Pym & Wildsmith (Metal Finishers) Limited, which dates back to 1979 and is based at Bramshall Industrial Estate near Uttoxeter, appointed administrators on June 3, according to a notice published in the London Gazette.
The firm, which specialises in metal treatment and coating, appointed Mark Blackman and James Saunders of KR8 Advisory as joint administrators.
Pym & Wildsmith has established itself as one of the Midlands’ foremost industrial finishing businesses, offering services including e-coating, powder coating, paint spraying, shot blasting, and pre-treatment. The company has provided services to clients across numerous sectors, including automotive, construction and engineering, defence, energy, rail, architecture, transport and water.
Having been in operation for 47 years, the industrial metal finishing company was originally founded in 1979 by Stephen Pym and Tony Wildsmith.

The business transitioned from family ownership to 100% employee ownership in 2022, reports the Express.
On its website, the company describes itself as “one of the Midlands’ leading specialist industrial finishing companies”, supplying “high-quality services to a range of blue-chip customers”.
They added: “Pym & Wildsmith has over 45 years’ experience in the provision of high quality industrial finishes to UK industry. Our work can be seen in a variety of contexts, from heavy earth moving equipment to highly specialised small batches.
“We are based at our headquarters in Bramshall, Staffordshire. Therefore, we have access to the UK’s major motorway networks and road system. Our extensive office and manufacturing facilities include an EPD facility, box ovens, spray booths and pickling tanks,as well as a technical department.

“Over the past 5 years a programme of investment in processes, equipment and technology, has resulted in new products and services, as well as a growth in sales and customers.”
The firm has garnered numerous positive reviews on Google.
One states: “The BEST experience with any finisher. Fantastic customer service. Responsive, organised, never have to chase for an answer and they do what they say they will do. They could not have been better.”
Another added: “Longstanding and successful company. Very professional and quality service.”
Two men have since been arrested and remain in police custody
Watch the moment thieves smash into coffee shop in latest city centre break-in
Shocking CCTV footage captures the moment a gang targeted a popular Belfast city centre coffee shop in the latest in a series of break-ins affecting hospitality businesses.
The footage shows the suspects pushing a wheelie bin up to the front of Jukō on Gloucester Street before using it to gain access.
One of the men can then be seen repeatedly kicking the shop’s front window until it gives way, allowing him to climb inside.

Once inside, the intruder is seen grabbing the shop’s tip jar before attempting to force open the till. Moments later, the intruder alarm sounds, prompting the suspect to flee back out through the smashed window before making off.
The incident is the latest in a spate of similar attacks on hospitality businesses across Belfast city centre, with café and restaurant owners increasingly raising concerns about overnight break-ins and the impact they are having on already struggling businesses.
Police confirmed that two men, aged 38 and 32, have since been arrested in connection with the burglary.
Speaking to Belfast Live, co-owner of Jukō, Shane McGann, described how he had been on holiday in Porto when he was alerted to the break-in.

“I got the phone call from the security company when I was in Porto last night, so I was lying in bed waiting on the alarm to go to the airport, and the company rang to tell me the alarm was going off, so I checked the cameras remotely and seen somebody had broken in, so then I had to try and ring everybody in Belfast to try and get it sorted out, but all I was thinking about when I was flying home was the impact of this,” he said.
“I just don’t think when people do things like this that they really contemplate that this has a much wider impact than getting away with a few pounds.”
While the total of what the pair made off with is currently unknown, Shane believes that they may have made off with a potentially substantial amount of cash.
“It looks like they have used a screwdriver to break in through the hatch window. They’ve jumped in, smashed a lot of stuff on their way in and then started by rummaging through the tips jar.

“The tips had just been split, so there were envelopes there for the staff, so it was a bit more than just a bit of loose change. Unfortunately, they also managed to rip the till out of the drawer and got away with that.
“We haven’t yet been able to verify how much they got away with, but it could be a relatively substantial amount of cash. Although thankfully, we’re not a cash-heavy business, so it wasn’t the worst.
Shane added that the break-in will have a wider impact on the business, which has been forced to miss out on a day of trading.
“We have had to close today, so that is a day’s worth of trade lost. Then there are the repairs on top of that and the money that is now missing from the till.

