Chris said: "This is a new chapter for Scran which started originally on Alexandra Parade in Dennistoun in 2018, moving to London Road in 2022.
"We have had an unbelievable reception in the Barras and we want to bring what we do to even more people. The building will triple our capacity.
"The Roadie part of the new name is a tribute to New York culture, and the city's slang term for a slice of pizza to take away.
"We are increasing the team from six to 15 and have been able to attract some of the best pizza talent in the business.
"Regulars will still be able to enjoy our speciality coffee by the Roasting Project, Stornoway black pudding, fantastic Corrie Mains eggs and bespoke artisan bread from the Bavarian Bakehouse, and from midday, we will also be serving slices of thin and crisp 20-inch pizzas – that's bigger than a dartboard."
Scran and Roadie is backed by the Worq Group which specialises in building and managing luxury hotels and restaurants as well as residential complexes.
Its portfolio includes Boutique 50, an award-winning boutique hotel in Finnieston, El Santo restaurant and Revolver hotel in Glasgow.
Jonathan Doherty, founder and director of the Worq Group, continued: "Our interest is in identifying new opportunities and responding to emerging market trends and we are pleased to be partnering with Chris Mears and his team in their new venture in a really exciting part of Glasgow.
"Scran has already proved how popular its offering can be, with a dedicated following built up in a very short space of time, and we are confident that the new Scran + Roadie will build on and energise that success."

Mastercard (MA) Falters on Stablecoins Passage in Senate
We recently published a list of 10 Stocks Take A Shocking Nosedive. Mastercard Incorporated (NYSE:MA) is one of the worst-performing stocks on Thursday. Mastercard fell by 5.39 percent on Wednesday to end at $538.73 apiece as investors sold off positions on expectations that the Senate's passage of the stablecoins bill would pose a threat to its business. Stablecoins are a type of currency designed to maintain a 1:1 ratio with the US dollar and is widely used by cryptocurrency traders to move funds between tokens. Under the administration of President Donald Trump, Stablecoins gained momentum as an alternative payments method, emerging as a potential competitor to traditional payments companies, including Mastercard Incorporated (NYSE:MA). A woman using a payment terminal at the checkout of a store showing payment products and solutions.

Revenues also grew by 15.87 percent to $7.3 billion from $6.3 billion year-on-year.

