“This acquisition is a major step in Fishawack’s plan to build a global strategic creative agency that can work alongside our medical communications business,” explained Oliver Dennis, Chief Executive Officer of the Fishawack Group. “We also acquired US-based Carling Communications in July last year. Carling needed critical mass in Europe and Healthcircle needed a US partner. This is a great match and positions us to deliver integrated creative and medcomms solutions for clients on a truly global scale.”
Mike Taylor, Managing Director of Healthcircle added, “We’ve been on the lookout for a partner to support our growth in the US whilst also providing us access to scientific and strategic talent. Healthcircle and Fishawack have already collaborated extensively and we’ve known and worked with many of the Carling team over our years in the business.”
Gail Flockhart, Group Managing Director at Fishawack said, “All agencies are collections of people with different talents. What makes us different is the investment we make in establishing real chemistry between teams so that collaboration is fun and triggers new ideas. We’re still at a size where we can make this meaningful.”

Suzano, the world’s largest pulp producer, has commenced operations this week at its new fluff pulp production line located in its Limeira unit in Brazil’s São Paulo state. This R$490 million investment increases Suzano’s total fluff pulp production capacity by more than 400%, from 100,000 to 440,000 tonnes per year. The project involved converting the existing pulp line at the Limeira unit into a flexible machine, capable of producing both Eucafluff® and market pulp. Eucafluff® is used in the production of absorbent and personal hygiene products, such as baby and adult diapers, sanitary pads and pet pads. Then market pulp is supplied for making products including toilet paper, printing and writing papers, and paper packaging. Launched in 2015, Eucafluff® is the world’s first fluff pulp made from eucalyptus, delivering unique advantages like enhanced softness and flexibility, which translate into thinner, more discreet and comfortable products.

SES Acknowledges Moody’s Rating Action and Reiterates Deleveraging Commitments17.12.2025 22:36:00 EET | Press release
SES S.A. (“SES” or the “Company”), a leading space solutions company, acknowledges the credit rating action announced by Moody’s Investor Service today, which follows the release of SES’ Q3 2025 results and Intelsat integration update. SES management reiterates that the Company continues to execute on its strategy with a clear plan to strengthen its key credit metrics over time. Consistent with this plan, it remains management’s intention to de-lever and return to credit metrics that are commensurate with investment grade, with a policy objective of reducing adjusted net leverage1 to at least 3.0x or below. Today’s rating action does not change the Company’s ability to operate its business, serve customers, or execute its strategic plan. SES maintains a balanced weighted average debt maturity profile of approximately five years, and the rating action from Moody’s is not expected to have a material impact on the interest payable under the Company’s existing debt facilities. SES also ben

GeologicAI Announces Acquisition of Lumo Analytics to Complete Its Integrated Sensor Suite Across Critical Minerals and Rare Earth Elements17.12.2025 18:53:00 EET | Press release
GeologicAI, the global leader in High-Resolution Decision Engineering for the critical minerals sector, today announced its acquisition of Lumo Analytics, a provider of the most compact and efficient Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) scanner in the market.