“We’ve also got staff that are due in today, food that was due to be sold today and we are having to figure out how to minimise the impact that it has on us.”
Shane said that the break-in has caused a massive concern for them, having happened so close to the Fleadh and has forced him and his business partner to rethink how they will operate next week.
“I know there has been a lot of talk about the state of the city centre just before the Fleadh, and for us, that’s obviously a massive concern. We’ve licensed Jukō from the end of this week, so we’re turning it into a pop-up pub, but we’ve now got to completely rethink how we operate next week.”
Inspector Jackson said: “Shortly after 2:35am, it was reported that entry was gained to a property in the area and a sum of money was taken during the incident.

“The men were subsequently arrested on suspicion of burglary. They remain in police custody at this time.
“Our enquiries are ongoing, and police would appeal to anyone who has any information which might assist to contact us using our witness appeal form at https://reporting.psni.police.uk/appeals, quoting reference 129 27/07/26, or to call us on 101.

As the smell of smoke and burning drifts around my neighbourhood from wildfires in nearby north Wales and Manchester, I worry that the consequences of this climate crisis are getting closer.
The decline of our planet is no longer just a physical threat; it is a mental health emergency. The Climate Cares Centre – the world’s first research hub dedicated to climate change and mental health – warns that the climate crisis is affecting the mental wellbeing of hundreds of millions of people around the world.
So navigating tricky emotions in the age of rapid climate change is a significant challenge.
According to 2024 survey by the independent research tracker Climate Barometer, worry (43%) and sadness (20%) are the most frequently felt emotions linked to climate change by the British public. Many people also stated: “I feel no emotion about climate change.” In a world full of competing crises, feelings linked to the climate crisis can be hard to put into words.

Herein lies the problem: some of these feelings are so profoundly new or still emerging that we do not possess the language to articulate them. And if we can’t name a feeling, how are we supposed to process it?

Linguist Helen Bromhead notes in her studies on environmental discourse that “new words can go from specialist areas into wider public spheres. Existing meanings of emotion words shape new coinages”. In effect, we reshape the words we already know to fit our new reality.
In his 2019 book Earth Emotions, environmental philosopher Glenn Albrecht argues that we have lost our emotional bearings. In response, he created a psychoterratic (psyche-earth) vocabulary to help give us a map. His most famous coinage is the term solastalgia which he defines as “the homesickness you feel when you are still at home”. It is that kind of specific, localised grief you might feel when, for instance, a familiar beach is eroded by rising seas.
This growing struggle – across the arts, politics, and academia – to describe our climate emotions shows we urgently need a new vocabulary to express the unprecedented times we’re going through.
During my PhD, I researched how writers could use creative writing to show the real-world impact of our emotional ties to environment as the climate shifts.
There is no one story in the story of the climate crisis; instead, there is a collection of stories which can be told from multiple perspectives and across different species. To describe this, I coined the term “emotional elasticity”. This refers to the inherent flexibility of short stories as a medium to explore how we feel about ecological disruption.

Our feelings are not static. They can be elastic, bouncing back and forth, pinging in different directions, with variable tensions. My research showed that the short story is a powerful tool to build bridges between people’s different emotional experiences of the climate crisis.
Creative works can represent emotions emerging so quickly that our brains can’t quite catch up with them. In my short story collection, Birds Are Liars (2025), I created “feeling arcs” whereby a reader witnesses a character going through a journey of emotions in response to the climate crisis. I also focused on portraying physical sensations in an effort to connect with emotions that readers may already be experiencing, but might not yet have the language to describe or fully comprehend and process.
Emotions can be consciously interpreted, but they often start as physical reactions. In my short story, Twitcher, an avid birdwatcher’s emotions are unnamed, the reader is shown his physical anxiety – twitching and restlessness. This is how the reader senses and may also relate to his unspoken dread.
New climate-related lexicons and stories can give readers and writers the language needed to answer the enduring question, which is also the title of one of my short stories, often posed in psychotherapy: “And how did that make you feel?”