HackerNoon Publishes: Business Pros Underestimate AI Risks Compared to Tech Teams, Social Links Study Shows
New York, United States, June 20, 2025 -- HackerNoon, the independent tech publishing platform, published thefollowing release today. Text below: A new study from Social Links, a leader in open-source intelligence solutions, reveals a gap between business and technical professionals when it comes to recognizing the risks posed by AI-powered cyberattacks. Despite the rapid rise in threat sophistication, business respondents appear significantly less concerned thаn their tech colleagues. This fact highlights a potential blind spot in organizational preparedness. The survey gathered insights from 237 professionals (from CEO and Technical C-level to Cybersecurity Specialists and Product Managers) across various industries, including Financial Services, Technology, Manufacturing, Retail, Healthcare, Logistics, Government, etc. The results showed that just 27.8% of business people (professionals in non-technical, business-oriented roles) identified usage of AI to generate fake messages as one of the most relevant cyber threats. In contrast, 53.3% of technical professionals flagged it as a top concern—nearly double the level of alarm. A similar pattern emerged around deepfake technology: 46.7% of technical staff expressed concern, compared to just 27.8% of business respondents. This gap underscores a critical vulnerability in organizational security: business professionals, who often make prime targets for sophisticated AI-driven social engineering and deepfake schemes, show notably lower levels of concern or awareness about these threats. At the same time, the most vulnerable departments for cyber threats identified by respondents were Finance and Accounting (24.1%), IT and Development (21.5%), HR and Recruitment (15.2%), and Sales and Account Manаgement (13.9%). 'This is no longer a question of 'if'—AI-powered threats are already here and evolving quickly,' says Ivan Shkvarun, CEO of Social Links. 'We're seeing a clear gap between those building defenses and those most likely to be targeted. Bridging that gap requires not just better technical tools, but broader awareness and education across all levels of an organization.' Key Insights from the Research: Traditional vs. AI-Driven Threats: While phishing and email fraud remain the most cited threats (69.6%), followed by malware/ransomware (49.4%), AI-driven attacks are gaining ground. 39.2% of respondents identified the use of AI to craft fake messages and campaigns as a major concern, and 32.9% pointed to deepfakes and synthetic identities—confirming that generative technologies are now a recognized part of the corporate threat landscape. 'Traditional threats like phishing and malware still dominate the charts. But what we're seeing now is that AI isn't replacing these risks, it's supercharging them, turning generic scams into tailored operations—fast, cheap, and more convincing. That's the real shift: automation and personalization at scale,' explains Ivan. Employee Footprint Risk: 60.8% of respondents report that employees use corporate accounts for personal purposes—such as posting on forums, engaging on social media, or updating public profiles. 59.5% also link publicly available employee data (e.g., LinkedIn bios, activities in forums and blogs) to real cyber incidents, identifying it as a recurring entry point for attacks. Unregulated AI Adoption: Over 82% of companies let employees use AI tools at work, yet only 36.7% have a formal policy that controls how those tools are used. This gap fuels 'Shadow AI'—the unsanctioned adoption of chatbots, code assistants, or other AI services without IT oversight, which can leak sensitive data and create hidden security and compliance risks. 'You can't really stop people from using work accounts or data when they're active online. The same goes for AI tools: people will use them to save time or get help with tasks, whether there's a policy or not. But all this activity leaves digital traces. And those traces can make it easier for scammers to find and target employees. What actually helps is teaching people how to spot the risks and giving them the right tools to stay safe, instead of just saying 'don't do it,'' explains Ivan. The research emphasizes that effective cybersecurity in the AI era requires a holistic approach that extends beyond technical controls to include comprehensive human-centric security programs. Employee training on safe AI use was overwhelmingly perceived by survey respondents as the most effective mitigation measure for 'Shadow AI' (72.2%), followed by the development of internal policies (46.8%). Social Links is committed to addressing these evolving challenges and has recently launched the Darkside AI initiative, aimed at further exploring and mitigating the risks posed by advanced AI-driven threats.

ROSEN, HIGHLY REGARDED INVESTOR COUNSEL, Encourages PepGen Inc. Investors to Secure Counsel Before Important Deadline in Securities Class Action
New York, New York--(Newsfile Corp. - June 20, 2025) - WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of securities of PepGen Inc. (NASDAQ: PEPG) between March 7, 2024 and March 3, 2025, both dates inclusive (the 'Class Period'), of the important August 8, 2025 lead plaintiff deadline. SO WHAT: If you purchased PepGen securities during the Class Period you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement. WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the PepGen class action, go to or call Phillip Kim, Esq. at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for more information. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than August 8, 2025. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation. WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources, or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually litigate securities class actions, but are merely middlemen that refer clients or partner with law firms that actually litigate the cases. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company at the time. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs' Bar. Many of the firm's attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers. DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, throughout the Class Period, defendants made false and misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) PGN-EDO51 was less effective and safe than defendants had led investors to believe; (2) the CONNECT2 study was dangerous or otherwise deficient for purposes of U.S. Food and Drug Administration ('FDA') approval; (3) as a result of all the foregoing, PepGen was likely to halt the CONNECT2 study, and PGN-ED051's clinical, regulatory, and commercial prospects were overstated; and (4) as a result, defendants' public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages. To join the PepGen class action, go to or call Phillip Kim, Esq. at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for more information. No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor's ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff. Follow us for updates on LinkedIn: on Twitter: or on Facebook: Attorney Advertising. Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome. ------------------------------- Contact Information: Laurence Rosen, Esq. Phillip Kim, Esq. The Rosen Law Firm, P.A. 275 Madison Avenue, 40th Floor New York, NY 10016 Tel: (212) 686-1060 Toll Free: (866) 767-3653 Fax: (212) 202-3827 [email protected] To view the source version of this press release, please visit
