AstraZeneca Announces £300m UK Investment After Previous Project Pauses

AstraZeneca will invest £300m in the UK, completing its Cambridge headquarters and building a digital research facility in Macclesfield. The announcement marks a U-turn after the pharma giant paused £650m in projects last year due to disillusionment with the NHS business environment. Prime Minister Keir Starmer hailed the investment as a 'major vote of confidence' in the UK economy.

Associated British Foods set to announce Primark demerger plans as food and fashion arms face headwinds

Associated British Foods is poised to announce plans for a demerger of its Primark fashion business this week, as the group faces mounting pressures across both its fashion and food divisions. The potential split follows a strategic review announced in November and comes amid disappointing trading, with flat annual sales and falling profits. The Middle East conflict is expected to add further cost pressures, while the company also grapples with a competition regulator investigation into its planned bakery merger with Hovis.
