Following good results for the first half of their fiscal year, Bloomsbury will restore the salary cuts imposed in the first few months of the pandemic: Staff will receive about £700,000 to make up for the earlier reductions in pay.

Travel retailer Hudson reported sales for the three months ended September 30, of $135.4 million, down 74 percent from last year. As of October 31, the company had reopened more than 300 of the 700 stores it closed during the height of the pandemic. No update on the plan to go private again, expected to close in the fourth quarter.
