Description:
Leeds-based TV and domestic appliance manufacturer Hisense still has “lots of space for growth” after recently surpassing £300m in annual revenue, the firm's UK vice-president has told The Yorkshire Post. <br/>The British arm of the Chinese technology giant launched in this country in 2012 with an initial focus in this country on selling fridges. But in the years since it has substantially expanded its product range including offering state-of-the-art televisions.<br/><br/>In its recently published annual results for 2023, the company recorded revenue of £300.4m, 25 per cent on 2022. Profit stood at £2.3m, 43 per cent higher than the previous year.<br/><br/>The British operation is a small cog in a much bigger wheel, with Hisense having around 100,000 employees globally, a turnover of almost $30bn and its own vast research and development centres across the world.<br/><br/>Meeting The Yorkshire Post at the company’s impressive new offices and showroom at the White Rose Office Park, vice-president Howard Grindrod said the UK operation is already on course to beat the 2023 revenue figure in 2024 and sees further growth on the horizon.<br/><br/>\

_how-arnold-schwarzenegger-became-a-billionaire.webp "Arnold Schwarzenegger has played many roles in his 76 years: bodybuilder, box office star, bureaucrat, and now, billionaire. <br/><br/>The Terminator and Kindergarten Cop star used his muscles and charm to be crowned Mr. Universe four times, then conquer Hollywood and win California’s top political office. Along the way he has spun his fame into fortune. The 76-year-old star is now worth more than $1 billion, according to Forbes’ estimates. <br/> <br/>Schwarzenegger initially struggled to secure acting roles because of his thick accent. But, between 1970 and 2019, he churned out around 50 films, which made $5.5 billion at the box office. <br/><br/>Read the full story on Forbes: https://www.forbes.com/sites/jemimamcevoy/2024/05/30/how-arnold-schwarzenegger-became-a-billionaire/?sh=37d2ee1274fb<br/><br/>Subscribe to FORBES: https://www.youtube.com/user/Forbes?sub_confirmation=1<br/><br/>Fuel your success with Forbes.

_the-best-biscuit-dunker-in-britain-has-been-found.webp "Slam dunk! The best biscuit dunker in Britain has been found – and it’s a creative designer from North London.<br/><br/>Simon Girma won the inaugural National Dunking Championship at Underbelly Boulevard in Soho, London.<br/><br/>The tea and biscuit lover, aged 35, entered the McVitie's tournament which challenged eight contestants to compete in a ‘dunk off’.<br/><br/>They submerge their biscuit in a hot beverage for the longest duration possible without it breaking – with one point awarded for every second it was submerged.<br/><br/>Upon removing the biscuit, it must remain intact without breaking – failing this, the participant loses the round.<br/><br/>The person with the most points after three dunk offs wins, and goes on to the next round, under the watchful eye of biscuit experts.<br/><br/>Each round features a different biscuit, challenging contestants' knowledge of each one’s dunking characteristics.<br/><br/>Simon was crowned victorious after a series of intense dunk off rounds – where he played a Digestive, Rich Tea, Chocolate Hobnob and Gingernut – including a sudden death tie breaker.<br/><br/>In the final, both Simon and his opponent Bruno got 58 points over three rounds – and as a result, they went on to a tie break round, with Simon scoring 25 to Bruno’s 23 points.<br/><br/>And the biscuit that delivered the winning dunk? The Chocolate Hobnob, beloved of dunkers around the world.<br/><br/>Of his win, Simon said: “I’m so proud to be the winner of the first ever McVitie’s Dunking Championship.<br/><br/>“It was an amazing competition – credit to all the other contestants who were worthy opponents, but I knew my extensive dunk training regime would come good.<br/><br/>“Having a slow and steady hand, and lots of practicing with a variety of biscuits so you know each one well.”<br/><br/>“It just goes to show that having a biscuit with my tea has finally paid off.<br/><br/>A panel of judges – led by the biscuit makers chief dunking officer Dr Helen Pilcher - oversaw gameplay.<br/><br/>One of the standout moments of the championship was the Jaffa Cake round – a less common dunk choice, and one which flummoxed players thanks to its unique sponge-like texture.<br/><br/>The Rich Tea round also proved perilous, as contestants worked to keep their nerve and avoid a dunking disaster.<br/><br/>Research conducted by Dr Pilcher found a Hobnob can withstand 12.5 seconds of dunking - depending on hot drink temperature.<br/><br/>Whereas the ‘dunking danger zone’ of a Rich Tea kicks in at 8.8 seconds – deeming it a higher risk biscuit.<br/><br/>Dr Pilcher said: “Being the judge of the National Dunking Championship felt like the perfect evolution of my role as chief dunking officer.<br/><br/>“The contestants were all amazing and had brilliant biscuit knowledge.<br/><br/>“As a dunking enthusiast myself, it was extremely rewarding to see my dunking research put into practice and brought to life in such a unique way.”")
