Goadsby’s support has been warmly welcomed by Ringwood Foodbank. The Foodbank receives no statutory funding and is completely reliant on donations, both food and financial, in order to operate. A spokesman from Ringwood Foodbank said, We are delighted to be working with Goadsby in this way – their generosity has made it possible to bring information about Foodbank to a large number of people, and the commitment from local offices ensures that we have collection points in the key population centres. This is a highly important initiative and we are very grateful to Simon Whitlock and Claire Naysmith at Goadsby Ringwood for their support of the Foodbank.

Winkworth has announced it will be opening a new office in Guadalmina, Spain. Situated near to the popular resort of Marbella on the southern coast of Spain, the office will add to its substantial number of offices in the UK and overseas.

Somanous has been developed over two years in collaboration with a local GP, mental health professionals and martial artists, and is offering revolutionary courses to help people bring the best out in themselves. They have integrated this variety of disciplines to provide a programme that benefits anybody interested in increasing their physical and psychological wellbeing. Somanous use the latest studies into neuroscience, psychology and sports psychology to develop programmes which teach mind-management skills to people through structured exercise programmes. The result is a variety of physical and mental benefits ranging from improved selfcontrol to increased physical flexibility. The launch event will showcase how the courses – available from early next year - work and to celebrate the successful launch of this innovative start-up. Light snacks and refreshments will be served between 6-8pm with the opportunity to participate in taster sessions.

The office will be owned and operated by Bernard Vent, who is also a Winkworth director in London. Together with an experienced team from Spain, he intends to bring the established brand to Guadalmina, Marbella, Estepona, Sotogrande and the surrounding area to help both locals and those overseas looking to relocate or for a holiday investment with all their property needs. Winkworth already has a strong footing in the European property market with an international team in Mayfair, London, as well as offices in Portugal and associates in France, Switzerland and Italy. Using this foundation, it hopes to successfully establish the office in Guadalmina before expanding into other areas of Spain. Ben Jesty of Winkworth Westbourne, comments: “This is an exciting new venture for Winkworth and comes at a time when the agency is in a strong position and has more offices than ever before. We believe that entering into this new market will allow us not only to continue to strengthen our position as a leading European estate agency but will enable us to continue to offer our clients new and exciting services.” Bernard Vent, Director of Winkworth Guadalmina, comments: “Having owned a property in this area of Spain for many years, it’s been my ambition to open a Winkworth office here in order to bring a different approach to property in the region. Drawing on the strength of the Winkworth network, we intend to help UK buyers to find their perfect property in Spain, whilst delivering the service and results clients deserve. We understand that buying a property in Spain may be a daunting prospect, whether it’s the language barrier, the foreign laws or the legal documentation, so we will be able to support clients through the whole process in order to help secure their perfect home.”

PURPLE HR OPENS NEW PREMISES AND ANNOUNCES FUTURE EXPANSION PLANS

GET READY FOR BOURNEMOUTH’S BIGGEST OPEN HOUSE WEEKEND

Mandy Fitzmaurice and Leanne Pick have taken on 1200 sq ft new premises in central Bournemouth which includes four offices and two training rooms. Their business, Purple HR, has enjoyed year on year growth since it was launched during the recession in early 2010.

Due to a recent surge in sales in the YOUhome office in Bournemouth YOUhome are celebrating by offering you the chance to sell your property before Christmas with their Bid & Buy Weekend which will take place on the 6th & 7th December 2014. The YOUhome office in Bournemouth Town Centre is experiencing a surge in business and number of properties sold. YOUhome are also experiencing a shorter timeframe from listing a property to achieving sale agreed. As a result YOUhome want you to put their skills to the test and join them in their bid and buy weekend – everyone is welcome no matter which Estate Agency you are marketing your property through. Tom Williams; Valuations Manager said “We are relishing this opportunity for prospective customers to put our skills to the test. We have built an amazing team here at YOUhome Bournemouth and we continue to get stronger and stronger. Our Bid & Buy Weekend is an exciting opportunity to make the most of our ever growing database of proceedable buyers and get your property sale agreed before Christmas.” The YOUhome Bid & Buy weekend is designed to be like one big open house auction weekend. YOUhome would appraise your property for its suitability for the event and discuss with you a realistic guide price to market the property at, in order to attract as much interest as possible for the weekend of the event. YOUhome will advertise your property extensively with their first class marketing and highly experienced sales team will organise viewings with their large database of proceedable buyers for the Bid & Buy Weekend. It doesn’t matter which Estate Agency you are on the market with, everyone is welcome to join in on this fantastic Bid & Buy Weekend. To join in, you must instruct YOUhome before Friday 21st November 2014 to allow enough time to prepare the marketing for your property so to make the most of the event. For full details on how you can enter and challenge YOUhome please visit www.youhome.co.uk/bidandbuy Follow the challenge on Facebook or on Twitter using #YHBidandBuy.

