Stuart Vicary is the head of retail for the Peaks Lane operation, having returned to his home town after a high-profile career with Tesco. The hospice is seeking to double the number of shops in its portfolio, while expanding into online retail as the continuous fundraising requirement is set to step up. Mr Vicary said: “My background is in retail, from being a teenager when I started out pushing trolleys in the old Tesco on Osbourne Street in Grimsby. “After a two-year spell there I moved to work as a commercial trainee with Marks & Spencer before rejoining Tesco in 1990 as a retail management trainee in Scunthorpe.” He remained with the company until last spring, taking redundancy. “My plan was to have an extended break and enjoy a well-earned rest, however, just as I was settling into the routine of washing, drying, vacuuming, gardening and car cleaning the role at St Andrew’s Hospice was advertised and I joined the team determined to use every bit of my experience to try to make every day count. “The first six months have been amazing and I am so grateful for how welcome the team here have made me feel. I’m still in awe of the work that goes on here every day and that drives me to do the very best for the hospice. “We now have a clearly defined retail strategy which will see us double the number of shops we operate over the next three years. We will also be launching an online business later this year too. My role here is to define and implement our retail strategy as well as coaching the retail team to improve our shops, look after our volunteers and customers and to increase the revenue we make for the hospice. This is certainly a great challenge.” One particular element is

recruiting enough volunteers to help the expanded operation, as well as filling management vacancies. “Achieving this will give us the structure and capability to double the number of shops we have and provide vital funds for the hospice to continue to provide the amazing care in does in our local community. As well as people to work with us we are always looking for things to sell.” Mr Vicary’s first management position came as dairy manager at Tesco Cleethorpes when it first opened, moving to Stoke on Trent and then to North Wales before a first store manager position in Stockport. He led several others, including opening Doncaster Extra and Irlam Extra in Greater Manchester. “My parents still have the photograph on opening day in Doncaster with Paul Hudson and I cutting the ribbon being watched by them and my two children in the background,” Mr Vicary said with another memory from his earlier days also dominating: “Working as the store manager of the Tesco Metro on Market Street in central Manchester was certainly an experience I will never forget, however it gave me lots of valuable experience
very quickly,” he said. Other roles included working in the property department at Tesco HQ in Cheshunt, and two years with the team that set up Tesco Direct, the online non-food business. For volunteering and fundraising opportunities, call 01472 350908 or visit www.standrewshospice.com

ORE than 50 acres of strategic development land has been brought to market, having been included in the latest round of enterprise zone allocations.
The Brocklesby Estate has instructed PPH Commercial to open up a large site at the eastern entrance to Port of Immingham. Close to the A180, off Kings Road and Queens Road, it is one of the six strategic sites that forms part of the wider South Humber Industrial Infrastructure Programme, a £30 million project to provide a large scale economic stimulant, led by North East

Tree-mendous
opportunity as village grows
RISING demand for housing in Tetney is being toasted. The popular village has earmarked a requirement for a total of 250 new homes in the next decade as part of its Neighbourhood Development Plan. Each village in East Lindsey was invited to come up with their own map for future development. It comes as North East Lincolnshire and North Lincolnshire also look to accelerate home building, with Grimsby West and Lincolnshire Lakes headline-grabbing announcements. Businessman and Lincolnshire county
councillor, Tony Bridges, gained planning approval for five executive detached homes and three luxury apartments on a fully serviced 1.5 acre plot next to the former Stables restaurant, on Holton Road. The Stables Mews land for development was formerly part used commercially for weddings, on a paddock, with a car park for the restaurant. There is a public footpath to the village at the back of the site, adjoining riding stables. Mr Bridges who runs a TV and video production company, said he is seeking a developer able to start work on the homes and apartments this year to make his vision
become a reality. He said the “high quality” apartments along with the executive homes sited on the edge of Tetney would be “very private”. He added: “There is genuine need. “Tetney is a very nice place to live. There are straight links by road to the Humber Bank as well as businesses in Grimsby and Cleethorpes. He said Tetney had retained its character well. Mr Bridges’ father, the late William Arthur Bridges MBE, a renowned trawler skipper, planted all the fruit trees bordering the development land.
on a local, regional and national basis. In particular North East Lincolnshire Council’s economic development unit have been particularly helpful and we will be working with them in relation to inward investment enquiries and hope that the site will offer significant employment gains in the near future.”

