiast, food marketer, or business owner interested in premium product positioning, this episode delivers valuable insights into how authentic product differentiation combined with distinctive brand positioning creates lasting consumer appeal.

Send us a textWhat happens when a corporate executive decides to break free from conformity at age 41 and build something meaningful? Pete Starr's journey from Manchester Council Estate to founding the Chilli Group reveals how purpose can transform both career and impact.Growing up in a conservative household where his father wore a shirt and tie on beach holidays, Pete learned early to observe rather than disrupt. This quiet attentiveness would later become his entrepreneurial superpower, though he wouldn't recognize it for decades. After years at companies like Tesco, Coca-Cola, and the National Lottery, Pete took the leap into self-employment when a friend reframed the concept of risk: "If you have one employer and they drop you, you're left with zero. If you're freelance with multiple clients and one drops, you still have several."The Pandemic brought both crisis and opportunity. As cancellations flooded in during March 2020, Pete faced uncertainty but emerged stronger, with a renewed commitment to environmental impact. Inspired by his children's concerns about plastic pollution and the collective power of small actions, he launched Wavy – dedicated to developing people skills within green organizations to accelerate positive environmental impact.Pete's approach centers on emotional intelligence and presence. "You can have brilliant training design and an average trainer and you'll have an average training experience. You can have average training design and a brilliant trainer and you're more likely to have a brilliant training experience." This philosophy drives his work across both Chilli Group and Wavy, where he helps environmental organizations balance purpose with the profitability needed to sustain their mission.For those considering their own entrepreneurial path, Pete offers refreshingly honest advice: "Just do it sooner" and remember that everyone's polished online presence is merely a shop window – "Every shop has got a back storeroom that's an absolute tip." His legacy isn't about business accolades but passing positive values through generations, creating ripples of impact that continue long after we're gone.Discover how small changes and emotional intelligence can drive massive environmental impact.

Tap to send me your reflections ♡In this episode I'm joined by the ever-wonderful Adam Lind - coach, author, speaker and narrowboat dweller - for a rich, honest conversation about vulnerability, creativity and the winding path toward a life of internal freedom.Adam shares the profound challenge of losing his father when he was still just a teenager himself - and how that has informed his life choices: to create a life less ordinary.We talk about writing, as a deeply personal process, the pull between being of service and staying in integrity, and what happens when we start telling the truth about how we really are (even in Tesco). We reflect on loss and grief, success and self-expression, certainty and the freedom to not know - and the deeply human longing for safety in an uncertain world.Adam's new book, Floating Home: a life less ordinary, is an invitation to seek freedom, joy, and connection, wherever you call home. And I'm honoured to say that part of it was written here, on Adam's solo retreat at Bach Brook.As always, this is a conversation that moves gently through different spaces - from laughter to tears, lightness to depth - and lands, ultimately, in love.PRE-ORDER Floating Home: a life less ordinary by Adam Lind published Sept '25 https://uk.bookshop.org/p/books/floating-home-lessons-from-a-life-less-ordinary-adam-lind/7814635?ean=9781526683526CONNECT WITH ADAM@adam.floatinghome *** BOOK A DISCOVERY CALL WITH HENNY A free 60-minute call to explore how coaching together could support you https://calendly.com/hennyflynn/henny-60 RECEIVE (ALMOST) DAILY TINY MESSAGES OF LOVE Sign-up for everyday ♡ compassion https://hennyflynn.ck.page/everyday-compassion EXPLORE SOLO RETREATS AT BACH BROOK Take time to rest, reflect, reconnect - fully cared for in a place of natural beauty https://www.hennyflynn.co.uk/Solo-Retreats BOOKS, EVENTS, FREE RESOURCES & COURSES https://www.hennyflynn.co.uk/

