Laura Juliet Kuenssberg (born 1976) is a British journalist. In July 2015, she was appointed as the political editor of BBC News, the first woman to hold the position, in succession to Nick Robinson.[1][2]
The daughter of Scottish businessman Nick Kuenssberg, OBE,[3][4] and his wife Sally Kuenssberg, CBE,[5] her paternal grandfather was the German-born founder and president of the Royal College of General Practitioners, Dr. Ekkehard von Kuenssberg. Her maternal grandfather, Lord Robertson, was a High Court of Justiciary judge. Her great-uncle was the last British Governor General of Nigeria, Sir James Wilson Robertson.
Kuenssberg was born in Italy, while her father was working there for Coats Viyella.[6] She grew up in Glasgow, with her brother and sister,[7] and attended Laurel Park School, an independent girls' school.[8]
Kuenssberg studied history at the University of Edinburgh, followed by a journalism course at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C.,[9] where she worked on an NBC News political programme.

Her brother is a senior civil servant in the Department for Communities and Local Government. Her sister is a diplomat and was appointed as the UK High Commissioner to Mozambique in 2014.[9][10]



Coats Group

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Coats Group plc


Coats Group plc is a British multi-national company. It is the world's largest manufacturer and distributor of sewing thread and supplies, and the second-largest manufacturer of zips and fasteners, after YKK.

Ferguslie Thread Mills
In 1755 James and Patrick Clark began a loom equipment and silk thread business in Paisley, Scotland.[3] In 1806 Patrick Clark invented a way of twisting cotton threads together to substitute for silk threads which were unavailable due to France's blockade of Great Britain and opened the first plant for manufacturing the cotton thread in 1812.[4] In 1864 the Clark family began manufacturing in Newark, New Jersey, U.S. as the Clark Thread Co.[3]
In 1802 James Coats set up a weaving business, also in Paisley. In 1826 he opened a cotton mill at Ferguslie to produce his own thread[5] and, when he retired in 1830, his sons, James & Peter, took up the business under the name of J. & P. Coats.[4] The firm expanded internationally, particularly to the USA. In 1890 Coats listed on the London Stock Exchange,[3] with a capital base of £5.7M.[5]
In 1952 J. & P. Coats and the Clark Thread Co. merged.[4] In 1961 a merger with Patons and Baldwins created Coats Patons.[3] In 1986 a merger with Vantona Viyella created Coats Viyella.[3] In 2003 Guinness Peat took Coats private and in 2015 it returned to the market as 'Coats Group'.[3]

Controversy


In 2007 Coats was fined €110 million by the European Commission for participation in cartels with Prym, YKK and other companies to fix and manipulate the prices of zips and other fasteners, and of the machinery to make them. One of the cartels ran for twenty-one years. An appeal in 2012 to the General Court of the European Union was dismissed, and the fine upheld.[6][7]
