'We've tried to cut costs where we can'
A couple whose company sells car cleaning products around the world say the last 18 months have been the hardest of their 20 years in business. Autobrite Direct, based at Festival Park in Hanley, Stoke-on-Trent, was set up by husband and wife Mark and Jill Moss in their garage in 2005. Despite experiencing huge growth from humble beginnings, the increased cost of living has forced them to adapt. "We've moved into manufacturing now, we've tried to cut costs where we can. We'll be alright, but it's not nice," Mrs Moss said. "We're lucky we've got a brand that's been established for 20 years," she added. When they set up the firm, Mark had been cleaning lorries for a living, but needed to take on something less strenuous after injuring his back. "Me and Mark are just dead normal people," Mrs Moss said. "We go in the warehouse, we pack orders, we fill bottles." Despite that, they were "very proud" of what they had built together, she said. She added that they were also heavily involved in the firm's social media marketing, which has meant people got to know them as well as their products. Mr Moss said: "We are the business. We deal with a lot of the local community, we get to speak to a lot of people." Follow BBC Stoke & Staffordshire on BBC Sounds, Facebook, X and Instagram.

Matador Technologies to Acquire Stake in Indian Firm HODL Systems
Matador Technologies, a Toronto-based digital asset firm, has entered a binding letter of intent to invest up to $3.2 million in HODL Systems, a publicly listed Indian company that integrates crypto into its treasury strategy. If fully exercised, the investment would give Matador up to a 24.95% ownership stake. The agreement also outlines plans for HODL to license and distribute Matador's blockchain-based digital gold and Ordinals products in India — one of the world's most gold-obsessed and mobile-savvy markets. India's households hold over 25,000 tonnes of gold, according to the World Gold Council, while more than 65% of the population is under 35, presenting a large potential user base for digital investment platforms. 'This strategic investment in HODL underscores our commitment to expanding our footprint in high-growth markets,' said Matador CEO Deven Soni. Chief Visionary Officer Mark Moss added that the partnership reflects a belief that 'the next wave of global financial infrastructure will be built on digital assets.' Pending regulatory approvals, the first tranche of the warrant investment — 25% of the total — is expected to close by July 10, 2025. The remainder will be committed within 18 months. The warrants can be converted into equity shares at a 1:1 ratio during that window. The deal is subject to TSX Venture Exchange approval, shareholder consent at HODL, and issuance of the warrants in dematerialized form. If completed, the move would not only mark Matador's entry into India, but also position the firm to tap into one of the largest untapped markets for crypto-backed financial tools.
