GAIL’s Bakery Joins Verkada at The Security Event to Discuss Modern Security and Operational Excellence
SAN MATEO, Calif., April 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — GAIL’s Bakery, renowned for bringing chef-quality sourdough bread to neighbourhoods across the UK, has partnered with Verkada, a leader in cloud-based physical security, to streamline its security and operational processes across its more than 170 locations. Led by Brett Parker, Property Director at GAIL’s Bakery, the bakery business has successfully deployed Verkada video security cameras, access control, and air quality sensors to enable remote management of its retail storefronts and bakeries, which not only protect critical assets and reduces security investigation times, but also proactively improves employee safety and boosts operational efficiency and quality control.
“Verkada has been a game-changer for us,” Brett Parker said. “The ability to remotely monitor our bakeries, track food preparation, and investigate incidents has delivered tangible benefits.”
Parker will share more about how, with Verkada, his team now delivers outsized results for GAIL’s Bakery across security and operations at The Security Event on April 9 at 14:05.
Key results
Achieved a 25% reduction in investigation time using AI-Powered Search, significantly speeding up incident resolution.Mitigated costly insurance claims by quickly disproving staged accidents, saving the company from potential payouts.Improved team oversight, allowing remote monitoring of 75% of floor space, reducing travel and onsite presence for managers.
Enhanced security and operations
Since opening its first bakery in Hampstead in 2005, GAIL’s Bakery has expanded to more than 170 bakeries across the UK, offering craft-quality products and memorable customer experiences. As the company grew, managing security and operations across multiple sites became increasingly complex, with each location operating its own security system. This lack of consistency made oversight of its fast-growing footprint difficult and inefficient.
To address these challenges, GAIL’s Bakery partnered with Tellivue, trusted specialists in CCTV and access control installations. Tellivue introduced Brett Parker, Head of Property at GAIL’s, to Verkada’s cloud-based platform. “When I saw Verkada’s capabilities – which are all accessible from my phone – I knew it was the solution we needed to streamline our operations and enhance security across all our stores,” Parker explained.
Now, Verkada’s unified platform delivers the scalability and centralised control that GAIL’s Bakery needs. The cloud-based solutions allow Brett’s team to remotely monitor stores from any device, reducing the need for on-site presence and travel. It also eliminates the inefficiencies of having varied security systems in each location. “What impressed me most was the ability to access everything from my phone or desktop,” said Parker. “We could finally manage all our locations in one place, which was a game changer.”
As GAIL’s Bakery continues to expand, Verkada has also introduced new features, such as AI-Powered Search, which further streamlines operations. “Instead of scrolling through hours of footage, we can search based on simple descriptions like the colour of a shirt or object. It has made investigations much faster,” Parker added, noting that the AI-Powered Search has reduced investigation time by 25%.
Verkada is integral to GAIL’s day-to-day operations, helping to:
Reduce theft – Motion grids and AI-powered analytics have helped GAIL’s Bakery identify theft incidents quickly and provide clear evidence to local authorities.Respond to issues more efficiently – Facilities managers can oversee multiple locations remotely, cutting down on travel time and improving response times to operational issues.Ensure food safety and quality control – With cameras monitoring food prep stations, GAIL’s can ensure compliance with food safety standards, monitor allergen handling and maintain quality control.Optimize store layouts – With visual intelligence from cameras – such as heat maps and trajectory analysis, among others – the GAIL’s team has found innovative uses of Verkada’s technology to optimize layouts and customer flows in its retail storefronts.Disproving fraudulent claims – “One major benefit of Verkada’s system is its impact on how we process insurance claims,” Parker said. “We’ve been able to disprove fraudulent claims by providing clear footage of the incidents, saving us significant amounts in legal fees and settlements.”
Ardon Anderson, Vice President of EMEA at Verkada, commented: “We’re excited to support GAIL’s Bakery with a security solution that not only protects their people and assets but also makes day-to-day operations smoother. This partnership shows how a unified, cloud-based platform can make a difference, especially for businesses with multiple locations that need a simple, scalable way to stay safe and secure.”
With Verkada’s technology now deployed across more than 170 sites, GAIL’s Bakery plans to continue expanding the system as it grows. “The time and money we’ve saved with Verkada has made it an investment we wish we had made sooner,” Parker concluded.
To learn more about how GAIL’s Bakery is enhancing security and operations with Verkada, visit Verkada at The Security Event (Booth #5/K70). At the event, be sure to attend our live Q&A session with Brett Parker on April 9 at 14:05, where we will explore this case study in depth.

