Halfords promises to tell it like it is

Halfords Autocentres has pledged to make customers' lives easier by championing the use of 'plain English' in its garages, following a poll of 2,000 motorists carried out for Halfords which revealed a high level of confusion around mechanical jargon and the need for simple and un-patronising language when dealing with motorists.

Over nine out of ten car owners (91 per cent) say they are left bewildered by terminology used by mechanics and almost half of motorists (48 per cent) admit paying for a service or repair without understanding what it was for.

Matador sells share in Addis Tyre

Ethiopia based newspaper Addis Fortune reports the sale of a majority share in the country’s sole tyre maker, Addis Tyre SC. According to “reliable sources” that spoke to the English language weekly, Matador AS has sold its 69 per cent share in Addis Tyre to Horizon Plantations Ethiopia Plc. This purchase comes more than two years after a Memorandum of Understanding for the acquisition was signed – Addis Fortune notes that the share transfer was put on hold as the Ethiopian government owns the remaining 31 per cent of shares and therefore the country’s Privatisation and Public Enterprises Supervising Agency had right of first refusal on Addis Tyre.
