My mum clipped a newspaper advert from the firm looking to recruit people from diverse backgrounds with language and project management skills
I was an experienced Analyst without a finance background and alongside the job requirements
I was initially attracted by the heritage and success of the firm
I was fascinated to see the firm was equally interested in people’s values
skills and qualities as well as your depth of financial knowledge
In 2019 I relocated to Germany to help further build our Operations team
coming shortly after returning from maternity leave
being part of the project to grow such an important entity for our clients and our teams to become a key European hub is something I’m incredibly proud of
seeing the whole One GS culture really come through and to be able to do this straight after Maternity leave was amazing
I now also lead the Women’s Network in Frankfurt and I am so proud of the immense efforts of colleagues that have helped to make the network a success
What started out as a small network in a small office has now grown to one of the leading networks at a key European hub for the firm
but it’s about being competitive as a team and I love that and it’s what keeps me here
that’s as a whole company not just as a single team
Teamwork and having colleagues around the world and locally that I can rely on for support and teamwork is so important

Rolls-Royce has shipped the 10,000th blisk from its Oberursel factory
reaching another milestone in the factory’s long and successful history
Blisks (blade integrated disks) are highly complex components comprising both rotor disk and blades in one integral part
The factory’s expertise and cutting-edge manufacturing technology make Oberursel the Centre of Excellence for the production of these high-tech components for the whole Rolls-Royce group
Blisks are a key technology in today’s highly fuel-efficient engines
The first three stages of the high-pressure compressor of the Trent XWB
the world’s most efficient large aero engine flying today
The use of these aerodynamically advanced components reduces the weight of the high-pressure compressor by around 15%
which makes a significant contribution to the reduction of the Airbus A350 XWB’s fuel consumption and thus its CO2 emissions as well by around 25% compared to the previous generation
Executive Director of Rolls-Royce Deutschland and Director of Operations in Oberursel
said: “We are proud to produce these highly complex components for the whole Rolls-Royce Group
We demonstrated a real pioneering spirit to establish blisk production in Oberursel
and our strengths in the manufacture of these highly complex rotating key components are now clear
No other company in the world can manufacture blisks of this outstanding quality as cost-effectively and quickly
Blisk production in Oberursel started in 1997
Today the factory manufactures blisks for the TP400

German police officers have disrupted what they believe to be an attack on an Eschborn-to-Frankfurt professional cycling race scheduled for this Friday, according to a report from the AP
including a pipe bomb and multiple weapons,` in a raid on the home of a suspected Islamic extremist couple in the town of Oberursel
The couple has been under investigation since April
and officials came to believe that the couple may target the race that attracts thousands of fans on the May Day public holiday

a hundred years from now someone will discover the hundred volumes of the Second Encyclopedia of Tlön,” wrote Jorge Luis Borges (1899-1986) in the epilogue to his 1941 story Tlön
Borges’ words led the German artists Peter Malutzki and Ines von Ketelhodt to work from 1997 to 2006 (re)constructing the Second Encyclopedia of Tlön in a fifty volume
Even the bindings vary in material and printing
while each spine is labeled with the first four letters of its keyword from A to Z
“Because our system of order was the alphabet
we of course wanted all letters to be represented in the end
We did realize that we could only do justice to our presumptuous ambition of packing the whole world into fifty volumes in details and fragments; but we hoped the found shards would give a notion of the whole structure.”
to which we owed the encyclopedia’s title
played an important role as a source of inspiration
but we could present the idealistic world of Tlön only mirrored on our own world
Already in the first volumes quotes from Borges’ had sporadically flowed in
But only after some years did we realize that … a substantial part of the Tlön-text
and we then decided to gradually incorporate the complete text in the encyclopedia; like a red thread
that winds its way through the project in intricate paths.”
For more information, see their website: http://www.tloen-enzyklopaedie.de/e_texts/index_texts.htm
“Although Ines was member of the group Unica T for many years as Peter was of the FlugBlatt-Presse these groups or presses have nothing to do with the publication of the encyclopedia
At the beginning we decided to publish the project under the name Zweite Enzyklopädie von Tlön
nothing else you’ll find in any colophon of any volume.”