Purple HR is a commercial business working with SMEs to help them manage the risks that come alongside being an employer and realise the true potential of their people. Says Mandy Fitzmaurice, “We are now in our 5th year of trading and have taken on these new premises as a part of our development and growth, our aim is to increase our client base across the South and we expect to see a 50% increase in turnover by 2017. The mother and daughter HR team are already successfully working with a long list of customers across Dorset, Hampshire, Wiltshire and London which includes Dorset Chamber of Commerce, Adams Morey and Cleanforce Support Services amongst others. Collectively the team has more than 30 years of hands-on business expertise to help and guide business owners. Mandy, founder of Purple HR enjoyed a successful career in corporate life as HR Director for a large FTSE 250 business and decided to start Purple HR when she saw a niche in the marketplace to help SMEs. Her daughter Leanne Pick comes from a legal background working as a Practice Manager for a Dorset law firm as well as gaining experience in systems and compliance and as is the technical whizz on Purple’s online

HR system. Leanne acts as the HR Manager for Purple’s clients and Mandy takes the role of HR Director providing strategic advice and support. Says Mandy “I started the business in the middle of the recession but that didn’t deter me one bit, at Purple HR we offer the same calibre of HR advice and support you would expect from any of the larger corporate firms however what sets us apart is that you get us personally helping you the business owner. I started my career in General and Operational Management so I understand the challenges that every business owner faces and our expertise in change management enables us to help our clients when it comes to the more complex areas of people management” Ian Girling, Chief Executive of Dorset Chamber of Commerce & Industry says, “It is fantastic to see Purple HR moving forward. I was delighted to officially open the new offices. People are an organisations most valuable asset and effective HR management is essential; we at DCCI have seen first-hand that Purple HR offers a first class service to business owners.”

THERMAL & ACOUSTIC SOLUTIONS PROVIDE TRAINING OPPORTUNITIES THERMAL and Acoustic Solutions, based in Christchurch are helping to educate their peers and stakeholders in a series of lunchtime seminars. The September event saw Mark Brooks of TLX speak about multi foil insulation products that are suitable for pitched roofs. Mark illustrated how the use of these products can achieve the required thermal values to comply with Part I of the 2012 Regulations. Shaun de la Rue, Managing Director of Thermal and Acoustic Solutions, said: “It is important that contractors and architects with whom we work understand the benefits of different types of products on the market. There are many choices and by illustrating how each of them performs can

assist at the planning and design stage. He added, “We keep our seminars informal and invite guests relevant to the subject matter, but all who attend are able to obtain CPD points in order to conform with their professional qualifications. “With our imminent move to larger offices next month, we are looking forward to increasing the size of the audience and being able to invite more people along to benefit from our seminars” he said. Thermal & Acoustic Solutions are well versed in their area of expertise and have been offering services for over 20 years to assure that achieving building regulation compliance is a smooth and hassle free process.

They are committed to providing a first class service and for more information on Thermal & Acoustic Solutions and their offerings, telephone 01202 487463 or visit their website at www.thermalacoustics.co.uk

James Tiller MARLA Lettings Manager & Client Accounts

Ellie Mattison Senior Lettings Specialist

Expert local knowledge from the YOUhome Bournemouth lettings team are the Q. What best buy to let bargains in

Bournemouth?

James: Bournemouth is a thriving market for young professional couples with some unable to afford deposits to buy. We believe this demographic will underpin demand for some time to come. Good quality one or two bed properties in areas with easy access to the town centre such as Meyrick Park, Charminster, Westbourne and Boscombe are particularly attractive. Ellie: We see an ever increasing demand for housing in Bournemouth and Poole both to rent and to buy. Charlotte: There is also a strong student presence in Bournemouth, with two universities and a

host of language colleges. Accommodation for students is changing and moving away from the traditional large houses, many students now prefer to be in smaller properties. With a large market students will be looking for the best accommodation possible and within their affordability.

often should Q. How my property be inspected? Roxanne: As part of our fully managed service we carry out quarterly inspections at our properties. This timeframe offers a good balance so as not to disturb your tenants quiet enjoyment but also to ensure there arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t any maintenance issues that might go unnoticed. It also helps maintain a good dialogue with your tenant so they feel happy and comfortable at your property.

Charlotte Hayward Lettings Specialist

can I Q. How achieve the best possible rent? Ellie: Focus on what makes your property stand out, good decor and high quality photos will certainly help. Ensure your property is presentable, tenants make swift decisions. First impressions really count and you only get one chance to make one. Charlotte: When tenants are able to pick and choose, the most successful properties that are being let are those offered newly or very recently refurbished. Roxanne: When rents achieved have dropped or remained static it is all too easy to justify holding off on improvements and maintenance with a mind to upgrading a property once market conditions have improved. This however is a self-defeating cycle. When tenant expectations are high, it is vital to ensure the general condition of a property is kept up together. James: The two most important areas to tenants are the kitchen and bathroom(s), where possible try to maintain these areas to a

good standard as this will give you a competitive edge.

can I reduce Q. How void periods? James: The best way is to be knowledgeable about the local rental market, allowing you competitively to price your property according to market conditions. Choosing the right agent is paramount, choose someone who is local to the area and experienced with renting your type of property. Timing is also very important; if a tenant does not want to renew their tenancy, we start advertising the property at least two months before the agreement ends to ensure we avoid void periods. Ellie: Finally be realistic, overpricing can lead to longer void periods. If a tenant is trying to negotiate our recommended approach is be firm but fair, think of the bigger picture.

The collection features a hero design charmingly called ‘The Duke’, an archive print of nesting white storks on linen and wallpaper and ‘Adelphi’ classic Art Deco geometric pattern in strong golds, purples and blues.

