Vodafone CEO seeks return to growth in 18 to 24 months
2014-09-24 09:04:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) Vodafone UK CEO Jeroen Hoencamp told reporters at a dinner in London that he has set a target of returning the operator back to profit and revenue growth in 18 to 24 months, Bloomberg reports. The difficulty is the UK's highly subsidised, heavily regulated market and high penetration level, he said. Hoencamp sees improving service quality as the key to meeting the growth objective, saying "Nothing else matters if we don't focus on network. It was the one message that came through loud and clear from our customers." Vodafone is winning fewer customers than rivals O2 and EE. It came in last amongst major UK mobile carriers for call quality in the first half, according to Root Metrics. Vodafone UK is investing GBP 19 billion in its network over two years, through its Project Spring programme, building up its TV and broadband services to add to its mobile plans. Hoencamp said the UK wasn't ready for bundles of TV, web and mobile services, adding that his focus was on offering bundled services to enterprise customers, where there is clear demand.

Mercedes labor chief seeks UAW foothold in Alabama

The head labor official on Daimler AG's supervisory board says he considers it "unacceptable" that the German automaker's Mercedes plant in Alabama stands alone among the company's factories around the world without union representation for its workers. Michael Brecht, who took over as head of Daimler's works councils and as deputy chairman of the board in April, said in a phone interview with The Associated Press on Tuesday that he supports the United Auto Workers' efforts to gain recognition at the plant located near Tuscaloosa.

UPS Seeks to Avert Holiday Shipping Crunch With Mobile Villages
2014-09-20 09:25:57| Air Courier - Topix.net
United Parcel Service Inc., working to prevent a repeat of 2013's holiday crunch, plans to open 14 temporary shipping facilities it calls "mobile distribution center villages" to help expedite deliveries. The groups of modular structures -- similar to portable school buildings, pieced together in parking lots with dozens of bays that UPS trucks back up to -- are part of $500 million in capital spending being expedited for the seasonal holiday peak.