2CRSi SA: Annual Revenue of €416.2 Million¹, Up 88% for Fiscal Year 2025/26
Published
20 minutes agoon
July 23, 2026By
STRASBOURG, France, July 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — 2CRSi (ISIN: FR0013341781), a designer and manufacturer of high-performance, energy-efficient servers, today reports its revenue for fiscal year 2025/26. Over the period, the Group generated revenue of €416.2 million[1], an increase of more than 88% compared with fiscal year 2024/25 (€220.7 million).
Another Record-Breaking Year
This performance reflects the Group’s strong commercial momentum as well as the success of the strategic transformation launched nearly two years ago to position 2CRSi in the Artificial Intelligence infrastructure market.
Initially set at €300 million at the beginning of the fiscal year[2], then raised to more than €400 million in March 2026[3], the revenue target has now been exceeded, demonstrating the Group’s ability to anticipate market developments and successfully execute its commercial growth strategy in the rapidly expanding global Artificial Intelligence market. As a reminder, the €610 million framework agreement referred to in our detailed response[4] of July 16, 2026 generated no revenue during fiscal year 2025/26: the year’s growth was entirely driven by other orders that were delivered and invoiced.
Increasing Diversification of the Customer Portfolio
The portfolio of the Group’s main customers invoiced during the fiscal year consists predominantly of new customers signed during the period, demonstrating the Group’s ability to win new strategic accounts and rapidly convert its commercial pipeline into revenue.
2CRSi’s largest customer accounted for less than 20% of consolidated revenue, while the Group’s top five customers represented approximately 70%, compared with more than 90% in fiscal year 2024/25.
While equipment sales represented approximately 94% of total revenue, service revenue increased significantly in value to reach €24.7 million (compared with €8.3 million in 2024/25, representing growth of nearly 200%). As services generate higher margins, they will constitute a key development driver over the coming fiscal years. In particular, 2CRSi Cloud Solutions recorded its first significant billings, notably in connection with the ÆTHER project.
Positive Cash Flow and Strengthened Financial Position
At the end of the fiscal year, the Group’s cash position stood at €14.4 million1 (compared with -€0.2 million one year earlier), its highest year-end cash balance since its IPO in 2018. This strengthened financial position provides 2CRSi with the resources to support its continued growth trajectory.
Group Year-End Cash Position by Fiscal Year (in € thousands)
2026/27 Ambition: Targeting €1 Billion in Revenue
During the RAISE Summit, the global Artificial Intelligence summit held in Paris on July 8–9, 2026, bringing together more than 9,000 leading industry participants, the announcement[5] of the ÆTHER consortium members and the advanced negotiations for the upcoming acquisition by ÆTHER Infrastructures of two industrial sites in the Strasbourg region significantly boosted customer demand for the megawatts of computing capacity that will be deployed there. Like the other consortium members, 2CRSi expects to benefit from this momentum and anticipates an increase in order intake, with part of these orders expected to be delivered during the current fiscal year.
In light of this commercial momentum, 2CRSi confirms its ambition to achieve €1 billion in revenue during fiscal year 2026/27.
Beyond sustaining its growth trajectory, improving margins will also remain a key priority for the Group through increasing the contribution of services and higher value-added solutions to its overall business.
Next event: Publication of Fiscal Year 2025/26 Annual Results: October 29, 2026

Nearly Half of Senior Leaders Feel Only Partly Prepared to Lead AI Transformation, as Ambition Outpaces Readiness
Published
20 minutes agoon
July 23, 2026By
Almost half of senior leaders (46%) say they are prepared only to a small extent to lead organisation-wide transformation driven by AI, while 2% report being not prepared at all. Keeping pace with rapidly evolving AI technology is cited as the most significant challenge (40%) faced by senior leaders, followed by regulatory and compliance uncertainty (37%) and insufficient budget or resources for AI adoption (36%).Only about a third of senior leaders (34%) have attended formal training or upskilling related to leadership in the AI era within the past two years. Over half (53%) are planning to do so in the coming months and years, with 13% reporting no plans to undertake such training.The most common shift in leadership approach is an increased focus on people management during AI-driven change, cited by 37% of leaders, particularly in supporting morale and employee well-being. This is followed by greater time spent on upskilling themselves and their teams (31%), and on strategic decision-making (30%).
SINGAPORE, July 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Artificial Intelligence (AI) is reshaping how organisations operate and compete. However, the leaders responsible for steering this transformation report a gap between what is expected of them and their preparedness to deliver. Almost half of senior leaders (46%) say they are prepared only to a small extent to lead organisation-wide transformation driven by AI, while a further 2% report being not prepared at all. In comparison, 37% are prepared to a moderate extent, and only 15% consider themselves prepared to a large extent.
Senior leaders identify several factors contributing to this readiness gap. Keeping pace with rapidly evolving AI technology is cited as the top challenge (40%), followed by regulatory and compliance uncertainty (37%). Resource constraints are also a key pressure point, with 36% pointing to insufficient budget or resources for AI adoption. In addition, 34% highlight challenges related to data quality and governance, while another 34% cite the need to upskill or reskill employees to work effectively alongside AI.
These are some of the key findings from NTUC LearningHub’s Special Report on Leadership in an AI-Driven World. The report surveyed 131 senior leaders from organisations of different sizes and across industries, including Infocomm Technology, Finance, Advanced Manufacturing, Healthcare and others. All respondents reported some level of experience with AI and are involved, to varying degrees, in AI adoption decisions within their organisation.
This readiness gap extends into decision-making. Senior leaders generally express moderate levels of confidence in making high-stakes AI-related decisions. Over two in five (43%) report being quite confident, while 13% say they are very confident. However, 40% indicate they are not very confident and 4% not confident at all.
Despite that, only about a third of senior leaders (34%) have attended formal training or upskilling on leading in an AI-driven workplace within the past two years. Among those who have not yet done so, many indicate plans to pursue training, including 22% within the next six months, 20% within the next year, and 11% within the next two years. Only 13% report having no plans to undertake such training. Among the training areas leaders prioritise, AI literacy and strategic understanding (57%) emerge as the key priority, followed by data-driven decision-making (46%), and ethical AI governance and responsible deployment (40%).
Alongside this, the most common shift in leadership approach is an increased focus on people management during AI-driven change, cited by 37% of leaders, particularly in supporting morale and employee well-being. This is followed by greater time spent on upskilling themselves and their teams (31%) and on strategic decision-making (30%). Ethical and governance considerations also feature strongly at 27%, alongside a similar share who report dedicating more effort to change management (27%), including communicating how AI may affect roles and ways of working.
These shifts reflect a broader recognition among leaders that navigating AI transformation requires more than technical fluency alone. Two in five (40%) senior leaders regard human-centric skills as very important in leading an organisation in the AI era, while nearly half (48%) consider them to be quite important. Among the capabilities leaders consider most critical, creative thinking and critical thinking each emerge at 47%, closely followed by sense-making (46%), problem-solving (44%) and effective communication (43%).
Commenting on the report’s findings, Mr Sean Lim, Chief Human Resource Officer, NTUC LearningHub, says, “The gap between expectation and readiness reflects a fundamental shift in what is required of leadership in today’s AI era. Leaders were once expected to hold all the answers and direct from the top. However, they must now act as strategic navigators, making sense of complexity and providing guidance through this period of rapid change and uncertainty. This means a shift towards coaching and empowering people, while also aligning competing priorities across technology, business and operational needs. It is a demanding shift, but it is encouraging to know that many senior leaders are already planning to further their own development to lead their teams through this period of AI transformation.”