ASK THE EXPERT Aimee Ramage Burns Estates Is your Letting Agent aware of current legislation….? New ARLA Logo 2008 smallAs an ARLA (Association of Residential Letting Agents) licensed company we pride ourselves on keeping updated with current legislation. Our Staff are ARLA qualified or currently training for their qualifications. After working in the Lettings & Property Management Industry for over 10 years I cannot stress to landlords how important it is to choose an ARLA registered or licensed agent. As an ARLA Agent you have to adhere to a strict code of practice. When meeting new Landlords I am often shocked that legislation hasn’t been discussed by their Letting Agency or other companies attending to value their rental property. It seems that the majority of Landlords assume they that their letting agent will look after their best interests at all times & ensure compliance. However my advice is – never assume! As a Landlord you must ensure that your rental property meets current safety standards in accordance with the relevant Sections of the Housing Act. It seems many landlords are unaware of their responsibilities with regards to Electrical Safety. By law, landlords must ensure electrical installations and wiring are maintained in a safe condition throughout the tenancy. The ESC (Electrical Safety Council) recommends landlords should have electrical appliances and installations checked at least every five years by a registered electrician, along with carrying out regular visual checks themselves. Legislation within our industry is constantly changing & therefore it is imperative that Landlords & Agents alike keep themselves up to date at all times to ensure tenants safety. There are currently new measures being introduced regarding Immigration & Electrical Safety which all Agents and Landlords need to be fully aware of. The Home Office has recently announced that private landlords in Birmingham, Walsall, Dudley, Sandwell and Wolverhampton could face fines of up to £3,000 from 1st December 2014 if they fail to check the immigration status of prospective tenants. This phasing in of the compulsory landlord immigration checks under the Immigration Act 2014, which became law earlier this year, is expected to continue with the phased introduction of the checks across the country next year. As a Landlord you are legally obliged to see evidence of a person’s identity and citizenship, e.g. a passport or biometric residence permit. Landlords must also be able to evidence that the checks have been carried out by copying the documents and retaining the copies for one year after the tenancy ends. Please call Aimee on now 01202 55 33 35 or email aimee@ burnsestates.co.uk for more information. To find out more about our professional and proactive approach please visit our fantastic new website: www.burnsestates.co.uk

We can manage the property for 6% or just supply the tenants for you to manage yourselves.

DIARY OF A LETTING AGENT Sharon Canning Move on Rentals mmmm….. Where do I start? An eventful few weeks. Firstly I turned 50 and had an amazing party with lots my family and friends, which was great, but as I was preparing my slides for a couple of presentations this month, I realised I had to adjust my numbers. The numbers I am referring to represent my life in the property world! So I now have 31 years of being a landlord, 24 years of working within the industry, 9 years of owning Move On Rentals and nearly 2 years of producing and presenting a weekly radio show dedicated to the property industry. Not bad for a young 50 year old!! I love numbers and so when preparing for my 30 minute talk on ‘New Market Opportunities’ at the recent Landlord Exhibition in Bournemouth I looked at some stats and thought I would share them with you. 2020 has been talked about for the last few years. Mainly because the baby boom of the 80’s will be hitting an age of leaving home, starting a family and getting on the property ladder. However, there is very likely to be a shortage of around 1 million homes due to not enough properties being built to accommodate the ever growing population and to also catch up with the backlog of the last few years. The experts predict that 250,000 homes are needed to be built each year and only just over 100,000 are being built. This is going up and in fact 200,000 applications were passed through planning last year, and even though only 1117,000 odd were built it is the highest amount passed through planning since 2006. So, what does this mean? Well in the private rented sector this will

their parents to save for a deposit. In the peak of 2007 72.5% of the UK population owned their own home; this has been declining and is presently around 65%. Interestingly in Poole and Bournemouth of the 70,000 plus properties that are rented out, nearly 43,000 are provided by the private rented sector, no wonder we have some 115 plus letting agents between the 2 towns! As said it is good news for investors, however be warned, the nation of renters are expecting good quality accommodation for their money and some landlords need to up their game so to speak.

OUTDOOR LIVING COMMERCIAL

HENGISTBURY HEAD VISITOR CENTRE In April 2014, Reformed Plastics installed a fantastic Boardwalk at the Hengistbury Head Visitor Centre in Bournemouth. We happily donated the Boardwalk to the visitor centre, in order to complement the centre’s new Wildlife garden. We are really privileged to have worked on such a great project. Especially, as this project is sure to give generations of people pleasure in getting closer to nature. The best thing about using Reformed Plastics’ materials is that they are long-lasting, resistant to rot, decay and vandalism, and they look great throughout the year. In addition to this, our products are wildlife friendly and resistant to insects, making them perfect to use in a wildlife garden.With developments in our modern technology, the range of products available made using recycled plastic is expanding rapidly. While this list is not exhaustive, it shows the wide variety of products particularly suited to landscaping applications...

The concept of Reformed Plastics was born over 15 years ago from the curiosity of its founder. Being an engineer by profession, and having had his own UPVC Windows business, and also being the practical and inquisitive person that he is, one day he decided to find out what was really happening to the waste that people were so freely throwing away. His research and interest lead him to focus on plastics, how it can be recycled and what it could be reused for. He discovered that the USA & a few European countries had been recycling and re-manufacturing waste plastics into alternative timber products for many years, instead of throwing it all into landfill! Over time, slowly but surely he developed a few basic products in the form of planks and posts and very soon he began to receive interest from people wanting to know more about this revolutionary product that is both an environmentally friendly alternative to normal timber and sustainable which means it will save them a lot of money in the long term! From then on, many products have been developed and the rest as they say is history.