As global temperatures soar and climate progress stalls, our emotional wellbeing is also at stake. If left unchecked, this mental health crisis will burn us out faster than the planet itself. We need new words, metaphors and ways to understand the meaning of the climate crisis. By acting as our mental instruction manuals, these stories and images can help us navigate, survive and somehow emotionally process an irrevocably changing Earth.
Residents who claim they’ve seen people urinating in public, harassing members of the public and causing disorder to people are welcoming the PSPO. Ian Wagstaff said it is a “very positive and necessary step”.
He said: “I have seen a range of recurring issues, mostly around St Benedict’s Court where large groups of people gather drinking, shouting and getting into fights. It also occurs in All Saints’ Church Yard, and on the benches by Sainsbury’s.”
For parents like Ian, he said anti-social behaviour can be “scary for families” and make them feel “unsafe”. He added: “My main concern is that our shared public spaces stop being welcoming and inclusive for everyone.
“No one should feel afraid, uncomfortable or forced to avoid parts of their own town. It also hits our economy hard, when people feel put off visiting shops.

“Over time, this behaviour erodes community spirit, lowers pride in our town and creates a divide between those who use spaces responsibly and those who disrupt them.”
Ian believes the PSPO is not a “cure-all of its own”, but it is an “essential foundation” to try and sort the problem. He said: “It gives authorities clear, consistent powers to intervene early and stop low-level disorder before it gets worse.
“It will work best alongside ongoing community engagement, better access to support for those who need it, and continued investment in our town centre.”
One woman, who wished to remain anonymous, also thinks the PSPO will be a “good thing”. From her flat, she continues to see acts of anti-social behaviour, including drug dealing and public drinking.

These take place at a park near her flat, which is covered by the PSPO. She added: “It’s quite concerning. I think it’s a shame that people bring this part of town down. It’s somewhere I don’t feel comfortable going on my own.”
On the PSPO, the woman said it highlights that “people don’t want that sort of behaviour in the town centre”. She added: “I just think it needs to be enforced because otherwise they will just carry on and do it.”
Another woman, who also wished to not be named, said she “constantly sees kids messing about in the centre”, as well as people “peeing in the street”. “It’s disgusting,” she said.
The woman added: “It makes people seem quite intimidating and then it puts you off going to the city centre. The police don’t seem to be around when you need them.

“However, this PSPO will hopefully be better as it will stop people committing crimes or being annoying. Then, it won’t make people so it won’t make people so worried about going into town.”
Mark Chandler, who lives in the Oxmoor estate in Huntingdon, feels the PSPO is a “great idea”, however he feels the area it covers is “limited”. He said: “Oxmoor has been forgotten about, they don’t care about the estate.
“We have problems around here. We have people going on motorbikes up and down the path, and Oxmoor is a cannabis centre. The police are not interested. They have the PSPO for the centre but not for anywhere else like here.”
Mark wants to see the police more “active” in Oxmoor, as well as the town centre. He said: “If this PSPO could be brought up to Oxmoor, it would make such a difference.”

A Cambridgeshire Police spokesperson said the PSPO has been introduced following concerns of anti-social behaviour and associated criminality including: drunkenness, urination or defecation, abusive language, intimidation, and behaviour that causes alarm or distress.
The spokesperson added: “Police have worked with Huntingdonshire District Council, housing providers, health services, charities, Probation and other agencies to reduce harm and address the underlying causes of these issues, however the proposed PSPO would provide an additional and proportionate tool to help prevent persistent and unreasonable behaviour from continuing, recurring or escalating in public spaces.
If approved, the order would allow specific restrictions or requirements to be enforced, with breaches potentially resulting in a fixed penalty notice or prosecution.
“The proposed order is intended to improve the quality of life for those who live, work in, and visit Huntingdon town centre, while supporting businesses and partners in making the area safer and more welcoming.

