London's Heathrow Airport 'responded well' to outage in March, review finds
London's Heathrow Airport responded well to a major power outage in March that forced Britain's biggest hub to shut down for almost a day, a review commissioned by the airport concluded on Wednesday. "We have concluded that the Airport responded well on the day and was able to restore full operations smoothly the following day," the review, led by former transport minister Ruth Kelly, said. "The Review has, however, identified a number of lessons learned and makes several recommendations on how the Airport should now further enhance its ability to respond to major incidents such as this one."

João Rosa, Founding Partner of Limerston Capital, commented: "We are delighted have completed the acquisition of CyberCrowd for our new cybersecurity platform investment. We believe that with this acquisition, we have formed a solid starting point for a platform in cyber security, which will bring sought-after service capabilities and end-markets to the Group. We look forward to working closely with Mike and the team to capitalise on the many opportunities ahead."