“Concerning the place of publishing there are three: Peter worked from 1997 til 2003 in Lahnstein
later we both moved to Flörsheim so the last volumes until 2006 were produced in Flörsheim
Oberursel and Flörsheim are the places where we produced the encyclopedia.”
the artists have prepared a separate exhibition catalogue offering information on the history
Each volume is described in detail with its theme
if you can’t purchase the entire set
the exhibition catalogue can be purchased separately
and Patty Gaspari-Bridges who helped make this acquisition possible
project director for equipment management at Rolls-Royce Germany
was facing a challenge: He needed to increase the available capacity of the prime discipline at the Oberursel facility
namely micrometer-precise grinding of curvic couplings
employs roughly 10,000 employees at 11 locations in Germany
the company is the largest producer of motors for large-scale airplanes
Aviation is an enormous growth market for Rolls-Royce
with order books full for the coming years
Rolls-Royce thus is under pressure to boost productivity
such as through investments in new technology
Rolls-Royce identified five primary criteria for any new grinding machine:
the team under Fedler gathered the specifications for the new grinding machine
Rolls-Royce evaluated several suppliers and conducted technical/technological discussions
The contract was ultimately awarded to Blohm Jung in Hamburg and its Blohm Profimat MC 610 VS
“The Profimat is working at tolerance range a grade above that of the competition
Our experience with an existing Blohm Profimat MC also plays a very important role
It has been a reliable and precise worker for over 10 years,” Fedler said of the decision
Another year world pass until the Blohm Profimat MC was ready for commissioning
“It was a complex project with difficult requirements and the need to make many changes during the project-management phase
The project management team at Blohm always responded quickly and presented solutions
even if they were demanding,” said Christopher Boll
director of equipment management at Rolls-Royce
The new Blohm Profimat MC 610 VS went online shortly before the end of 2017
and it delivered positive results from the start
the investment in the Blohm Profimat MC 610 VS has been more than worthwhile
“We have been able to reduce the auxiliary times by up to 50 percent,” said Michael Lange
workpieces from other machines can now be handled by the new grinding machine from Blohm
The new Profimat MC has not only replaced the previous machine
but further expanded the available capacity
It allows the operator to begin preparing a new component outside the machine while a different workpiece is still being machined inside
The measuring probe offers an enormous boost to process safety
as it measures based on pre-defined quality parameter while grinding is still ongoing
The data is sent online to the Rolls Royce quality assurance program
The Profimat MC is a powerful grinding centre
This extremely compact traveling-column machine offers everything modern production solutions require
Different spindle variants enable diverse applications
The five-axis CNC profile grinding machines in the series can be equipped with a horizontal spindle for drive capacities up to 60 kW
as well as a stationary or an NC-swiveling vertical spindle with grinding spindle speeds of up to 60,000 revolutions per minute
The traveling-column machine is suitable for conventional grinding tasks and CD
The performance of the vertical spindle was adjusted to the customer’s needs
the Profimat MC was equipped with a 0-point tensioning system with four mold cavities
The machine’s rotary table has a diameter of 800 mm
The stainless steel working space was extended laterally for the grinding wheel changing tool
making it easier to replace the cup wheel from the working space of the machine
Another new feature: The set-up station is also equipped with a rotary table outside the machine that is identical to the rotary table inside the machine
The workpiece is clamped on the rotary table and fixed directly on the 0-point tensioning system using the base plate
The operator can then rotate the rotary table and measure the workpiece to the desired tolerance in terms of the circular and axial run-out
The clamped workpiece is then inserted into the machine with the base plate and the grinding process can be started
the shape of the coolant nozzles was customized and can also move into a vertical position (C axis)
This ensures the workpieces are optimally cooled
“One particular challenge posed on Blohm Jung was the vertical dressing unit
That was no easy task for their designers,” Fedler said
The original machine is designed to handle a grinding wheel diameter of 400 mm
needed a grinding wheel diameter of up to 560 mm
The cup wheel must be able to move into dressing
Space for all these steps within the machinery space is extremely tight
“Our designers have really delivered a great deal of performance here,” said Ulrich Haar
The user interface for the Blohm software is based on Siemens 840 D solution line
which has been specifically adapted to the needs of curvic grinding
is self explanatory and the operator can work intuitively
“The software is modular and clear,” said Christoph Weber
“That software is also our insurance: if the operator makes a false measurement or input
the software immediately recognizes this and gives an error message.”