“Similar PSPOs have been used elsewhere in Huntingdonshire to address comparable issues and have been positively received by communities and partner agencies. We would work jointly with the district council to enforce the PSPO.”
Huntingdonshire District Council has been approached for further comment.
The classics professor whose translation of The Odyssey inspired Christopher Nolan’s film version apparently wasn’t happy with the final result.
Emily Wilson, a classical studies professor at the University of Pennsylvania, wrote the 2017 translation of the ancient Greek poem that inspired the 2026 blockbuster.
Despite calling the film “an entertaining way to hide from the high temperatures for a few hours” and noting that her teenagers “had a good time,” Wilson damned the film with faint praise, comparing it to “an elaborate Fourth of July fireworks display – and with about the same level of narrative and emotional depth.”
Advertisement
And while conceding that adaptations “needn’t and shouldn’t follow the original with anything like the exactitude of a translation,” Wilson called the film’s vision “too confused” and its characters “too underdeveloped to deliver what it half-promises in terms of big ideas – although it is very good at conveying big bangs and big giants.”
The film “lacks many of the elements that make the poem great,” Wilson argued, and “has nothing convincing to say about time, memory, history, war, or about the relationship between one warrior’s glorious return and the lives of his family, adversaries, comrades, friends and neighbours.”
It also “lacks psychological, emotional, political, and ethical depth,” she said, calling the narrative structure “gimmicky” and the script “abysmal.”
Wilson added: “None of the characters has convincing motivation for their actions or words. There are no sex scenes, and all the food looks horrible.”
Advertisement
She did say she was “humbled” that Nolan had cited her version of the first line of the poem, “Tell me about a complicated man,” but admitted she would “be ashamed to have written any part of this script.”
Yet despite the scathing critique, Wilson still called the film’s release “an event to celebrate” and praised Nolan for “doing his best to get the general public reading again.”
Major pension providers will help give entrepreneurs capital
Major UK pension providers have joined forces with Burnham’s Government to create a new £1billion fund for science and tech startups, fuelled by UK pension pots. The new PM promised this step will “unlock good growth in every postcode” and potentially deliver strong returns for savers.

The new UK Scale-up Fund is the first of its kind. It will use pension investments to back UK companies that are looking to scale up their businesses, potentially offering greater returns for investors in the long run. It’s being backed by institutional investors and the British Business Bank and aims to give local entrepreneurs the capital they need to grow without needing to look at foreign investors. Here is how it could affect your pension pot.
What does it mean for your pension?
Pension pots are not cash savings, they are investments and what your specific pot is invested in will depend on your risk appetite, circumstances, provider and personal choices. The new fund will see £1billion from affected pension pots invested in the specific startups.
The pension providers involved in the new fund handle defined contribution, defined benefit and Local Government Pension Scheme funds. The new £1billion fund is meant to provide better long-term returns for people invested in these pots, providing them a bigger total pot when they retire. While also using the investments to help science and tech startups grow.
What happens next?
For pension providers, the Government and the British Business Bank, there is still a lot to do to get the new fund off the ground. Starting with looking for an asset manager to handle the new £1billion investment pool.

However, everyday savers won’t need to take any action themselves as it should be managed by your pension provider.
Prime Minister Andy Burnham said: “Today sends a clear message: this is a vote of confidence in British business, British talent and British ambition.
“This new fund would help unlock good growth in every postcode, connecting pension investment with the entrepreneurs and technologies that will reindustrialise Britain and create the jobs of the future.
“That means more opportunities for working people, stronger returns for savers, and more businesses choosing to start, grow and stay in Britain.”

Chancellor of the Exchequer John Healey said: “We create great companies in Britain but don’t do enough to grow them with British capital and keep profits in the UK.
“I want the UK to become the best place in the world both to start and scale a business, with investment, jobs and skills in every region.
“We have the third largest Venture Capital market in the world and this new £1 billion fund will mean more British money to back British scale-ups and better returns for pension savers.”
Middlesbrough Council’s dog wardens have spoken out after three dogs were deliberately left with the out-of-hours team within 24 hours.
The council has warned that the dog warden service is not a rehoming centre, and intentionally abandoning pets is both distressing for the animals and puts unnecessary strain on a service meant for emergencies and stray dogs.
In a statement, the council said they felt forced to address the ongoing issue, as it is becoming an “increasingly concerning” trend in the area.
Dog wardens are responsible for responding to reports of lost and stray dogs, investigating animal-related incidents, and ensuring the welfare and safety of the animals involved – rather than being a place to surrender pets.

