BusinessCloud has added a new breaking news feature to its website.
BusinessBite is a live blog that our team of reporters will be updating throughout the day.
Unlike the normal stories that are published on our website and included in our daily newsletter, the stories on BusinessBite are a lot shorter.
This allows us to not only publish more stories, but we can do it quicker.
BusinessCloud editor Jonathan Symcox said: “The news never stops – and neither do we.
“We know people are short of time but there’s still an appetite for news.
“BusinessBite caters for people who want their news in the shorter form while people can still read the longer version as they’ve always done.
“We did a soft launch of the BusinessBite live blog this week and we’ve had an amazing response.”
Traffic up 85%
The number of visitors to BusinessCloud’s website is up 85 per cent on the same period in 2024.
Symcox said: “Today has been a really good example of why we launched BusinessBite.
“In the space of a few minutes it was announced that Pets at Home CEO Lyssa McGowan had left the business and Deliveroo founder Will Shu will be stepping down as CEO in October.
“Then it was revealed that Octopus Energy Group had spun off its technology arm, Kraken, as part of its growth strategy.
“At midday the Bank of England revealed it had decided to peg interest rates at 4 per cent.
“Because of BusinessBite we can now publish that breaking news on our website much quicker.
“It’s all part of our commitment to provide the best service we can to our customers.”