He is also enthusiastic about the hand reader
calling up the corresponding NC data automatically in the software so that the proper grinding parameters can be applied
With the first set of performance data already gathered from the new machine
The grinding wheel currently requires an excessive amount of dressing
a problem that will likely be solved by installing a grinding wheel with different specifications
the set-up station will also be simplified: “We’ve enjoyed the dedicated support from the Blohm team and appreciate their innovative and respectful cooperation,” Fedler said

Company NewsUS Offers $10 Million for Information on Russia War Blog RybarBy Bloomberg NewsPublished: October 19, 2024 at 4:32AM EDT
(Bloomberg) -- The US government is offering a reward of as much as $10 million for information “leading to the identification or location” of the Russian military media outlet Rybar and its employees, according to a statement posted on the Rewards for Justice mission.
Rybar, which has over 1.3 million subscribers on its Telegram channel focused mainly on the Kremlin’s invasion in Ukraine, aims to “bolster Russia’s military capabilities and advance pro-Russian and anti-Western narratives,” according to the statement.
The outlet, which was allegedly backed early on by now-deceased Kremlin ally-turned-rebel Yevgeny Prigozhin, also manages propaganda social media channels #HOLDTHELINE and #STANDWTHTEXAS “to promote Russian government political interests” in the US, according to the US government’s tip-generating website.
Rybar now receives funding from Rostec, Russia’s state defense industrial corporation, which has been sanctioned by the US since 2022.
Additionally, according to the site, Rybar established the “TEXASvsUSA” channel on X, formerly Twitter, which seeks to “promote social division, stoke partisan and racial discord, and encourage hate and violence” in the US ahead of next month’s presidential election.
The US government in September said Moscow has spent millions of dollars to influence the coming elections and boost the Kremlin’s influence by establishing several dozen web domains used to “covertly spread Russian government propaganda.”
As part of the crackdown, the Treasury Department announced new sanctions on Russian state-funded broadcaster RT and its management, including editor-in-chief Margarita Simonyan.
In a video response to the announcement of the reward for information, Rybar director Mikhail Zvinchuk denied his operation is being used to influence the US election, and gave his registration address in Moscow. Rybar said it expects the US government to make the pledged payment in exchange for the address, via a direct funds transfer, the donation button on Rybar’s website, or in cryptocurrency.

this month sees Mazda Motors UK Ltd celebrate its 20th Anniversary
The company was conceived in the late 1990s as Mazda Motor Corporation took the decision to connect the European region more closely with the core business in Japan
At the time there were just two national sales companies in Europe
with all the other markets including the UK
The story of Mazda in Europe started with the first cars being imported in 1967 followed by in 1968 Mazda establishing Mazda Logistics Europe (MLE) in Willebroek
Belgium as a central hub for the distribution of cars and parts
In 1972 Mazda Motor Deutschland was started to directly control operations in the key German market
it was in the late 1980s that Mazda Corporation really ramped up investment in Europe with the founding of Mazda Motor Europe (MME) in 1989 and the creation of a European headquarters in Leverkusen
This was followed in 1990 with the opening of Mazda Research Europe (MRE) in Oberursel
which provided Mazda with a R&D and design centre for the crucial European market
With this kind of investment in the European market it was hardly surprising that Mazda Corporation and MME were looking to connect more closely with key European markets via wholly owned national sales companies rather than independent distributors
and as the second biggest sales market in Europe
Mazda’s story in the UK started on a small scale in 1967 with Industria (London) Ltd officially launching the Mazda marque on the 30th September 1969 at the British Motorshow, then in 1972 Industria (London) Ltd was renamed Mazda Car Imports (GB) Ltd
In the early days the relatively limited recognition of the Mazda brand in the UK and import restrictions on Japanese made cars meant sales were small
but from a few hundred cars a year in the late 1960s
by the end of 1973 sales were at 7,000 per year
Mazda Car Imports (GB) became Mazda Cars UK Ltd in 1975 and then in 1978 Tunbridge Wells based MCL Group Ltd was formed and it maintained distribution rights for Mazda in the UK until 2001
The major project to create Mazda UK started in 2001 and on the 1st August 2001 Mazda Motors UK (MMUK) was founded
As part of the process 49 staff from MCL Group transferred to the new entity
which from October 2001 was based in Dartford
The location was chosen as it was roughly equidistant between Tunbridge Wells based MCL Group and Ford Motor Company in Essex
where thanks to the early 2000s Ford share-holding in Mazda Corporation
five directors were sent on assignment from Ford UK to the new Mazda Motors UK Ltd
They were James Muir – Managing Director
Steve Robertson – Financial Director
Jeremy Thomson – Fleet Director and Phil Waring – Sales Director
Today six members of the founding MMUK staff of 54 remain at Mazda UK
Commenting on the 20th Anniversary of Mazda UK
he said: “over the last 20 years MMUK has achieved great things by being an organisation that’s nimble and filled by people emboldened with entrepreneurial spirit who work within a culture of hard work
team spirit and passion for the Mazda brand.”