But Middlesbrough’s wardens say they are often being forced to take in animals that aren’t lost, but have been intentionally abandoned.

The team works around the clock to protect dogs and respond to genuine cases, but the rise in abandoned pets is placing increasing pressure on the service’s limited resources.
The council stressed that abandonment also leaves animals frightened and confused, and is neither a responsible nor humane solution.
The statement continued: “We understand that circumstances can change and that sometimes owners may find themselves unable to care for a dog.

“There are responsible ways of seeking help and support – abandoning an animal is not one of them.”
The council is urging pet owners who are no longer able to care for their animals to seek advice and support, rather than dumping them with the dog wardens.
“Three dogs in 24 hours is three too many,” the statement concluded.
“Let’s look after our animals and treat them with the care and compassion they deserve.”
Manchester United have been active in the summer transfer market and continue to be linked with various players including Bournemouth’s Alex Scott
Manchester United have enjoyed a busy start to the summer transfer window as Michael Carrick begins to shape his squad. The new boss has been strengthening his team as the club looks to continue their successful end to last season.

United have already brought in midfielders Andrey Santos and Youri Tielemans to address a key area of the pitch. Casemiro’s departure at the end of his contract and Manuel Ugarte’s injury during the World Cup made midfield a priority and the club have continued to be linked with other targets.
Bournemouth’s Alex Scott is among them following his impressive displays for the Cherries. However, United face competition from Chelsea for the 22-year-old’s signature.
Meanwhile, the club have announced the signing of teenage goalkeeper Kit Margetson, becoming the second shot-stopper to arrive at Old Trafford this summer. Here, Mirror Football looks at some of the biggest headlines surrounding United.
United have completed the signing of former Swansea City starlet Kit Margetson. The 20-year-old goalkeeper arrives after reaching the end of his contract with the Swans last month.
Margetson spent last season on loan at Connah’s Quay Nomads, helping the club reach the European spots in the Cymru Premier. He becomes the club’s fifth summer signing under Michael Carrick, following Santos, Telemans, experienced goalkeeper Karl Darlow and former Tottenham Hotspur youngster Tynan Thompson.
A club statement read: “Manchester United have agreed the signing of exciting young goalkeeper Kit Margetson, subject to registration. The 20-year-old was most recently at Swansea City, a club he’d been with since under-15s.
“Last season, he had his first taste of senior football on loan at Connah’s Quay Nomads and kept 10 clean sheets in 34 appearances, helping the Welsh side to qualify for European competition. Margetson has also earned youth international caps for Wales and made his Under-21s debut against Belarus in March. Everyone at United would like to welcome Kit to the club and wish him the very best of luck for the future.”

Margetson is the latest goalkeeper to join the club after Darlow, who was snapped up as a free agent from Leeds to be an experienced backup to Senne Lammens. Meanwhile, Andre Onana has returned to Trabzonspor on loan and both Radek Vitek and Altay Bayindir are also set to leave this summer.
Alex Scott move takes new twist
United could face a twist in their pursuit of Bournemouth’s Alex Scott as Chelsea plot their next steps. The 22-year-old featured in 37 league games as the club qualified for Europe for the first time in their history.
Sky Sports Germany reports that Chelsea are considering submitting a second offer for Scott. The west London club reportedly had an initial £64m bid rejected by Bournemouth, who have stated that the midfielder is not for sale.

Scott has given interested sides hope by rejecting a new Bournemouth contract. However, United have also been linked with Roma’s Manu Kone, Real Madrid’s Aurelien Tchouameni and Brighton’s Carlos Baleba as the club weigh up midfield targets.

