Lara Besbrode
Lara Besbrode, from South Manchester, lived through the painful process of an international divorce during the pandemic. Now a single mother-of-three, Lara has emerged from the divorce as a stronger version of herself and has established her own premium matchmaking service – The Matchmaker UK www.thematchmaker.uk
Following a successful career spanning three decades in PR and digital marketing, Lara channelled her postdivorce energy to rebuild her life by researching, launching and establishing a remarkable matchmaking business during the pandemic. Initially an idea that started in Lara’s kitchen, The Matchmaker UK team has rapidly grown into an elite matchmaking service that boasts an impressive staff roster of professionals including a Sales Director, a remote team of UK-based ambassadors located in every major city, an expert profiler, copywriter and a solid network of UK and international matchmakers. The Matchmaker UK has managed to swiftly establish itself and collaborates with elite agencies across the UK & globe. The team of expert ambassadors network daily to recruit single people for the agency’s ever-growing database. Not only is Lara currently completing her International MMI (Matchmaker Institute) Accreditation, but she has also been featured in the Real Housewives of Cheshire’s recent series as their Celebrity Matchmaker. She is also a regular speaker on Talk Radio (most recently chatting to Tricia Goddard) and was featured in the BBC in February 2021. Success stories at The Matchmaker UK are common. For the most awe-inspiring story, consider the couple who was introduced on 1 August 2020, fell in love on the first date, and are planning their engagement for 2022. With their first wedding on the horizon, The Matchmaker UK shows no signs of slowing down. If you’re too busy to date, recently single or waiting to meet that special someone, Lara Besbrode has three tips for success. First, she recommends dating outside of your comfort zone and being open to meeting someone outside your type. Next, prepare to go on a journey of self-development. Realise that your past is

your past, leave behind the baggage and prepare to open up by being the kind of person you want to attract. Finally, don’t look for an instant connection. That initial spark is simply lust (and not love). As a self-proclaimed true romantic, Lara believes that partnering with a matchmaker takes the hurdles out of finding love. With the vetting out of the way, and a team of experts on your side, meeting that person is only a matter of time. Matchmaking is a challenging profession. Each client presents with a unique set of requirements and expectations in a partner. This is no problem for Lara, who is so passionate about her role as a matchmaker that she’s prepared to go above and beyond to successfully match her clients. “The pandemic has not only upended the dating landscape, it has also introduced anxiety and missed opportunities into the equation.” Lara says. “We find that, now more than ever, people have woken up to a new reality, one where purpose and quality trumps superficial experiences.” People are turning to matchmaking in the hope of meeting a quality match, and they’re looking to partner with a high-quality matchmaker to secure their relationship goals. With a proven success rate, commitment to diversity and inclusivity and a body-positive approach to matchmaking, The Matchmaker UK is an elite, bespoke and premium service that caters to the unique demands of singles looking to meet their match in the UK and beyond.

BUSINESS Secure Corporate and Domestic Storage in Cyprus
Change is bound to happen. Renovation, relocation, remodelling. All these rank as one of the most stressful life events. Your life and work are disrupted as you make adjustments and changes to your daily routine. Additionally, organising, packing and keeping track of your belongings is a hassle. Then, once you move, you have to figure out where to put all your items. Luckily, you can take away some of that stress by storing your possessions at Peter Morton Removals storage facilities! At PMR, one of the core values is to make customers life as stress-free as possible. Renovation, Relocation and Remodelling, do not have to be stressful life events. Due to increased demand a few years ago, Peter Morton made a considerable investment and sourced a dedicated, massive storage facility on a 7,500 square meter site. Right now, it is ranked as the largest and safest storage facility in Cyprus. At PMR, the storage crates are made of wood and are 250 cubic ft each in size. The storage facilities are approved by BAR (British Association of Removers) and all crates are manufactured and imported from the UK. It’s easy to store items anywhere, but our warehouse is both convenient and protected. Considering your belongings’ safety ahead of time will save you the stress of having to replace something later or potentially losing something irreplaceable, expensive or dear to your heart. Additionally, the warehouse itself and all goods that are in the store are fully insured! With the recent increase in Cyprus crime rates, storing valuable goods at home doesn’t seem like a safe option any longer. Unlike houses, storage facilities offer more security to stored items. At Peter Morton Removals, the whole facility is covered by a state-of-the-art security system monitored 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Three freerunning guard dogs also patrol the premises. It is, therefore, wiser to store valuable items in a
storage unit rather than in the garage or basement of our houses. Peter Morton Removals domestic storage crates are all individually numbered. They are loaded on to purposebuilt vehicles and brought to your house, ready to be loaded by the PMR team. Upon loading of each crate, with a full inventory, the doors will be secured. On arrival of the PMR vehicle back at a secure warehouse, your numbered crate will be placed back in its specific row by a forklift. This means your goods are not handled anymore from when collected. The redelivery process works exactly the same but in
reverse. Every crate that arrives at the warehouse is logged on to the computer system. You can access your domestic storage crates at any time by appointment with the office. At PMR, we always suggest to our clients that they come and look at the storage facility. If you want to store your goods, you need to be very sure of where they going and what conditions they will be stored in. We welcome potential customers to come and view our facility, so you can see for yourself and be confident in your decision to use us.