said: “having come from a 12 year career with Ford
the early days at Mazda were very different and over the next few years we grew the team
and with the help of a rejuvenated product line-up
built a strong dealer network and revitalised the relationship with media”
“perhaps one of the most refreshing experiences at this time was the nimble and super-efficient approach to decision making that we achieved; decisions agreed in the morning and then implemented that day with a speed and focus of a true start-up
we quickly became MME’s second largest national sales company and one of the Top 10 markets globally for Mazda”
In 2001 the Mazda range featured the Mazda 323
plus the B-Series pick-up and E-Series van
During the 2001 transition year Mazda sold just 14,298 cars in the UK
but with the launch of the first-generation Mazda6 in 2002
Mazda Motors UK sold 27,820 cars in its first full year as a company – including 6,315 of the new Mazda6
With the early days of Mazda UK coinciding with a global revitalisation of the Mazda product line-up
the sales growth continued – by 2004 with the new Mazda3 and Mazda2 on sale
plus the rotary powered RX-8 joining the range as a halo sports car – annual sales had reached 47,739
sales peaked at 50,947 and the launch of the Mazda CX-7 established Mazda in the developing SUV market
something cemented by the huge success of the subsequent CX-5
Having served as both Marketing Director and Sales Director
Jeremy Thomson took the Managing Director role in 2008
which coincided with Ford selling the majority of its stake in Mazda Corporation
Mazda was the fastest growing brand in the UK for five consecutive years
and in 2008 with the reduction of Ford’s input
the MMUK structure changed quickly with Ford employees either returning or resigning to stay with Mazda
We also transitioned from Ford Credit to Santander as our wholesale finance provider
Since then we’ve seen the business develop and evolve alongside the launch of key global elements like Skyactiv Technology
Kodo Design and ever more premium oriented products
With the increase in SUV sales at the start of the 2010s
cars like the Mazda CX-5 have been crucial in our success story
as has our latest generation of new products like the Mazda3 and Mazda CX-30.”
One of the 49 staff who transferred from MCL Group to the new Mazda Motors UK Ltd in 2001 and one of the six who still work for MMUK today
said: “I had already been at MCL Group for six years in a variety of admin roles
but the switch to MMUK gave me the opportunity to take my first management role and seeing real ambition and investment going into the Mazda brand in the UK was brilliant
you couldn’t help but get excited and give it 100 per cent and I’m still very proud to have been part of the opening chapter of the MMUK story”
said: “having started my career fresh out of college with Mazda in 1987 as a vehicle technician at Tunbridge Wells Mazda – the retail dealership owned by MCL Group
I was delighted to get the opportunity to be part of an exciting new future for Mazda in the UK with the new MMUK company
I can remember the early days of Mazda UK were great because of the drive for results
passion and can do attitude across the company – something that remains at MMUK today
which is what makes it such a great place to work”
Moving into a new headquarters building in 2015
Mazda UK has in recent years faced the challenges of Brexit and Covid
plus the ever present task of working with exchange rate fluctuations
“But throughout all of this I have been convinced by the strength of the Mazda brand
our great dealers and the team at Mazda UK”
the focus will be on creating ‘One Mazda Europe’ to create an even more integrated and efficient organisation
new technologies and use our precious resources more effectively”
Today Mazda UK has 135 employees and a network of 122 dealers
while the 20th Anniversary of the business has also seen the launch of Mazda’s first battery electric production car – the MX-30 in the UK
said: “UK car owners are amongst the most knowledgeable in the world
which makes the success of Mazda UK even more special
The whole range has fans and this is down to the many ways that the team in the UK make Mazda a special brand
to the fantastic Mazda UK heritage collection that has been built up
everything the team does presents Mazda as the unique challenger brand that we are
I would like to thank the team at Mazda UK and their dealers for their great achievements over the last 20 years and I am confident that the UK will recover from the pandemic stronger than before
and continue to be a leading market for Mazda in Europe.”
Since 2002 MMUK has sold a total of 778,924 passenger cars in the UK
but looking firmly towards an exciting future for Mazda in the UK
said “this is a great time to thank all our customers
dealer partners and staff for the success of MMUK over the last two decades
and for Mazda UK I’m sure the next 20 years will be even more exciting than the last.”
