HUDDL3 Group Exits PTS Advance in Strategic Sale to Morson Group
TUSTIN, Calif., May 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- HUDDL3 Group has completed the strategic sale of its portfolio company, PTS Advance, to the UK-based Morson Group, marking a significant milestone in HUDDL3's mission to build, scale high-impact workforce platforms. The transaction underscores Morson's continued expansion into the North American market and represents a successful exit for HUDDL3 after a period of transformative growth at PTS Advance.
PTS Advance, one of the largest specialist providers of technical talent across the U.S. oil, gas & chemicals, power & renewables, construction & infrastructure, and manufacturing sectors, has evolved significantly in recent years. Originally founded by Ronald and June Stein in 1995, the company expanded its reach and footprint though organic and M&A activity ultimately bringing together the legacy of three family-run businesses with deep industry relationships.
Dane Groeneveld, Group CEO of HUDDL3 Group, said, "I joined as CEO of PTS Advance in 2018 because of the enthusiastic support from Russell Stein and David Stein to grow the business. By bringing in top talent, combined with a strong M&A strategy, we were able to scale the business 4x in a short amount of time – providing an opportunity to establish HUDDL3 Group as a multi-family office with diverse investments in the Future of Work."
He added, "The investment from Morson provides Dustin House and the continuing PTS Advance leadership team accelerated support to be a top 5 provider in the U.S. with enhanced capabilities in engineering and managed services as part of a larger global platform."
Ged Mason, CEO of Morson Group, commented, "As part of our strategy to expand our global footprint, I am delighted that PTS Advance has joined the Morson Group. The collaboration between our teams will enhance our delivery capabilities across the United States. Cultural fit was key and having known the Stein family for over 20 years, there is a strong alignment between our values—laying a powerful foundation for the future. This acquisition strengthens our service offering across North America and offers our clients access to a broader global talent network."
Following the successful exit, HUDDL3 Group continues to invest in its core platforms, including SmartSearch, Inc. – a leading SaaS-based recruitment software platform, LEAD3R LLC – a leadership and teamwork advisory firm, and The Future of Teamwork podcast - amplifying innovation and insight at the intersection of people, platforms, and performance.
Advising HUDDL3 Group on the transaction was Ferruzzo & Ferruzzo, LLP.

AstraZeneca announces results from MATTERHORN Phase III trial of IMFINZI
Positive results from the MATTERHORN Phase III trial showed perioperative treatment with AstraZeneca's (AZN) IMFINZI in combination with standard-of-care FLOT chemotherapy demonstrated a statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvement in the primary endpoint of event-free survival, EFS, versus chemotherapy alone. Patients were treated with neoadjuvant IMFINZI in combination with chemotherapy before surgery, followed by adjuvant IMFINZI in combination with chemotherapy, then IMFINZI monotherapy. The trial evaluated this regimen versus perioperative chemotherapy alone for patients with resectable, early-stage and locally advanced gastric and gastroesophageal junction, GEJ, cancers. In a planned interim analysis, patients treated with the IMFINZI-based perioperative regimen showed a 29% reduction in the risk of disease progression, recurrence or death versus chemotherapy alone. Estimated median EFS was not yet reached for the IMFINZI arm versus 32.8 months for the comparator arm. For the secondary endpoint of overall survival, a strong trend was observed in favor of the IMFINZI-based perioperative regimen. The trial will continue to follow OS, which will be formally assessed at the final analysis. Confident Investing Starts Here:

'This Is Panic': Defence Secretary Forced To Deny Keir Starmer Is Rattled By Nigel Farage
A cabinet minister has been forced to deny that Keir Starmer is 'panicking' about the rise of Reform UK. John Healey defended the prime minister's decision to stage a hastily-arranged press conference specifically to attack Nigel Farage. The PM compared the Reform leader to Liz Truss over his spending plans, and also accused him of 'poisoning our politics'. On Sky News this morning, presenter Trevor Phillips told Healey: 'His speech had 1,100 words, 750 of them were about Nigel Farage. Why is he panicking?' The defence secretary replied: 'He's not panicking.' But Phillips went on: 'Why does the prime minister go into a hangar to talk about a bloke who's got five MPs on a week when the Russians are threatening, trade wars, all the rest of it. This is panic.' Healey said: 'He's challenging a party leader, Nigel Farage. He's challenging a party that did very well in the local elections, he's challenging a leader that is soft on Putin, that wants to sell off the NHS, that is making massive promises that he won't fund and can't deliver. 'Why the prime minister is saying this is that we are facing across the board, irrespective of party, a crisis of people's confidence and conviction that government can make a difference and anything can change the things that they see are wrong in this country.' He added: 'Keir Starmer is absolutely right to challenge Nigel Farage against these easy, soft solutions, and the promises that are false and he can never deliver.' Defence Secretary @JohnHealey_MP reaffirms Keir Starmer is "not panicking" when it comes to the rise of Reform UK, stressing it was "absolutely right" of the PM to challenge Nigel Farage in a speech on more: — Sky News (@SkyNews) June 1, 2025 The pair clashed as new analysis revealed Farage is on course for 10 Downing Street with a comfortable Commons majority. A calculation based on the most recent opinion polls suggests Reform UK would end up with 362 seats if a general election was held tomorrow. Labour would have 136 MPs elected, followed by the Lib Dems with 62 and the SNP with 38, the Electoral Calculus assessment suggested. In yet more bad news for Kemi Badenoch, the Conservatives would be the fifth-largest party with just 22 seats. The result would hand Farage a 74-seat majority, big enough for Reform UK to be able to govern without the need to rely on the support of other parties.

