Family announce new Glasgow gyro spot to open at site of popular Greek Taverna
Yianni's is the latest venture from the team who ran the Bath Street restaurant Yiamas for 15 years, before announcing its closure earlier this year.
Named after founder Yiannis Bantouvakis, the new concept is being launched by his daughter Stascia and wife Linda, who have run Yiamas since Yiannis' passing in 2016.
Located at the same Bath Street site, Yianni's will open later this summer following a full refurbishment.
The space will be transformed into a fast, modern gyro shop offering sit-in and takeaway.

Co-owner Stascia Bantouvakis said: 'We've taken everything people loved about Yiamas and reimagined it for a new chapter.
'Yianni's is a tribute to my dad and a fresh start for us. It's still Greek food made with love - just with a new look and feel.
'We're so excited to welcome everyone back, and to introduce Yianni's to the city.'

Asda enhances family leave policy, supporting 140,000 employees
UK-based grocery retailer Asda has improved its family leave policies, providing its 140,000 employees with increased support during significant life events. The updated policy exceeds standard statutory leave and pay, aiming to assist employees through new parenthood, caregiving and bereavement. For hourly employees, maternity and adoption leave pay has been increased from 12 weeks to 26 weeks. Paternity leave has been doubled from two weeks to four weeks at full contractual pay, with the extension also applying to secondary kinship carers. A brand-new policy for primary kinship carers has been established, offering 26 weeks of company leave and pay. For those experiencing pregnancy loss before 24 weeks, Asda has enhanced its existing policy to provide two weeks of company-paid leave. Asda general counsel and interim chief people officer Helen Selby stated: "We're proud to be introducing new and enhanced family-friendly policies, which underline our commitment to fostering an inclusive and colleague-focused workplace. 'We want our colleagues to feel supported during some of the most important – and occasionally most challenging – moments in their lives. These changes further build on the progress we've made over the last year in supporting the beating heart of our business - our fantastic colleagues." These updates align with Asda's announcement to invest £80m ($109.1m) earlier this year to raise the hourly rates for store-based employees. In November 2024, Asda launched a neonatal care leave policy, granting additional leave and pay to employees with newborns requiring neonatal care treatment. Eligible employees can take up to a maximum of 12 weeks of paid leave in addition to their entitlement to maternity, paternity or adoption leave. Retail trade union Usdaw national officer Jayne Allport stated: 'Following ongoing discussions between Asda and Usdaw, we are pleased that the company has committed to providing valuable, additional support for our members when they need it most. We welcome that the company values the parents and carers working for them and understands their needs in balancing life and work.' In June 2025, Asda revealed plans for a £10m ($13.5m) refurbishment programme across its more than 180 in-store cafés to enhance customer experience.

BII Commits $803 million Worth Impact Investments in Asia
The amount is significantly bigger than that of 2023 when BII invested GBP 245 million in Asian companies and a further GBP 225 million in businesses with operations spanning Asia and Africa. You're reading Entrepreneur India, an international franchise of Entrepreneur Media. British International Investment, the UK's development finance institution and impact investor, has announced its commitment of GBP 626 million (USD 803 million) to Asian businesses in 2024 to support inclusive economic growth and combat the climate emergency. The amount is significantly bigger than that of 2023 when BII invested GBP 245 million in Asian companies and a further GBP 225 million in businesses with operations spanning Asia and Africa. BII has said that the increase in investment was despite the difficult investment environment caused by macroeconomic headwinds. BII's total net assets currently increased to GBP 9.9 billion up from GBP 8.5 billion in 2023, while post-tax profits improved to GBP 213.3m compared with a GBP 44 million loss in 2023. Globally BII invested GBP 1.75 billion in 2024. The figures are contained in BII's Annual Review, which was published today. In total, BII invested USD 903 million in climate finance in 2024, 41 per cent of its overall commitments for the year. This compares with just USD 104 million in 2020. The company's climate finance assets now make up over 26 per cent of its entire portfolio, up from just over 15 per cent in 2020. Over the last three years, BII has invested over USD 2 billion in climate finance. According to BII, based on all direct renewable energy investments in BII's 2023 portfolio, 1.5 million tons of CO2e emissions were avoided on an attributed basis, a 54 per cent year-on-year increase. This was driven by a growing renewable asset base in the portfolio and increases in the amount of renewable power produced. Srini Nagarajan, Managing Director and Head of Asia at BII, said, "Our 2024 investment figures demonstrate our steadfast commitment to our Asian markets as we focus on delivering inclusive economic growth and meeting the challenge of the climate emergency. BII will continue to play a pivotal role in mobilising private capital, particularly for climate finance across South and South-East Asia." BII also made GBP 499 million of gender finance commitments in 2024 and GBP 880 million of commitments to the poorer and most fragile countries across the regions where it invests.
