London’s elite residents have scored a decisive legal victory that could have far-reaching implications for construction firms and developers across the UK property market. A High Court judge has ruled in favour of Laing O’Rourke Construction South Limited’s clients at One Hyde Park, one of London’s most exclusive residential complexes, ordering the company to pay £35.1 million in damages related to defective pipework and structural issues. The ruling, handed down earlier this week in the UK capital, marks a rare and significant win for freeholders in a protracted construction dispute. A High-Profile Legal Battle Over Construction Failings The case centres…
Private aviation across the Asia-Pacific region is experiencing a significant upswing in demand, fuelled by economic growth, expanding wealth, and changing travel patterns among business leaders and high-net-worth individuals. At the heart of this momentum is a region that stretches from the mature markets of Australasia and Japan to rapidly expanding hubs in Southeast Asia and India. The recent Singapore Airshow — long acknowledged as Asia’s flagship aerospace event — has become a focal point for business-aviation manufacturers, charter operators and service providers to display their latest aircraft and strategies to a growing pool of customers. A Diverse Market with…
Welcome to the February Edition of Business Enquirer Magazine – Issue 145 As 2026 gathers pace, global industries are being reshaped by shifting consumer expectations, intensified competition and a growing emphasis on execution. This edition of Business Enquirer brings together the leaders, platforms and ideas turning ambition into measurable impact across business, technology and global markets. Our front cover feature, Reimagining Indulgence with Kwench by KFC, explores how one of the world’s most recognisable brands is redefining relevance in an increasingly crowded quick service landscape. KFC has always sold more than food. It has sold feeling. Yet in a category…
There are brands that sell food, and there are brands that sell feeling. KFC, for all its scale and global familiarity, has always belonged to the latter category. Its red and white stripes, its unmistakable flavour, and its promise of simple joy form a universal shorthand. But legacy is not a licence to stand still. In an industry where new challengers emerge every week, even the most iconic brands must continually reimagine what relevance tastes like. That question sits at the heart of Dhiren Karnani’s role as Global Director of New Concepts at KFC. His remit is not simply to…
In an industry defined by cycles, geology and national significance, few companies carry the weight, scale and legacy of Codelco. As the world’s largest copper producer, the Chilean state owned miner operates at a scale that shapes global supply, influences downstream industries and underpins one of Latin America’s most important economies. Yet scale alone does not explain Codelco’s enduring relevance. What defines the company today is how it balances history with transformation, operational continuity with technological change, and copper leadership with a rapidly expanding role in the energy transition. Founded in 1976 following the nationalisation of Chile’s major copper assets,…
There is a quiet but decisive shift taking place inside large enterprises. It is not defined by wholesale reinvention, nor by the fashionable rhetoric of tearing everything down to start again. Instead, it is characterised by something far more pragmatic and, ultimately, more difficult to execute: modernisation without destruction. In an era dominated by AI headlines and cloud-first mandates, the real challenge for enterprise leaders is not whether to transform, but how to do so without undermining the decades of systems, processes and intellectual property that continue to run the global economy. This is the context in which TIBCO now…

Green SLA dashboards can hide a red user experience. Two anonymized SAP environments show why five signals in your ticket history—incident‑to‑service request ratio, time‑in‑status, aging, severity mix, and mean time between incidents—diagnose system health faster and make next month easier than this one. By Brad Nicolaisen Green SLAs with a red experience is one of the most common paradoxes in enterprise software. The fix isn’t more stopwatch discipline; rather, it’s reading the evidence you already own. Your SAP ticket history is that evidence. Read properly, it’s an EKG of your ERP: monthly spikes are arrhythmias, incident‑to‑service request ratio is blood…
Black Sheep Coffee did not emerge because the market was waiting for a new name. It arrived because two founders were prepared to build something anyway, even if that meant starting with little more than a trestle table, a rented espresso machine and an untested belief that coffee could be done better. Gabriel Shohet, Co-founder and Co-owner of Black Sheep Coffee, traces the beginnings of the business back to a friendship formed at university. He and Eirik Holth, his Co-founder and Co-owner, were roommates before their careers took them in different directions. Years later, they made a decisive move in…
In the heart of the Democratic Republic of Congo, one of the most strategically important mining operations in the world is entering a defining phase. Kamoa Copper is no longer viewed simply as a high grade copper mine or a flagship African project. It has become a critical pillar in the global copper supply chain at a time when electrification, energy transition and infrastructure investment are driving unprecedented demand for the metal. As governments and industries race to decarbonise, copper has moved from being a cyclical industrial commodity to a structural necessity. Electric vehicles, renewable energy systems, data centres and…