TESTIMONIALS AMANDA AGAR

“I just wanted to say Thank you for all your help over the past few months regarding my nephews memorial Bench. The installation went ahead as planned on the 12th April, and we are all very happy with the end result. Your professionalism and understanding over the past few months is greatly appreciated. If you wish to see the pictures and read the story you can go to burtonmail.co.uk and search Jordan Agar and you should be able to see a slideshow and story of the memorial bench. Many Many Thanks “

BRIAN DEAR “We used you again for the 2nd project. Service – Very helpful & friendly when I was doing initial investigation, and for delivery of order. Product – Price was competitive and all is wearing very well 3 years on! ”

PAULINE BEER “We are all more than pleased with our two sets of tables / benches, which we have in our Verwood Heritage Centre courtyard & used daily by our many customers – they look as good as new still! ”

PAUL THOMAS

“5 years on and the cabin is looking Great – the plastic posts were a Fantastic solution. I would highly recommend them to all Deck builders and for any application where posts into the ground are needed. Set them in concrete and forget them. Brilliant! ”

114

WHAT CAN THE PLASTIC BE USED FOR ? The manufactured plastic has many practical and very useful properties. The main base of our products are in the form of planks and posts which can be used on their own for garden fences, both low for front gardens and high for side and back fences for instance, along road sides and around fields and paddocks just to name a few. It is also possible to produce a number of other products out of our plastic, such as picnic tables. These would vary in size, suitable for adults and children. Park benches, outdoor tables, square or rectangular plant boxes, decking and seating... the list is endless.

FINANCIAL BENEFITS Achieving value for money is a key driver for any purchasing decision. Although some recycled products have greater up-front cost, their longevity and durability make them a more cost-effective option over the long term.

WHY ARE RECYCLED PLASTIC PRODUCTS DIFFERENT? Plastic lumber is the perfect alternative to anything that has ever needed maintaining. Plastic lumber can be cut with a regular saw, drilled, nailed or screwed into and routed as easily as wood.

• Does not rot • Will not need painting or staining • Is wear resistant • Resistant to vandalism • Resistant to salt water • Resistant to insects and bacteria • Non-slip decking

ASK THE EXPERT Tony Peters Planit Mortgages Your local mortgage adviser

Are 87% of statistics made up? The Bournemouth/Poole/Christchurch area has come out as being the 5th most expensive place to live in Britain with the average house price being 10.5 times average earnings. I’m a little sceptical of those figures though. First of all, the average house price here is somewhat skewed by the plethora of multi-million pound homes in places like Sandbanks, Branksome Park and in some of the nearby rural areas. If you are an avid reader of this fine publication then you will find at least a dozen homes over £1m in every issue and many more over £500,000. These kinds of prices are bound to lift the average price upwards. There are plenty of homes in the area under £200,000, well within the affordability of many residents. Then we look at income. As this is a tourist town, there are lots of jobs in bars, restaurants and hotels that are taken up by students and a migrant workforce which pull down the average wage compared to people in industry for example. From my experience as a mortgage broker in Dorset, although we are not in the North of England where prices can be as little as half of the prices here, we are not in as bad a position that we are lead to believe. If prices really are 10.5 times earnings and the maximum you can borrow these days is 4.5 times income then you need 6 times average income as a deposit and who on Earth manages to save 6 times their salary in order to afford a home? Second and subsequent home buyers might have it in equity but first time buyers have no chance so this figure is not entirely accurate as we have arranged many mortgages for people this year with less than half a year’s salary as a deposit. But what does it mean to readers of this column? Prices of homes are on the upside of affordable but affordable all the same. I was in Hampstead, North London last week visiting a client and he pointed out that 2 bedroom ex-council flats in the area are now changing hands for up to £600,000. You can still buy a 5 bedroom house in Talbot Woods for that (just about). Also, because of the afore-mentioned students and low paid workforce, there is a great demand for rented accommodation. Buy to let mortgage activity from landlords and potential landlords has increased substantially over the last 3 months and is showing no signs of slowing down. Competition will increase for property once pension funds are released to invest in real estate as promised by the Chancellor, so it might be time to enter the market now rather than waiting for next year.

Some people want it to happen, some wish it could happen, others...

So what is the right property to invest in? According to statistics and backed up with our own findings, the best property for investors is the humble one bedroom flat. In terms of yield, growth and rental voids, five 1-bedroom flats costing £100,000 each will out-perform one 5-bedroom house over any period you wish to think of. HMOs are an exception to the rule as they are generally converted from family homes into what is in effect, separate mini-flats with a common living/cooking area. They are fantastic earners though, it must be said. I will talk more about them in a future column. Meanwhile, if you want to know more about residential mortgage affordability and using buy to let mortgages to invest in property, drop us a line.

Large, statement table lamps create a real focal point in the room, and provide an intimate light in the evening.”

TOP TRENDS The great thing about lighting is you can tune into the latest looks without spending a fortune. Obviously, a crystal chandelier or standout floor piece might make a dent in your savings, but a simple shade or statement table lamp can give a room a whole new look - and give you change from a £20 note. Copper is a big highlight this season, and matches the autumnal palette perfectly. “Contemporary copper lighting adds a stylish finishing touch to any decor,” says Rachel Small, Sainsbury’s home living buying manager. “Giving off a burnished glow, copper pendants create a dramatic centrepiece for an ambient dining setting, while copper table lamps enhance any living space, bringing a subtle metallic accent.” Alicia Kaper, head of curation

at Joss & Main, completely agrees: “With the clocks going back, one of the most effective ways to bring added ambience to your home is through well-chosen lighting. Copper continues to reign supreme as ‘the’ metal of the moment, but to get a kick-start on another key material story, look out for lighting made from weathered woods, which form the basis of the season’s modern rustic look.” Of course, stunning, ornate styles are never going to go out of fashion and always create an impact, and even light bulbs are beautiful now. “Bulbs are no longer boring,” asserts Diane Simpson, lighting buyer at John Lewis. “Calex bulbs look striking with their carbon filaments and can be hung from plain or coloured cord to provide a retro feel to your home. Lee Broom’s range of UK-made crystal bulbs provide a delicate and decorative alternative, while Plumen have managed to make low energy light bulbs look great.”

