CLASSIC PARADE ANNOUNCES ITS INCORPORATION AS AN LTD COMPANY

LONDON, March 28 (Bernama-GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- After 20 years under family ownership, Classic Parade, a hypercar hire company in London, will now effective immediately become an LTD company that has financial backing from Qatari investors.
 

This move comes from a strategic business decision to focus on growth beyond the United Kingdom. Currently, Classic Parade services luxury hypercar hire customers all over the UK, but with the revitalizing investment from its new owners, it aims to become the premium hypercar hire company that services all of Europe. No other luxury supercar for-hire provider serves that large of a geographical location in the area; Classic Parade will be the first.

Its existing portfolio of vehicles is vast, including well-known brands in the luxury vehicle community such as Ferrari, McLaren, Rolls Royce, Porsche, Audi, and more. A hire agreement can be completed in as little as 24 hours, making it possible to get a next-day hypercar hire in the UK. With these same services offered in all of Europe, Classic Parade will expand its fleet to meet the demand of its growing customer base. All of the available vehicles can be found on Classic Parade’s website, but a brief snapshot of the Classic Parade fleet is as follows:

• Ferrari SF90 Stradale: The Ferrari SF90 Stradale has impressive power with 986 bhp. In a bold red color, this is one of the most sought-after vehicles today.
• McLaren Speedtail: The sleek body of this vehicle offers aerodynamics and its 1050 bhp is a selling point for many customers.
• Lamborghini Sian: With a daily rate of £6000, this model sits at the top tier of available Lamborghinis. It features 808 bhp and goes from 0-60 MPH in 2.8 seconds.
• Porsche 918 Spyder: With a price of £3500 per day, drivers can test out the Porsche 918 Spyder’s ability to get from 0-60 MPH in 2.2 seconds.

Supercar hires have a range of price points, with each agreement requiring a security deposit. When the vehicle is returned to Classic Parade in good condition, the security deposit will be refunded to the customers. Every agreement includes self-drive hire insurance for 2 drivers, though drivers must be at least 25 years of age to drive vehicles hired from Classic Parade.

Expanding with a phased approach, Classic Parade will provide updates when servicing starts for locations around Europe. Once up and running, these locations will be able to access 24-hour service and deliveries any day of the week.

Another service that will be available to customers in all of Europe is the “Try Before You Buy” Program, which connects potential buyers with the vehicles they are interested in before they permanently purchase those vehicles. Prior to investing in an expensive vehicle, Classic Parade’s customers can drive the same luxury vehicle for any length of time. Flexible hire terms and customized pricing packages make this possible.

Those interested in hiring a supercar from Classic Parade in the UK can reach out to rent@classicparade.co.uk or +44 (0) 333 355 3595. There are no hires available in other locations, but as that changes, updates can be found here. The Classic Parade team is available 24 hours, 7 days a week to answer questions or finalize supercar hire details for customers in the UK.

GMAC releases updated Graduate Management Education Admissions Reporting Standards

KUALA LUMPUR, March 24 (Bernama) -- The Graduate Management Admission Council (GMAC), a global association representing leading business schools, has released an updated version of the Graduate Management Education Admissions Reporting Standards.

Led by a task force of 14 GMAC member schools, the revision aims to ensure the standards align with the shifting landscape of graduate business education and today's best practices of identifying gender, race and ethnicity, and undergraduate majors, among other criteria commonly used in the admissions process.

“This work, initiated in response to a strong desire for consistency and transparency from the business school community we serve, is being done to create trust with and among business school admissions professionals, especially those who are new to the field.

“Without a doubt, adopting the standardised reporting criteria at a large scale would allow prospective students and rankings organisations alike to compare apples to apples and oranges to oranges across the wide spectrum of programme options available in the market today,” said GMAC chief executive officer, Joy Jones in a statement.

Meanwhile, GMAC vice president of school and industry engagement, Sabrina White said: “GMAC will continue to be a steward of the standards and will publish a list of schools and corresponding programmes that decide to adopt and remain in compliance with the standards.

“It is our hope that more members of the business school community, as well as ranking publishers, will begin leveraging these standards to benefit the people aspiring to better themselves and the world through graduate management education.”

According to GMAC’s annual survey on prospective students worldwide, candidates rely heavily on school websites and rankings in their programme selection process.

The 2023 survey of thousands of business school aspirants, to be published early next month, shows that school websites and published programme rankings were the top two factors in the decision making of individuals considering applying for graduate business degrees.

Informed by this finding, GMAC believes it is vitally important that the information presented to prospective students is anchored in a common definition of the terms used by schools and various publications in collecting the data for reporting.

Huawei ultra-wideband, multi-antenna technologies to drive all bands to 5G

KUALA LUMPUR, March 3 (Bernama) -- Huawei will continue to innovate and help operators evolve all bands to 5G for maximised spectral efficiency as they strive to deliver more high-definition (HD) and immersive digital experiences to consumers, and accelerate the digital transformation of various industries at the All Bands to 5G Summit held during Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.

In his keynote speech, Huawei Wireless Product Line Vice President, Fang Xiang said ubiquitous 5G coverage and new high-value 5G services, such as HD live broadcasting, Voiceover New Radio (VoNR), eXtended Reality (XR), and cloud gaming, drive all bands to 5G.

“Huawei continues to innovate ultra-wideband, multi-antenna, green, and simplified solutions. This helps operators maximise spectral efficiency to build high-quality 5G networks that feature optimal performance, minimal energy consumption, premium experiences, and high adaptability," he said.

According to Huawei in a statement, the company has been continuously innovating ultra-wideband and multi-antenna technologies, and launched a full range of new product portfolios.

Ultra-wideband 4T4R RRU features the industry's lowest power consumption. It uses true wideband power amplifiers, real-time dynamic power sharing, and unique PIMC algorithm to enable simplified deployment of three bands.

Compared with the industry average, 4T4R RRUs are 30 per cent smaller in size and weight, 30 per cent better in performance, and 30 per cent lower in energy consumption.

Guests from GSMA Intelligence, Coleago, and Ookla pointed out that as 5G services like New Video, VoNR, and New Internet of Things (IoT) are developing rapidly, all bands must be evolved to 5G.

This will make multi-band deployment, multi-Radio Access Technology (RAT) coexistence, limited antenna space, and high network energy consumption common challenges in the industry.

Network evaluation criteria need to be extended from just downlink speed to coverage, latency, and uplink experience, to ensure service experiences for UHD video, cloud gaming,5GtoB, and 5G IoT.