Faraday Future Holds First Annual Stockholders' Day, Company Provides FX Product Updates, Confirms FX Super One Launch Timing, and Secures 600 New Deposits from Multi-Channel Network (MCN) Agencies
LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc. (NASDAQ: FFAI) ('Faraday Future', 'FF' or 'Company'), a California-based global shared intelligent electric mobility ecosystem company, held its first Annual Stockholders' Day on Saturday, May 31, at the Company's global headquarters in Los Angeles. Attendees included stockholders and other Company guests who experienced Company presentations and updates, and personalized FF and FX vehicle ride and drive experiences. The event also offered an open Q&A session with FF executives and a special private dinner after the event for stockholders, offering an exclusive opportunity to engage directly with Company leadership. Words of encouragement from some of the Company's newest B2B partners were also delivered at the event. 'I want to personally thank all of the guests for being here at our very first 'Annual Stockholders' Day. It was a genuine pleasure to extend a welcoming hand to everyone who attended this event,' said Co-CEO YT Jia. 'This was more than just another Company event, it showed our unwavering commitment to stockholder engagement, long-term value creation, and full commitment to our 'Stockholders-First' principle.' FX Product and Brand Updates The Company plans to host the first exclusive offline product launch event for the FX Super One on June 29, tailored for five key groups: FF stockholders and investors; B2B sales partners and prospects; global supply chain partners; media, influencers and KOLs; co-creation officers and celebrities. Subsequently, FX will host a large-scale public launch event on July 17, the 'Super One Online Global Product Launch,' targeting retail consumers and opening up the large-scale online B2C paid pre-orders. FX Super One has now officially entered the parts procurement and production preparation phase. Internally, we've already started the countdown sprint toward having our first production vehicle off-line by year-end. Development of our second model and future products is also progressing steadily and according to plan. The Company is seeing strong momentum with B2B pre-orders for the FX brand. With the latest paid pre-order agreements, totaling 600 units, signed with two MCN agencies: CreatoRev and Good Deal, total binding B2B deposits for FX Super One now cover over 2,500 non-binding pre-orders. This marks significant progress toward FX's goal to disrupt the market dominance of some leading market players such as the Cadillac Escalade. CreatoRev and Good Deal will also collaborate as paid co-creation partners, enhancing the AI-MPV experience. This deep co-creation with leading American MCNs marks a breakthrough and key innovation in FX's Co-Creation Ecosystem Online Direct Sales. Through this, we broke away from influencer advertising and pioneered an end-to-end B2B2C co-creation ecosystem model between an automaker and MCN-affiliated creators, a model that's never been seen before in the global auto industry. At this point, FX's B2B pre-orders now expand to three major categories: FF Par (Partner) program; commercial rental and livery companies; and livestream ecommerce MCN agencies. In the first phase, we are planning to expand our reach across eight U.S. states (California, New York, Florida, Texas, Washington, New Jersey, Neveda, and Massachusetts). FX is expecting to unveil the FX 4 product plan in Q3 2025 and begin accepting pre-orders before year end. Positioned as 'the disruptor of RAV4 in the AIEV era,' the FX 4 is the planned model with the greatest potential to become a true blockbuster and unlock the mainstream market within FX's current product lineup. Company Operation Updates On the user operations front, the Company is accelerating the digitalization, systemization, and IT integration of its user engagement ecosystem, a key accomplishment for the mass production and delivery of FX next year. On the after-sales service front, the Company is advancing the FX Service Par program, working to quickly establish collaborations with major automotive service providers, dealerships, and aftermarket partners. The Company is building a robust internal R&D system, especially centered on bringing much of the software and AI, bringing the core technologies, software, and AI capabilities in our $300,000 flagship FF 91 to the FX product line. In the second half of the year, our voice interaction system based on large language models and the full FF ecosystem of services could be deployed in the planned FX Super One and FX 4. The Company is working to complete the full-vehicle engineering, supply chain integration, testing and validation, mass production readiness, and U.S. regulatory compliance for the Super One and launching the hardware development of the FX 4. FF has successfully built a complete cycle for the FF 91—from product definition to after-sales support. Leveraging our 'Light, Swift, and Empowering' model, FX is able to complete this entire process in less time than the industry average. Middle East Updates As part of FF's global strategy, the Company's Middle East facility in Ras Al Khaimah Economic Zone (RAKEZ) is now ready for occupancy. The local team will be taking over shortly, bringing international production capacity another step closer to reality. In the second half of the year, and contingent on available funding, FX aims to begin production of the FX Super One in the Middle East. The Middle East strategy presents four key values: Faster and more streamlined compliance processes; A high concentration of high net-worth users with strong demand for luxury business-class vehicles like the Super One; A critical opportunity to train our teams and validate our operational systems in preparation for large-scale U.S. market execution; and Visibility from FX's production, sales, and delivery, which will demonstrate our value and could bring strategic investors to the region.
