The Big Tech Show: From cookery demos to Ford's first female UK-Ireland boss, Lisa Brankin has a plan to revive Ford's sales with EVs
The managing director grew up in county Antrim just outside Lisburn and used to help her father at work, who was a self-employed coal merchant. Lisa Brankin attended the University of Ulster in Jordanstown and studied home economics. The Antrim native went on to work for British Gas as a home service advisor where she did cooking demonstrations.
However, the managing director made the move to Ford because she said she was fed up being called a professional housewife.

Massive car brand recalls over 103,000 MORE motors due to ‘clicking' or ‘rattling' noise
Read on for checks owners can do Rear-ly serious Massive car brand recalls over 103,000 MORE motors due to 'clicking' or 'rattling' noise MASSIVE car giant has issued an urgent recall for over 103,000 more vehicles – after owners reported a mysterious 'clicking' or 'rattling' noise coming from their motors. Ford is recalling more than 103,000 F-150 pickups in the US after the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) flagged damaged axle bolts. 4 Ford recalls F-150s over dodgy bolts Credit: Reuters 4 The car brand ordered 103,000 pickups back to the garage Credit: Alamy The issue could cause a 'clicking' or 'rattling' noise while driving, and in the worst-case scenario, may affect the vehicle's handling - prompting the safety warning and recall. They were recalled after faulty axle bolts were linked to potential rollaways and loss of drive power. A broken axle bolt can damage the axle hub splines - the parts that transfer power from the axle to the wheels. If the splines are damaged, vehicles could roll away when in park without the handbrake on, or lose drive power while on the move, raising the risk of a crash, the US auto safety body said. The report warns that a loose rear axle bolt could cause a clicking noise, while a broken bolt might produce a rattling sound. Ford dealers will replace the rear axle shaft assemblies free of charge to fix the problem. The recall covers F-150 models from 2023 to 2025, with NHTSA estimating around 1% of vehicles are affected. CHECKS & PRECAUTIONS There are checks and precautions that drivers can take to check if they are affected by the recall. Drivers following these steps can also reduce the risk while waiting for the official repair. Listen out for noises: Pay attention to any unusual clicking or rattling coming from the rear of the truck, especially when parked or driving.

Ford dealership files for bankruptcy after recall sparked freeze in sales – but owner insists it's 'business as usual' HISTORY OF RECALLS This isn't the first time Ford has had to issue a recall for its popular F-150 series — the model has faced previous fixes for issues ranging from engine glitches to brake problems. Ford has recalled several F-150 models - along with other Ford and Lincoln vehicles - due to potential brake fluid leaks from the brake master cylinder, which can impact braking performance. There have been recalls for the potential loss of power brake assist. Some F-150s, along with other models like the Bronco and Explorer, have been recalled due to potential engine valve issues, where intake valves could fracture and cause engine failure. The F-150 has also been subject to recalls for issues like rearview camera software defects and potential transmission problems that can cause unexpected downshifts. Rear shock absorber external reservoir corrosion was also a problem associated with these models. Meanwhile, the 2025 Ranger reported missing or loose driver's seat bolts. Buying a used car?

Legendary carmaker is launching new range of cheapest ever EVs boasting enough energy to ‘power a house for 6 DAYS'
PLUGGED IN Legendary carmaker is launching new range of cheapest ever EVs boasting enough energy to 'power a house for 6 DAYS' A LEGENDARY carmaker is launching a new range of its cheapest ever EVs. The cars are being created using a "revolutionary" process following a three-year project. 1 Ford's new EVs will be built at the company's Louisville plant in the US but are expected to be offered globally This scheme allows the cars to boast enough energy to "power a house for six days", according to the boss of the company. Ford is releasing the Universal EV Platform for a mid-size, double-cab pick-up truck that will be on sale in 2027, priced at $30,000 (£22,000). While the new EVs will be built at Ford's Louisville plant in the US, the vehicles are expected to be offered globally. It comes after the recent signing of trade deals between the US and the UK. The UK Government has also revealed a £650 million grant could knock up to £3,750 off the price of low-priced EVs. Ford CEO Jim Farley said more models using the process will follow, as first reported by Autocar. These will reportedly include a hatchback, crossover, van and a three-bench SUV. These are likely to start at around the same price. The new range is also being used to boost sales in the US market, and is likely to be seen as an endorsement of Donald Trump's policy to focus on domestic manufacturing to boost the US economy. Iconic British car brand to begin 'new era' with 'urban SUV' to be launched next year Farley said the process uses battery cells made at Ford's new Blue Oval Battery Park in Michigan. He said there were "no guarantees" with the project, and added: 'It is a bet. There is risk. I cannot 100% say this will work. There is an automotive graveyard full of projects that have not worked.' In his statement, Farley highlighted the fact that Ford will create its new EVs in the US. He said competitors "build their vehicles in Asia and import them from abroad. This is not what we are doing. We took on the challenge that others have stopped doing. 'This project is bigger than Ford motor cars. It is about our country."

Tesla set to enter UK's domestic energy market
Elon Musk's Tesla is plotting to enter the British energy market and supply households in the coming months. The company has sought approval for an energy licence from UK regulator Ofgem in order to take on energy supply giants including British Gas owner Centrica and Octopus Energy. It hopes to start supplying energy to homes and businesses in England, Scotland and Wales as soon as next year. Tesla Energy Ventures applied for the licence last month, according to a new filing published by Ofgem. The application was signed by Andrew Payne, director of the group's energy business in Europe. The electric car manufacturer, run by the world's richest man, also has a solar energy and battery storage business. It comes around two years after Tesla first started hiring for a head of operations to run its proposed energy supply business. Tesla has been involved in the UK energy market since 2020, when it was granted a licence to be an electricity generator. In the US, the group has been an electricity supplier in Texas for the past three years. It comes amid a backdrop of waning demand for Tesla's electric vehicles across Europe in recent months, though Tesla sales in Ireland are down just 4.4% this year overall.
