Hello, I'm Michael Crosland, Business Reporter with the Yorkshire Post and we have a few
00:04
interesting business headlines to go over with you this morning.
00:09
So firstly, news from Openreach which has announced that more than 100,000 homes across
00:15
Yorkshire and the Humber are now set to receive full fibre broadband as part of a £30 million
00:21
investment across 13 locations.
00:25
These locations include Maltby, Ilkley, Pocklington and York, obviously amongst others.
00:31
The locations join around 180 other towns and villages across Yorkshire and the Humber
00:36
which are already included in Openreach's build plans.
00:40
Also some positive retail news today as we go into the Christmas period.
00:46
Sports Direct's parent firm, the Fraser Group, which is of course owned by ex-Newcastle
00:51
United owner Mike Ashley, has said that it is heading into the Christmas trading period
00:56
with what it has described as "great momentum".
01:01
The firm has seen both profits and revenues rise over the past half year, with revenues
01:06
up 4.4% to £2.77 billion.
01:12
Another positive Christmas story in the retail world.
01:15
Games Workshop has announced that under its profit share scheme it will be paying £2,500
01:21
in cash to each employee in December to reward their contribution to the company's performance.
01:28
The company said that it expects revenue for the six months into November to fall at £235
01:35
million, which is up from £212.3 million for the same period last year.
01:42