RAMP UP YOUR ROOMS With long, dark evenings fast approaching, and Christmas not that far away, it’s a great time to focus on making rooms feel warm and cosy. “Lighting is the perfect solution to uplift an interior setting during dismal months; how you choose to illuminate your space will have a huge impact on

How you light a room is - perhaps surprisingly one of the most important factors of a decor scheme.

both the look and feel of your room,” says Katie Watson, interior designer at Fishpools. “Get it right and lighting can bring any space to life, adding character, as well as providing a pleasing illumination for a truly relaxing ambiance. “Consider the function of a space, though,” she continues. “It might not be the most exciting aspect, but it’s important to think through the practical elements, as these will make all the difference when it comes to the finished look.”

DRAMATIC DINING Lighting in a dining room can vary in preference from person to person. I like nothing more than wining and dining in a dimly lit, romantic setting, no matter how many people are at the table, but many prefer a brighter setting. “The balance of lighting is key,” adds Watson. “You’ll need the lights dimmed enough to create an atmosphere, but not so dark that guests find it difficult to see their food. An overhead light, such as a chandelier or dramatic pendant, will make a fabulous addition. A few table lamps will also work nicely, but be sure to consider their placement to ensure their glow doesn’t interrupt your room’s overall mood.”

THE FUTURE OF LED LIGHTING THE FUTUREâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S BRIGHT There are a variety of reasons why we should all be using LED lighting as an alternative to the standard lighting used in our homes, offices, hotels, retail, clubs & decorative environments. Look around and you will quickly find that the inefficient, high maintenance light sources, including filament, Fluorescent, Halogen and Neon are still used in abundance. You can change this now and begin making serious energy cost savings by using LED-ZIP Lighting systems.

ASK THE STRESS EXPERT

ASK THE EXPERT

Maggie McCauley Stress Management Consultant Top of your Game

Chris Baker Planning 3D

Ask the stress management expert how to eliminate stress daily to feel refreshed and creative again.

Influencing the Planning process with powerful visual images

During the course we offer, we will teach you a very simple technique to learn and natural technique to eliminate stress in a quick and efficient way. The technique of the mind, called the Vedic technique, is powerful and efficient. Once you have taken the course, you have the technique forever and can do it whenever you want and wherever you want. The recommendation being twice a day morning and evening. We run courses in Bournemouth, Poole, London and any other places in the UK according to the demand. The people that have been on our courses are delighted with the benefits they get from the first day of the course. We teach individuals and also corporate groups up to 15 people.

“Planning Approved” – the critical milestone for any developer or self builder to achieve. However, if you have issues with a planning application, then Planning 3D can offer a range of visual solutions which can be tailored to suit your needs and support your submission – whether you are applying or opposing. Planning decisions take into account many factors including information about the building size and density, loss of light, impact on street scene, overlooking/loss of privacy and design, appearance and materials. 3D architectural visualisations can be more informative and easier to understand than 2D drawings/floor plans, particularly during pre-planning and consultation phases. Planning 3D can merge proposed buildings with reallife photos, to show how the development will fit in with its surroundings, providing planning officers with a more realistic proposal.

Benefits: - Reduce your stress - Better sleep - Improve your physical health - Raise your energy levels - Unfold your mental potential (better memory, better focus, sharper)

Increasingly we are asked to provide compelling visuals on behalf of private clients or residential pressure groups who are actively seeking to oppose an application.

- Enhance your creativity - Boost your confidence ( good for meetings, speeches...) - Improve your relationships at work and at home

ALL OF OUR FITTER THAN FIT CLASSES ARE DESIGNED WITH THE SAME GOALS IN MIND TO IMPROVE FITNESS BY STRENGTHENING HEART & LUNGS TO TONE & STRENGTHEN MUSCLES TO BURN CALORIES & FAT

WE CAN HELP YOU GET THAT SUMMER BODY... BUT DON’T JUST TAKE OUR WORD FOR IT I wanted to get down a couple of sizes before my holiday and I had seen my friend loose almost 2 stone after going to Fitter Than Fit so I decided to give it a go. The first class was free so I had nothing to loose except some excess fat!

As someone who has always struggled to motivate myself to go to the gym I’ve always been on the look out for a better solution. I stumbled across Fitter Than Fit by accident and thought I’d give it a go. Fun, friendly and most importantly, no egos.

What I loved about the classes was everyone was so friendly, Charlie and Mike who take the classes were very supportive and made it fun by throwing in some Thai Boxing exercises that have not only toned my legs and bum but also taught me some helpful self defence techniques, I couldn’t be happier with the result which took about 7 weeks!

You really do only get out what you’re prepared to put in, but to have people there to motivate you towards your goal makes all the difference. In the first six months Fitter Than Fit helped me lose well over a stone in body fat. No two sessions have ever been the same. It’s hard work, with a firm but fair mentality, but you will not find a more engaging, enjoyable and rewarding way to exercise. It’s changed something I used to dread into something I can’t wait for.

I am more confident, have more energy and feel great.

5 MINUTES WITH...

RACHEL RILEY HOW DID YOU COPE WITH THE PRESSURE ON COUNTDOWN IN THE EARLY DAYS? We do 15 shows in three days when we record, so I didn’t even know whichcamera to look at for the first lot, never mind which sums I was doing. But very quickly you get used to it. To start with it was, ‘Where am I? What am I doing? What are these things? Oh, they’re numbers’. WHAT IS IT ABOUT ‘COUNTDOWN’ THAT KEEPS YOU AND THE AUDIENCE COMING BACK FOR MORE? Carol [Vorderman] was there for 26 years and I’ve been there for six now. It’s just part of the national psyche. I don’t think it translates to the US or anything like that; I’ve explained to Americans before what I do: ‘It’s the only game show with maths where you win a teapot’. It’s something you can play along with. For me, it was something I enjoyed when I was a kid; it’s not like a quiz show with questions, where you accrue knowledge and you’re going to be better the older you are; you can play however old you are. You can play kids against grandparents... it passes through the generations. We love crossword puzzles and Sudoku as a nation, and it’s that kind of mental agility that keeps Countdown going.

