New plan revealed for old Toby Carvery building near Glasgow
The proposal outlines several amendments to the external appearance of the old Hurlet Toby Carvery building on Glasgow Road to fit it out for use as a specialist veterinary ophthalmic referral clinic. The plans have been submitted by Solihull-based Veterinary Vision for the premises, which will treat animals suffering from vision problems.

The purpose of the dog walking area will primarily be to provide a secure place where dogs can go out and relieve themselves. The current application, which is currently awaiting decision, was received and validated by East Renfrewshire Council this month. The old Toby Carvery pictured several years ago (Image: Newsquest) The site previously traded as Brewer's Fayre before later operating as Toby Carvery before its closure in March 2019. Following the closure of the Toby Carvery, a funeral parlour operator intended to occupy the building, and secured planning consent for this change of use at appeal. A lease was agreed with a funeral director company to commence in June 2022, but it is understood that this use was very short lived as the property was returned to the market by May 2024. During 2024, terms were agreed for a new lease of the premises for the branch of the clinic and consent was obtained to allow this change of use. The refit will include five consultation rooms in which minor procedures can be conducted, together with three operating theatres and an associated preparation area. There will also be a separate recovery ward for dogs and cats, together with a reception with waiting areas that are separated for customers with dogs from those with cats. Ancillary facilities will include a conference/lecture room for staff training, administration offices, and staffroom/kitchen areas. Two upstairs rooms will be fitted out to enable staff members to rest between rounds for occasions when an animal must be kept in under supervision overnight.

Gymshark profits fall as tariffs threaten to squeeze US business
Gymshark's profits slipped in the year before President Trump's tariff regime threatened to squeeze its crucial American business and upend its 12-year streak of uninterrupted revenue growth. Pre-tax profits fell from £13.1 million to £11.9 million in the year to the end of July as the British athleisure brand invested in new stores in London, New York, Dubai, Amsterdam and Manchester. Ben Francis, the Solihull-based company's 32-year-old co-founder and chief executive, owns more than 70 per cent of the business, with US private equity firm General Atlantic and management the rest. No dividend was paid, but the pay of the company's highest-earning director rose to £1.15 million from £968,000 last year and almost twice the level paid in 2022. The decline in pre-tax profits

Birmingham Airport changes ahead of 'busiest Easter on record' as 650,000 passengers expected
Birmingham Airport has told passengers jetting off on their Easter holidays to expect a number of changes inside the terminal. The Solihull-based airport is bracing for its "busiest Easter on record" with an expected 15 per cent increase in customers year-on-year and more than 650,000 passengers expected through the doors for the Easter break. This Easter, Dubai, Antalya, Alicante and Palma de Mallorca are the most popular beach breaks and Amsterdam, Istanbul and Paris are the most sought-after city breaks from Birmingham. READ MORE: Birmingham Airport changes in 'busiest year ever' - from security and parking to new routes Get breaking news on BirminghamLive WhatsApp As the terminal braces for record numbers, BHX bosses have flagged a number of changes that passengers will see in the terminal following "a series of significant investments to enhance customer service". Birmingham Airport has also issued guidance for people travelling through security to help ensure a smooth experience as new changes are rolled out. A key change, introduced in March, is the opening of two additional security screening lanes at the airport. Described as "two state-of-the-art" lanes, the new lanes will have a capacity to successfully screen up to 3,600 passengers and their luggage per hour in peak times. However this will only work at its best if people stick to packing the correct liquids in their hand luggage and avoid non-compliant items. At the start of March, BHX appointed a new assisted travel partnership to in a bid to "focus on passenger experience enhancements." From April 1, Wilson James was announced as the new operators of the assisted travel system in the terminal. Birmingham Airport also revealed plans to invest £10 million into the development of an additional outbound baggage carousel in the North Terminal, as well as a reconfiguration and expansion of the south immigration area. The airport said this will bring in "potential for faster processing times". Work on a 'full reconfiguration' of the south arrivals area is already under way, but no fixed date has been confirmed for when passengers will see this change come into effect. Al Titterington, Terminal Operations Director of Birmingham Airport said: 'We are preparing for our busiest Easter holiday getaway on record with many passengers jetting off to enjoy the spring holidays. 'Since last Easter we have invested in our security area to ensure ease and simplicity for our customers travelling through the airport. "Our security hall that opened in June last year, was further complemented with a further two screening machines, enabling large electricals to stay in hand luggage, but more importantly allows liquids in containers under 100ml to remain in bags too. 'Our colleagues will be on hand in the terminal to assist customers on their way through the airport. However, we encourage all to look at our website for the latest guidance on travel.'
