El Club de Pádel Las Arenas, inaugurado en 1994 en Tenerife, fue el primer club dedicado a este deporte en Canarias. A pesar de los inicios difíciles y la competencia del tenis y el fútbol, se consolidó como un referente, evolucionando de un nicho a un deporte de masas y contribuyendo al crecimiento del pádel en la región.
Hedge fund Corvex Management is demanding Whitbread, owner of Premier Inn, be put up for sale, citing a "sleepy share price" and criticizing the company's five-year strategy for its slow returns. Corvex, holding a 7% stake, wants key parts of the plan suspended and threatens to nominate new directors if the board doesn't comply.
Whitbread, owner of Premier Inn, is cutting about 3,800 jobs and closing all remaining Beefeater and Brewers Fayre restaurants as it shifts to a pure hotel business. The FTSE 100 company will convert 197 restaurants into hotel rooms and sell £1.5bn of freehold properties. The cuts follow pressure from US activist investor Corvex and £50m extra costs from Rachel Reeves's 2025 budget.
