Chile is suffering the worst wildfire outbreak to hit the South American country in over 50 years. Three firefighters were killed and another three were injured as emergency services continued to tackle numerous wildfires that have been devastating central and southern Chile. Around 130,000 hectares of forest and grassland have been burnt to the ground in some 46 wildfires raging between the regions of O'Higgins and Los Lagos. A state of emergency has been declared and Chilean President Michelle Bachelet has canceled her presidential commitments to deal with the situation. With the assistance of dozens of aircrafts, firefighters have brought hundreds of fires under control over the last few days. While wildfires are not uncommon in this area, this summer has the potential to be especially dangerous due to a long drought.

Bentley is celebrating the 50th working anniversary of its longest-serving employee this month. Noel Thompson, a coach-trimmer at the headquarters of Bentley Motors in Crewe, England, began working for the world’s leading luxury automotive brand on 1st September 1969, when he was 16 years old.Noel was one of 60 fellow apprentices to arrive on the shop-floor of the factory that day, where he spent 12 months receiving rotation training across various divisions, predominantly within engineering, before specialising in coach-trimming. An outstanding and highly-sought after line of apprenticeship schemes at Bentley has continued to train highly skilled craftspeople to this day.For 22 years, Noel Thompson was fortunate to work at the factory at the same time as his own father, who was employed as a coach-painter for almost 40 years until 1991, a period when Bentley was a subdivision of Rolls-Royce. Noel’s grandmother also worked in the factory during the second world war.
