Jobs lost and weddings cancelled as Scottish venue in shock closure

The closure of the Gables Hotel in Gretna, famed as a town to which people elope from England, has left 16 people without jobs. Local outlet DnG24 reported that liquidators will be appointed on July 16, and that all trading and reservations have been cancelled, even for fully pre-paid weddings. The hotel's website is down, and no one answered the phones when The National called. On Facebook, people with wedding reservations were questioning what had happened at their chosen venue.

A second post, from Dave Moore, said: 'Does anyone know what's going on with the Gables hotel? We have our wedding there in a few weeks.' Moore later told DnG24: 'I tried to call them a number of times but there was no answer, so I joined a Gretna Facebook group and put a post on there asking if anyone had any information. 'I started receiving private messages from others who had been booked in at The Gables, asking if I had managed to find out what was going on. I believe there are quite a number of people who were booked in for a wedding and had paid in full like ourselves. 'By Friday we had still been unable to contact anyone from the Gables. I called the Wedding Bureau in Gretna (who we have our ceremony booked through) and they informed me that the Gables had ceased trading and that the liquidators would be contacting people this week.'

At the time, the agents said: 'This well-established wedding, corporate, and leisure venue presents an excellent opportunity for investors looking to acquire a thriving business in one of the UK's most popular wedding destinations.' The hotel was reportedly built in 1917 and features 31 en-suite letting bedrooms, including five four-poster bridal rooms. It has parking for 50 vehicles and a series of dining and event spaces for parties ranging from 16 to 80. The National was unable to contact The Gables Hotel for comment.

Ex-2FM star Jennifer Zamparelli has shared a gushing message to her husband Lau on their 11-year wedding anniversary. The Dancing with the Stars host shared photos of the pair throughout the years, including a throwback snap from their wedding day. The couple tied the knot in 2014 in an intimate ceremony at Castle Leslie, surrounded by 70 guests. Sharing the photos, Jennifer wrote: "Happy Anniversary @zampers1 ! "11 years married!! 2 kids and a dog later. We made it?? Nearly there? Anytime time?? "19 years together though … Here's to many more years of laughter, fighting over making the bed and spending time with the best." Concluding her post, she wrote: "(Don't even think of doing a pity post for me and if so I need to vet every pic )." The comments were flooded with sweet messages, with one person writing: "Happy Anniversary you guys." "So much joy. Congratulations," another gushed. A third said: "Happy anniversary you are gorgeous." "Ah lovely, happy anniversary to you both, hope you do something really nice," another wrote. The anniversary comes as Jennifer is set to make her return to radio this month, as she will be filling in for Dave Moore on Today FM.

He's off on his holidays (I know the cheek) and myself and @bprdowling will take a week each and hopefully take care of Dave's lovely listeners while he has a much deserved break!! "Really hope you tune in .. it's gonna be a lot of fun."

Novo Nordisk says WeightWatchers will sell Wegovy, announces $299 price

Novo Nordisk said on Thursday it will collaborate with WeightWatchers to sell its blockbuster weight-loss drug, Wegovy, starting July 1. Under the deal, cash-paying patients can access a month's supply of Wegovy through the Danish drugmaker's Novocare pharmacy for $299. The one-time price will also be available through Novo's other telehealth partners through July 31, the company said in a release. Novo recently announced the end of its collaboration with Hims & Hers Health, citing the telehealth platform's sales of Wegovy copies and marketing tactics. WeightWatchers, which is set to exit bankruptcy, no longer offers compounded versions of semaglutide, the active ingredient in Wegovy and other Novo Nordisk medicines, according to the company's website. "We will continue to pursue and build on agreements with companies that share our values and refine initiatives that help improve access to our FDA-approved medicines for patients," said Dave Moore, an executive vice president at Novo Nordisk, adding that it is in talks with other potential partners. Novo said it is maintaining deals with Ro and LifeMD, rivals to WeightWatchers.

