Libya's Suzuki distributor establishing site in Misrata Free Zone
This will be on an area estimated at three hectares, including paving the storage yards at the site and preparing warehouses for the management and storage of spare parts. The site will be a major centre for the company to manage its logistics operations, and provide maintenance, training and after-sales services in the future.
MFZ said it provides one of the most important destinations and facilities for major manufacturers, agents and distributors from around the world to localise their investments, especially in the fields of trade and warehousing.
It further added that it provides an investment environment in this field, with the integrated and advanced digital infrastructure and networks, communication and monitoring networks, and the speed and quality of the operational services provided by the port in the handling of motor ships, known as 'Roro' ships.

Strawberry farms in Scotland see fruitful picking season
A warm, sunny spring is credited with giving crops an early boost, leading to larger, juicier berries making their way to supermarket shelves across the UK. Mains of Errol farm in the Carse of Gowrie, located near Perth, is home to over 800,000 strawberry plants. Its farmers expect to harvest around 1000 tonnes by the end of the picking season, which could potentially run into November. READ MORE: Japanese firm completes takeover of Highland port Yields so far are up by 40 to 50% compared to 2024's picking season, with strong crops across all strawberry varieties and tunnel types. During peak season, the farm picks, packs, and distributes up to 90 tonnes of fruit each week. While the volume is welcome, the increase brings challenges in quality control and managing shelf life. 'It could be five days before a consumer goes in and picks up that punnet and that needs to have some sort of life in a fridge,' farmer Jamie Arnot told STV News. 'So we need size to be right, shape's important, shelf life's key, and then how sweet they are is obviously – well, that goes without saying.'

Arnot said that an extra 100 tonnes a week going into August makes it vital to find homes for the fruit as quickly as possible to avoid waste. The industry continues to face challenges from an unpredictable climate, but this year's harvest has shown what's possible under optimal growing conditions.

The first curved escalators in Europe are coming to London
Honestly, London receiving game-changing, futuristic escalators was not on our 2025 bingo card. But why not? The mechanical step-savers are everywhere we look, from tube stations to tired office buildings, so it's about time they got an upgrade. And Harrods is leading the way in doing just that. Kiss goodbye to the run-of-the-mill straight escalator we've all all come to know and love, as London's poshest department store is about to go round the bend. Yes, Harrods has just announced it's installing Europe's first-ever curved escalators. In some ways, it's not that surprising that the Brompton Road retail cathedral is ahead of the curve. As all true London escalator-heads know, back in 1898, Harrods brought the first escalator to Britain. Soon Harrods will join a select few locations in the US and Asia, including iconic Las Vegas hotel and casino Caesars Palace, as the proud home of a curved escalator. Fun fact: the world's only manufacturer of curved escalators is Japanese producer Mitsubishi. Construction of the new curved escalators is expected to begin in 2026 as part of a multi-million-pound renovation to merge Harrods' fine jewellery and watches departments. The transformation will also deepen the lower ground and sub-basement levels of the store to make way for a 'first-of-its-kind vertical two-storey boutique concept'. The reimagined design of the Grade II-listed building will create 'an impressive sense of arrival, emulating the original Edwardian sales rooms', says Katy Ghahremani, director at architects' firm Make and the project lead. Harrods director of store development Martin Illingworth has promised – rather thrillingly – that the new escalator is 'undoubtedly one of the most complex and ambitious transformations we've undertaken within store in Harrods' 175-year history'. Quite the claim, considering Harrods is no stranger to dazzling revamps. The store's dining hall recently underwent a glitzy makeover that was completed in 2023.