WOULD YOU BE INTERESTED IN TAKING COUNTDOWN TO THE STATES IF THE CHANCE AROSE? If the job was there I wouldn’t mind. I’ll do Countdown here then fly to the States and do Countdown over there. Wouldn’t be bad would it?

WERE YOU SURPRISED WHEN 8 OUT OF 10 CATS DOES COUNTDOWN BECAME SO SUCCESSFUL? Yeah, well we did one for Channel 4’s 30th birthday, because it was the first ever show on Channel 4, and we’ve done something like 28 episodes now. We’re doing another six, filming before Christmas, and hopefully some more in the New Year too. It’s great; I love those boys, I find

them really funny. When I was a kid, I used to watch Countdown at 4.30pm. Because it’s on so early now, often teenagers and students don’t actually get time to watch it, so having it on a Friday night at 9pm has opened it up to a new audience.

IT’S GOOD TO SEE A GAME SHOW THAT EVEN PEOPLE WITH MATHS PROBLEMS CAN ENJOY Yeah, watching things like that over and over, you do actually improve quite quickly. It’s brain training.

YOU’VE ALSO WORKED ON THE NEW SHOW, MEMORY SLAM That’s coming up in November; a oneoff show but it was really good fun. It was some kids - not child geniuses, just regular kids - 12 to 14 years old; they entered a competition and they got trained by memory champions, and over the course of a couple of months, they became totally amazing... so they could memorise a whole pack of cards and a hundred digits in a row. That will go out hopefully in November on Watch.

YOU LOOK GREAT. IS THAT DOWN TO DIETING AND THE GYM OR CAN YOU EAT WHAT YOU LIKE AND STILL LOOK GOOD? At the moment, I’ve on one of those annoying food intolerance diets, so I’m a bit skinny, but hopefully I’ll get my stomach feeling better and then eat everything as Christmas approaches. I hate the gym; I just get so bored. I like cycling around London, especially if there’s a shop or cafe at the end of it. And I like Zumba. It’s really good fun, just dancing around. Time just flies by, and then you hurt at the end of it, which is a good sign.

THE EARLY BIRD CATCHES THE BEST PENSION Businesses that fail to carefully plan for and adopt the government’s auto-enrolment pension programme are at risk of having to choose from less favourable schemes than those businesses that act early, according to leading Chartered Accountancy and Financial Services business, Ward Goodman. Recent consultation has shown that many employers are under the assumption that all pension schemes are essentially the same – many of which are failing to ask whether their chosen scheme meets their obligations or if it even represents good value for money. Gareth Simon, Director at Ward Goodman Financial Services said: “Although pension auto-enrolment has been heavily publicised in the media, some companies have not yet even begun to plan for the nationwide roll-out. Businesses should not underestimate how long the process may take, as they need to consider how this may affect their internal systems, such as Payroll. Companies also need to make

e n o m Si as m o Th

sure that they have a really good look at how their workforce will be affected, and that the process is clearly communicated internally too.” Commenting on the work undertaken for them by Ward Goodman, Trevor Holloway, Financial Director at Dorset Auto Spares Limited, said: “Ward Goodman were true to their word and managed to make the entire process from start to finish all come together. We now have a first rate pension in place for our staff!” Gareth Simon continued: “The good news is that external advisers and experts will be able to help companies understand the whole process. However, businesses should not assume that all staff are eligible for a pension, nor should they assume that once a pension provider has been secured that everything will be done for them. Seek help early to make sure your business adopts the best pension scheme to suit your requirements and meet your obligations!”

Failure to act fast on pension auto-enrolment could leave businesses with limited options.

ABSOLUTE

STONE & BRICK

Why not give your property a facelift? Absolute stone and brick use a DOFF based cleaning system. It’s unlike any other steam system and can achieve temperatures 150°C. The DOFF system will remove dirt, paint, moss, algae, fungi, some graffiti, soot and smoke damage from almost any surface. The system uses steam so there is no need to use a chemical biocide during the removal process and the surfaces are dry within minutes. Unlike jet washing, DOFF uses steam rather than preasure to clean so it wont damage the surface being cleaned and also the steam kills any moss, fungi bio matter so the surface stays cleaner for much longer.

MOTORING NEWS

SUBARU BRZ

The latest news on all things motoring. By Nick Fletcher

NEW FORD FOCUS ST The new Focus ST 12-model range has gone on sale priced from £22,195 ahead of first deliveries from February 2015. Showcasing a new sports exterior design and enhanced and improved interior for Ford’s latest global performance car, two engines, three series and two bodystyles make up the hot new Focus ST range in the UK. Both the 250hp EcoBoost petrol and 185hp TDCi diesel 2.0-litre engines are offered in the ST-1, ST-2 and ST-3 series. The latest Ford Focus ST lineup continues with the estate bodystyle for both roomy loadspace and sporty handling, alongside the five-door hatch alternative. The Ford Focus ST’s powerful new 2.0-litre diesel develops 185 hp and emits only 110g CO2/km. The CO2 output of the 2.0-litre 250 hp petrol engine is reduced by 10g to 159g. In addition to the full ST body styling kit, sport tuned suspension and 18-inch unique ST alloy wheel standard features on the new Ford Focus ST-1, ST-2 has LED daytime running lights as standard and the top ST-3 series is enhanced by a series of upgrades, including ‘Rock Metallic’ alloys with red brake callipers, illuminated scuff plates, privacy glass, SYNC 2 with 8-inch touchscreen and cruise control with speed limiter. Both petrol and diesel models offer Auto-Start-Stop for the first time, improving the EcoBoost engine version’s fuel efficiency by six per cent and making it the most fuelefficient petrol Focus ST ever. Ford has sold more than 140,000 Focus ST models in 40 countries worldwide since the car was first launched in 2002 – 43,600 of those in Britain.