Red-hot weight-loss drug stock tanks after surprise pharma giant decision

2025 has been anything but boring for the stock market. Deepseek AI's scare kicked off the year, rattling faith in the "Magnificent Seven" and the broader tech space. Don't miss the move: Subscribe to TheStreet's free daily newsletter Then came President Trump's "Liberation Day" tariffs on April 2, triggering the worst pullback since the Covid crash. Subsequently, S&P 500 nosedived 4.6% in the first quarter (Q1), its worst quarterly performance since late 2022. Volatility's still running hot, CEOs are continuing to stoke stagflation fears, and Middle East flare-ups have added another unwelcome dynamic. With these headwinds, the market's biggest players haven't seemed invincible lately. There have been some big surprises, but maybe none bigger than what just happened to one of last year's hottest stocks. EuropaArguably, one of the hottest trends, alongside AI, has been weight-loss stocks. Related: Surprising decision sends weight-loss drug stock reeling Since Danish pharma giant Novo Nordisk's (NVO) type 2 diabetes drug Ozempic (semaglutide) got approved in late 2017, it has built a massive user base before people caught on to its weight-loss benefits. A few years later, in June 2021, the FDA gave Wegovy (a higher-dose formula) the green light for weight management, turning GLP-1 drugs into pharma's new money spinners. Since then, the weight-loss market has exploded. For clarity, the GLP-1 receptor is like a lock found on certain cells that responds to a natural hormone (GLP-1) released once you eat. When a GLP-1 drug (the "key") binds to this receptor, it dampens appetite signals in your brain. In the U.S., the market has doubled in size from 2022 to 2024, swelling to a whopping $33.8 billion. Wegovy made $8.1 billion last year and another $2.65 billion to kick off 2025. Ozempic? Even a bigger haul with $16.8 billion in 2024 and $5 billion in Q1 this year. Also, Eli Lilly's weight-loss drug Tirzepatide (Zepbound/Mounjaro) pulled in over $6 billion in Q1 2025 sales. Over the long term, analysts predict the broader obesity-drug market will surge to roughly $150 billion annually by the early 2030s. More On Weight Loss: New health care policy changes will soon affect weight-loss drugsA Hard No on Eli Lilly After Latest in Weight-Loss Drug WarOzempic, diet drugs hit a huge government roadblock Goldman Sachs forecasts that the obesity industry alone will be worth $95 billion annually by the end of the current decade. Novo Nordisk pulled the plug on its partnership with Hims & Hers (HIMS) , citing concerns over distributing its blockbuster weight-loss drug Wegovy. Related: Can Weight Watchers be saved? As the company files for bankruptcy, we take a closer look The Danish pharma powerhouse didn't waste much time pulling out, having worked just a month with Him & Hers. Novo Nordisk feels that Hims & Hers crossed the line by selling compounded drugs under the whole 'personalization' pitch, raising red flags over safety and legal usage. Dave Moore, Executive Vice President, US Operations of Novo Nordisk, said that, "We will collaborate with telehealth companies that prioritize patient safety in providing direct access to Wegovy. If companies engage in illegal compounding practices that threaten the health of Americans, we will take appropriate action." Following the news, Him & Hers stock lost 35% of its value, changing hands for roughly $42. Novo Nordisk stock also lost close to 6% of its value. Recent developments have shown that Novo Nordisk and Eli Lilly are all-in on protecting their turf. They continue pouring billions into production to avoid shortages and keep prices tight. Hence, when Hims & Hers started pushing out compounded GLP-1s to customers, they viewed it as a threat. Hims & Hers saw an opening when the FDA flagged a global semaglutide shortage. That effectively opened the door for compounders, with Hims wasting no time, teaming up with them in May last year to offer its own version of the drug while it stayed on the shortage list. This led to a media frenzy and a robust increase in platform visits and subscribers to Hims' platform. Its subscriptions jumped 45% to 2.2 million, with its share price climbing from $10 at the start of 2024 to over $60 by February of this year. However, in February, the FDA pulled semaglutide off its shortage list, which essentially made compounded versions a no-go. Hims' stock took a nosedive from over $60 to under $30 within a few days. But it didn't stay down for long. By April, Hims added tirzepatide to its lineup, gained traction from Medicare's refusal to cover obesity medications, and made headlines thereafter with a Wegovy deal with Novo. Related: Weight-loss drug news sends Eli Lilly stock soaring It will be interesting to see how Hims & Hers stock returns from this setback. Truth be told, it has built a colossal, loyal base of 2.4 million users who turn to it for everything from hair loss to mental health. Even with the GLP-1 shakeup, its incredible cross-sell power and triple-digit top-line growth rates show the core business is on fire. Also, with big goals for 2030, they're not stopping with potential partnerships with other GLP-1 makers looming. Over the past nine months, its stock has gained over 293%, and 96% in the past three months alone.