L'entreprise possède plus de 500 marques et distribue plus de 3 500 produits différents, dans plus de 200 pays. Cela inclut non seulement des sodas, mais aussi des eaux, des jus, des thés, des cafés, des boissons énergétiques, des laits aromatisés, et même des produits locaux spécifiques à certaines cultures ou régions.Par exemple, en Inde, Coca-Cola vend Maaza, une boisson à la mangue. Au Japon, on trouve Ayataka, un thé vert glacé. Au Mexique, on peut boire du Del Valle, un jus de fruit populaire. Aux États-Unis, la marque commercialise aussi Vitaminwater, Minute Maid, ou encore Fresca.Pourquoi 9 ans ?L'affirmation selon laquelle il faudrait 9 ans pour tout goûter repose sur un calcul simple : si vous testiez un nouveau produit Coca-Cola chaque jour, il vous faudrait près de 10 ans pour venir à bout de tous.3 500 produits ÷ 365 jours = environ 9,6 ansMais attention : cela suppose qu'on ait accès à tous ces produits… ce qui est quasiment impossible, car certains ne sont disponibles que dans un seul pays, ou même dans une seule région. Autrement dit, il faudrait aussi faire le tour du monde pour les goûter tous !Une stratégie de diversificationCette incroyable variété n'est pas un hasard : elle fait partie de la stratégie de Coca-Cola pour s'adapter aux goûts locaux, aux réglementations alimentaires, et aux tendances de consommation. Dans certains pays, les boissons sont moins sucrées, parfois sans caféine, parfois enrichies en vitamines, ou encore aux arômes totalement inconnus ailleurs.Coca-Cola investit aussi beaucoup dans l'innovation, lançant chaque année des dizaines de nouvelles saveurs ou formats, testés parfois sur des marchés spécifiques avant d'être élargis. Le dernier produit mis sur le marché par Coca-Cola est le Jack Daniel's & Coca-Cola Cherry, une boisson alcoolisée en canette de 330 ml, combinant le célèbre whisky Jack Daniel's et le Coca-Cola Cherry. Cette nouvelle saveur a été lancée au Royaume-Uni en avril 2025, en collaboration avec Jack Daniel's, et est disponible dans les supermarchés Tesco... Hébergé par Acast.

In its literal sense, the term ‘Servant Leadership' is a bit of an oxymoron. If you're the one in charge, shouldn't you be overseeing whatever ‘service' is being done by your team? But in the same way that Leadership is confused with the idea of Management, the word Servant in the term ‘Servant Leadership' often gets mistaken for the idea of Subordinance. But as my guest today discusses, Servant Leadership is about more than being willing to jump in and help your team complete a mission when a situation goes sideways, it's about making sure they know you're doing everything you can to keep them out of that situation in the first place.Joining the podcast this week is Ben Morton, a sought-after leadership mentor, coach and bestselling author. A graduate of the Royal Military Academy Sandurst, he served two tours in Iraq before going on to assume the Global Head of HR role at World Challenge, eventually joining the ranks at Tesco, helping to develop their Leadership Academy.But after moving from the battlefield to the boardroom, Ben began to notice how many programs relied on ‘tools' and models' that turned leadership into a numbers-game. Determined to make a change, in 2011 he founded Ben Morton Leadership under a singular principle: A leader exists to support, develop, and look after the people they have the privilege and responsibility to lead so that they can deliver the results for which the leader is accountable.We discuss why providing a sense of safety is at the core of leadership, why telling and teaching are two separate things, and why not all leadership lessons translate from the battlefield to the boardroom. Enjoy the show.
Does your brand marketing pass the "who cares?" test?

We'll start with the good news - Reform UK appears to be imploding. Nigel Farage has had a wildly public fallout with (now former) Reform MP Rupert Lowe, who was stripped of his whip and investigated by the police over alleged workplace bullying and “verbal threats” against the party chairman.As Reform flounders, the Government is busy making itself even more unpopular - if that's possible - by trailing a series of public sector cuts ahead of the Spring Budget. There are plans to cut half of the staff in NHS England and thousands of jobs in the civil service, not to mention impending benefit cuts. Keir Starmer is expected to announce £5 billion of cuts to personal independence payments - commonly known as PIPs - the main disability benefit. Mikey Erhardt from Disability Rights UK speaks to Nish and Coco about the devastating impact this could have on 3.6 million claimants across the UK.Next up, over the past few years we've seen waves of strikes by warehouse workers for the likes of Amazon, Tesco, Argos and others - but what exactly is it like to work in this algorithm-driven gig economy? Coco speaks to Laura Carreira, the director of a new film about the hidden lives of warehouse workers in the UK.Finally, here's something nobody wants to hear. King Charles has launched a personal playlist to mark this year's Commonwealth Day. Nish and Coco strike back with their own playlist.