Sports coupes are a niche market aimed at buyers who are prepared to compromise on space, comfort and practicality for the sheer joy of dynamic driving, writes NICK FLETCHER. One of the most appealing contenders in this hard-fought sector is the Subaru BRZ, a head-turning 140 mph sports car which takes on the likes of the Audi TT and Peugeot RCZ. The BRZ, priced from £22,495, is powered by a 197 hp 2.0 litre petrol engine which is good for a 0-60 mph time of just 7.6 seconds thanks to its slippery shape and light weight. The engine is a 2.0-litre horizontally opposed flat-four, which needs plenty of revving to get the best from it but it puts down smooth power through a slick

6-speed gearbox. The steering is sharp and accurate and provides the driver with great control and assurance. Suspension is understandably hard to help provide all that grip On smooth tarmac ride comfort is surprisingly good, but elsewhere, if you run over a pound coin, you’ll feel it! Road noise is just about the only downside of the BRZ – you do have to turn up the radio, or speak a tad louder to your passenger, but the wonderful rumble of the exhaust note at speed more than makes up. Official fuel consumption is 36.2 mpg combined, and in a busy week of urban and motorway driving, I got 35.2 mpg, very respectable for such a performance car. The cabin looks rather ordinary but

is well laid out for easy use. It is quite roomy for front occupants and though there are two rear seats, they are really just for folding down to boost luggage space. No adult could use them unless a circus contortionist! My entry-level SE test car has keyless entry, power front windows, stability and traction controls, climate control, alloy wheels, front foglamps, cruise control, radio/CD/MP3/iPod, and multi-airbags. The only other version, SE Lux at £23,995, adds heated leather seats. With its low-slung stance, sleek profile, big twin exhausts, and boot spoiler, the BRZ looks more potent than most rivals and catches more attention. It drives and handles well and provides just enough practicality for everyday use.

The X5 M and X6 M accelerate from 0-60 mph in 4.2 seconds, but in normal driving are capable of 25.4 mpg, with CO2 emissions of 258 g/km – reductions of over 20 per cent compared to the previous models. The interiors include an M leather steering wheel with gearshift paddles, an

M gearshift lever, an M Drive menu in the information display and M Drive buttons on the steering wheel. The BMW X5 M and X6 M arrive in dealerships on 11 April, 2015, and will be priced at £90,170 and £93,070 respectively.

NEW BMW M MODELS BMW says ultra-high performance with exceptional fuel efficiency characterise the second-generation X5 M and X6 M. Compared to the 2009 models which they succeed, they bring improvements of up to 10 per cent in power, torque and performance while lowering fuel consumption and CO2 emissions by over 20 per cent. Both models are powered by a new 4.4-litre M TwinPower Turbo V8 engine with two TwinScroll turbochargers. With outputs of 575 hp it is the most powerful engine ever developed by BMW for four-wheel-drive vehicles. It is linked to a newly developed eight-speed M Steptronic automatic transmission.

NO SWEAT

Gym-free Slimming We all love the idea of a weight-loss fix minus the hard work - but can you really get results? If someone said you could lie on a couch, be massaged for half hour and lose significant inches around your waist, you’d have every right to be sceptical. Is this really possible, or too good to be true? We put this question to Fat Loss Expert ‘Terry Gayle’ from The Slimming Rooms: After years of working in the Fitness Industry trying to help people to lose weight, it became obvious that following a Diet Plan or attending the Gym week in week out isn’t for everyone! We’ve all heard of the phrase EAT LESS and EXERCISE MORE, but sometimes we need some extra help in shifting those stubborn areas of fat where diet and exercise just won’t work. At The Slimming Rooms in Bournemouth. We offer a variety of slimming and weight loss treatments including the revolutionary Lipofirm Plus Ultrasound Liposuction treatment. In a nutshell, Lipofirm Plus uses ultrasonic technology to break down fat cells and radio frequency to tighten up your skin, so you get inch loss and firm skin all in one. It’s one of the few medically proven ultrasound liposuction machines available in the whole of the UK. Lipofirm Plus is a convenient non surgical, non invasive, no needles, no pain, no down time solution for both men and women and results are visible after the first treatment! Watch the stubborn areas of fat you’ve tried to lose for years simply melt away. Say goodbye to counting calories and those fad diets doomed from the start. All you have to do is lie on a comfy couch, close your eyes and relax as the therapist gets on with all the hard work.