SAN DIEGO, July 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The LEGO Group is unveiling the LEGO® SMART Play™ Gateway at San Diego Comic-Con 2026 — a booth experience powered by LEGO SMART Play technology that puts attendees right at the center of their fandoms and brings LEGO sets to life with a newfound layer of interactivity.

The LEGO Group will also further debut several new LEGO sets spanning numerous fandoms at San Diego Comic-Con 2026 — continuing to offer a LEGO set for every age and interest!
Enter a New Dimension of Play at the LEGO SMART Play Gateway
Launched this year, LEGO SMART Play provides open-ended physical play through responsive technology that reacts in real time. The LEGO SMART Play platform is powered by the SMART Brick, a 2×4 LEGO brick compatible with the LEGO System in Play that holds more than 20 patented world-first technologies. The SMART Brick can read SMART Tags and SMART Minifigures, synthesize light and sounds and sense precise motion, allowing kids to build, interact and create their own stories as their creations play back.
Attendees at San Diego Comic-Con 2026 are invited to step through the doors of the LEGO SMART Play Gateway, a retro-futuristic interworld departure terminal. Blending mid-century modern design with the technological optimism of LEGO SMART Play, the space transports fans from the show floor through SMART Play™-powered portals and into one of two fully immersive destinations:
Destination: LEGO Pokémon™ Lab

We are thrilled to bring these themes to life at the LEGO SMART Play Gateway during San Diego Comic-Con,” said Beth McKenna, Head of U.S. Marketing at the LEGO Group. “LEGO SMART Play represents the most significant advancement in LEGO® play since the Minifigure.

For the past two decades, children of all ages have been enchanted by DreamWorks Animation’s delightful, irreverent adventures of a misunderstood ogre and his ragtag group of roguish fairytale folk. Beginning with Shrek, the 2001 Academy Award® winner for Best Animated Feature, Shrek (Mike Myers), Fiona (Cameron Diaz), Donkey (Oscar® nominee Eddie Murphy), Puss in Boots (Oscar® nominee Antonio Banderas) and their signature friends, family and tormentors have grown into an indelible part of pop culture, reminding audiences around the globe that beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
The four Shrek franchise films have earned more than $2.9 billion worldwide, spawning a global live-touring show, an award-winning Broadway musical that earned eight Tony nominations and 12 Drama Desk nominations, plus an immersive, top-tourist destination in London and popular events and attractions across Universal Studios theme parks worldwide.
From an astonishing consumer products campaign to imaginative digital extensions and a global animation exhibition tour, the iconic age of Shrek now enters a thrilling new era in 2027, as DreamWorks Animation reimagines this wonderous tale for a new generation with Shrek 5. Stars Mike Myers, Cameron Diaz and Eddie Murphy return, now joined by Emmy winning superstar Zendaya (Dune franchise, Euphoria) as Shrek and Fiona’s daughter.