Diane, who is currently appearing in the BBC sitcom Ann Droid, which she wrote, reunited with Ricky, for the new animated series, Alley Cats.
Alley Cats is the latest creation from the Ricky and follows the trials and tribulations of a group of feral cats from different walks of British society as they seek companionship while reflecting on the absurdities of everyday life.
The adult animated series comprises six 15-minute episodes and reunites several of Gervais’s After Life collaborators, who lend their voices to the foul-mouthed feline cast.
Diane, 50, joked “If Ricky asked me to do anything, obviously I’d do it. I would have made sandwiches, to be honest.”
She added: “I know you see the cats and you think, ‘Oh, aren’t they cute and lovely?’ And they have these little adventures, and then they just open their mouths. It’s sort of like Derek and Clive, they used to be these really sweary comedians.
“It was just the whole thing was as sick as it could be, and it’s sort of like that when we improvised as Alley Cats.”
Unlike many animated series, where actors record their lines separately in a voice booth, the cast of Alley Cats recorded the series together as an ensemble.
“It was lovely because we all know each other from After Life,” said Diane.

She added: “It’s basically the cast of After Life again, with a few new additions. And it’s such a treat as well to be able to just sit there and listen to Ricky improvise. You know, it feels like an honour, doesn’t it? I have a private audience with Ricky and all these amazing comics.
“I didn’t think of it as an animation. It’s basically a lot like After Life, and I think you had to think of it as just like a comedy.”
Speaking about her character and the show’s themes, she says: “Olive’s an idiot, and she’s Ricky’s half-sister, so she’s got a lot of funny lines. You know those best bits where you just pop up, say a line, disappear again, and then I can sit back and watch everyone else improvising and just enjoy my afternoon.
“That’s what Ricky does. He’ll do these really emotional, poignant pieces, and then all of a sudden he’ll have this massive gear change into filth, but it sort of works.

“You can do that, it’s sort of like magic. Yeah, it’s just these stray cats that have these little adventures, and they’re trying to make sense of the world and why humans are such idiots and are wrecking everything. It’s lovely, actually.”
The ensemble also includes Jo Hartley, Tom Basden, David Earl, Kerry Godliman, Andrew Brooke and Natalie Cassidy.
Alley Cats premieres on Netflix on Friday, August 7.
The homes form part of bigger plans to build up to 3,000 homes
Plans for more than 1,600 new homes could present a “significant opportunity” to extend a Cambridgeshire city, according to an investment group. The Church Commissioners for England, which manages the Church of England’s investment portfolio, has submitted plans for up to 1,607 new homes in Ely.

The plans are for land at High Flyer Farm on the north of Apollo Chase. They also propose an extension to Ely Country Park, a community allotment/orchard, and an extension to the Chesttisham Business Park. The site covers 85.21 hectares.
The applicant said: “The redevelopment of the site will contribute towards meeting the council’s housing requirements within the planned growth strategy for Ely, delivering a range of homes including affordable housing to meet local needs, alongside significant publicly accessible open space and landscape enhancement.”
They added that the plans would aim to create an “attractive, distinctive and inclusive new neighbourhood of exemplary design quality”.
The housing development is also seen as a “significant opportunity” to extend Ely to the north. The applicant added: “The development at Highflyer Farm North represents the final jigsaw piece in completing the planned northern growth of Ely to create a sustainable and well connected new neighbourhood on the northern edge of Ely.”

Extending Ely Country Park as part of the plans will support the applicant’s aim for around 45 per cent of the site to be accessible open space. The extension of Chettisham Business Park aims to “support local jobs and a balanced mixed-use extension”.
The plans form part of the larger Ely1 allocation in the East Cambridgeshire District Council Local Plan for 2015. This covers around 210 hectares of land and plans for up to 3,000 homes.
The applicant also proposes to build two new primary schools and two local centres to “incorporate retail and community facilities”.
Garry Smithies, 37, of no fixed address, is accused of threatening a cyclist with a Stanley knife in a public place and wounding him with intent to cause him grievous bodily harm in Museum Street on Thursday.
He was not asked to enter a plea.
As the wounding charge can only be tried by a judge and jury, he was sent to York Crown Court. He was remanded in custody.

He will appear before the higher court on August 17 for a plea and trial preparation hearing when he will be expected to enter his plea.
A cyclist was taken to hospital on Thursday following an incident at 8.08pm which led to a police cordon being set up for a time around Museum Gardens. He was in his 50s and from Leeds.
A 37-year-man was arrested later the same evening.