Looking for Non Surgical, Non Invasive Liposuction in Bournemouth? We can help with our state of the art machine! Call us today to book your FREE consultation at our Weight Loss Clinic in Bournemouth, and find out more about our highly effective slimming treatments:

LE BATEAU REVIEW 141-143 Commercial Road Ashley Cross Poole BH14 0JD Tel: 01202 730 263

Fancy sitting in the companion of a great white shark and eat pizza off a surfboard? Le Bateaux will not disappoint to fulfill your bucket list. On a Monday morning House could not think of a better thing to do than just that. Across the lush green of Ashley Cross wood fire ovens are reaching 650 degrees. A quick glance at the menu and it is immediately apparent that Le Bateau is offering something a little more curious than your typical pizza. Amongst those favored topping combinations, the classics like ham and mushroom, chicken and BBQ sauce, and a trio of cheeses, Le Bateau have taken just a few steps outside of the box. Duck on a pizza, yes! China meets Italy and they have fallen in love. Shredded duck generously drizzled with hoisin sauce and thinly sliced cucumber and spring onion is the filling you would notably find in a Chinese pancake. At Le Bateau you can find it on a pizza. All weather warmer pulled pork with apple sauce, is no longer saved for hog roasts. Dorset has its own pizza delight. These are just a few of the more unusual pizza toppings that Le Bateau is serving up. House got stuck in and tried multiple toppings. A particularly loved topping was ‘Rosary Goats Cheese’. If you like goat’s cheese, then I cannot put this any other way than experiencing goat’s cheese heaven. Sweet caramelized red onions classically paired with goat’s cheese just got taken up a notch with the addition of roasted sweet potatoes and sun blushed tomatoes.

Although House opted for the specialist stone baked pizzas, the menu is by no means limited to this. On a Tuesday its 30% off steak night, and enjoy Saturday mornings with the Bateau brekkies. It’s hard to detract from chat of such sumptuous offerings, but a mention must be given to the atmosphere in which Le Bateau have created for your dining pleasure. The rather unorthodox interior provides a setting designed to intrigue. For those looking to make an evening of a tasty meal, Wednesdays you can treat your ears to some local acoustic sounds, and Fridays its happy hour till 7pm. Hungary? Then Le Bateau’s meter long pizza is sure 156 to fill you up.

FLIRT CAFÉ Flirt Café Bar 21 The Triangle Bournemouth BH2 5RG

How often do you get the opportunity to flirt? I can’t say I get all that many opportunities, especially on a Monday morning. So when the opportunity arose, I practically leapt out of my chair. Unsure of what to expect from this glitter ball café twinkling in the sunlight I am delighted to tell you, I loved it. Or rather we loved it. Flirt café is the personification of owner Peter. As soon as I met him, I knew this was his café. Colourful, wondrous and unique. Having been told to try the bubble tea, a few of us opted to sample a variety of flavour combinations. None of us anticipated the juice explosion that was to occur seconds after sipping. Pearls of juice sunken in fruit juice quickly pass through a rather large straw and then burst in your mouth. A little weird, yes, but try it, I promise it won’t disappoint. Peter was kind enough to take a little time to share with us his and his partner’s tale of inventing the chocolate bar milkshake. Having been previous owners of a chain of milkshake shops, Flirt now stocks a variety of bubble tea, milkshakes and smoothies all under one roof. I’m making Flirt my one stop shop. Nachos caught the eye of most of the House team so a sharing platter of nachos was ordered to accompany each of our chosen meals. Wraps, jacket potatoes and salads quickly filled the table. Those favorite fillers of ham and cheese, tuna mayo and prawn are still on the list of choices, but Flirt certainly does not limit you by choice. Think goat’s cheese, pastrami,

Brie, hummus, sweet chilli, avocado. Am I making you hungry? I’m making myself hungry! What I particularly liked about Flirt was the salad bar. Salad bars often can be quite boring. I am a big salad fan, however Flirt kept me entertained. Not one, but three types of potato salad were on offer, my personal love sugar snap peas, and numerous dressings. To accompany your salad a helping of cheese, ham, tuna etc. was available on request and the portions are healthy. In fact I had a rather generous portion and was offering up my tuna to everyone else. The atmosphere is laid back with board games available to play, open mic sessions and the welcome of bands once a month. What stunned me was the popularity of Flirt’s Tuesday quiz night. Such a popular event that it was mentioned there is a 6-week waiting list. If you’re any good at quizzes then you’d best get yourself signed up now. Feeling full and satisfied the House team were about to make a move when the pièce de résistance made its way to our table, sticky toffee pudding. As part of Flirt’s new winter warmer menu they are giving you the choice of some of those home baked delights. Bread pudding, jam roly-poly all homemade, and not forgetting the custard. So with our suddenly not so full stomachs, spoons started diving into dessert. This sweet sticky pudding laced with macadamia nuts and oozing in syrup, need I say more, was just scrummy.

Before I head out for a second helping of pudding, or perhaps I shall try the jam roly-poly, a mention must be given to the staff. Every member was attentive, well presented and more importantly happy to be there. So next time you wake up maybe feeling delicate from Friday’s night out I recommend you make a stop at Flirt, after all they do an all day breakfast.

In the Gardens of Light you’ll find light pods created by award-winning designer Michael Grubb, along with an outdoor ice rink and cafe bar. Plus Santa will be in the Bandstand along with his elves every day up until Christmas Eve.

27TH NOVEMBER POOLE PARK Poole Park’s revamped attraction, The Ark, unveils its Christmas extravaganza. The cricket pavilion will be turned into a winter log cabin, which will be home to Father Christmas and his elves until Christmas Eve. The Christmas event costs £12 per child and booking is essential.

There is also a great range of light bites, sandwiches and sharing platters and some lovely fresh Susan, a young girl who dreams of a father and brother to make her family whole, and Kris Kringle, a kindly old bearded man who claims he is the real Santa Claus. When employed as a Santa at a department store grotto, Kris quickly spreads a wave of love through New York City - but can he help make Susan’s wish come true? This dazzling musical adaptation is an uplifting family tale of battling cynicism and learning what it truly means to believe.