The first two storeys of the modular build are now being fitted out on site, ahead of the arrival of the second and third floors next month.

Delivered by Nightel, the company set up by Paul Green six years ago, initially exclusively for BP’s offshore work, it is a step into the general hotel and leisure market for the company, that has seen great success with a sector specific approach. “Demand is definitely there. Midweek we could fill three hotels,” said Sam Cook, manager of the expanded existing hotel that has proven beyond any doubt the necessity. “It has been fabulous. We opened for BP with 82 guests from day one.” It isn’t only the bespoke facilities, but the service provided too. All catering and laundry needs can be looked after, either at the wish of the client or the individual guest.

And the new home has brought workplace fun to the fore for the creative team, taking advantage of the extra floor, and air space! The company, in its 21st year of web creation and development, has taken a unit at E-Factorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Enterprise Village on Grimsbyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Prince Albert Gardens, saying goodbye to Olympic House in Laceby, where it had shared with landlord OceanBlue Logistics. Liam Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Leary, creative director, said: â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have seen a growth in the work we are doing, and it is planned growth. We are getting bigger and better clients and better known in the industry, and locally. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve grown a lot over the last 12 months, in fact weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve doubled in size to eight full time â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; members. All of these extra mouths also needed extra space to work, play and relax after a long week sat at a desk pushing buttons! â&#x20AC;&#x153;The previous office, in Laceby, was just a single studio room and was obviously becoming very cramped, especially when clients came to visit. Telephones buzzing, computers humming and developers talking in different languages meant the noise in a single room was becoming a distracting and difficult place to work. As we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the option to increase the space in Laceby we opted to start looking for a new home.â&#x20AC;? That search began in October, three years on from the move to Laceby Business Park, from Grimsbyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Town Hall Street. They found private landlords in the Grimsby area didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the best offering, with broadband â&#x20AC;&#x153;almost always becoming an issue at some of the older propertiesâ&#x20AC;?. Of the new location, he said: â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was E-Factor who eventually helped us find such a great space. The Enterprise Village was purpose built to help local businesses grow and develop with a range of office spaces and business support, all in one place. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to give a special thanks to Tony (Parkinson) and Natalie (Cresswell) at E-Factor for helping us find and successfully move into our new home. The new office is four times the size of the previous studio, at 2,000 sq ft. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We found it just before Christmas, got the keys and moved in the second week of January. Now after a few weeks of finishing touches and Ikea deliveries weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re finally ready to unveil our new HEAD ROOM: Laser Redâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new office at E-Factorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Enterprise Village, Prince Albert Gardens, Grimsby.

We have two separate meeting rooms, our own kitchen and storeroom as well as a 1,000 sq ft open plan industrial floor space thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more than big enough for us to house the pool table â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a long awaited addition â&#x20AC;&#x201C;
and fly our quadcopters! â&#x20AC;&#x153;We now have an office that really reflects our ethos, our values and our team members â&#x20AC;&#x201C; above all, it looks great! We hope to see many of our clients, partners and friends here in the future.â&#x20AC;?

Bathrooms are from MKM’s own Instinct range and have been commissioned to combine outstanding designs with the product quality the company is known for.

LAISTER’S Last Word
BY DAVE LAISTER
DONG Energy’s long-awaited decision to build Hornsea Project One, the first of the Round Three offshore wind farms in our waters, received something of a mixed response this past month. On the face of it, absolute commitment to a world-leading project that has been underway for sometime, first with the SMartWind consortium, then, virtually a year to the day, taken on by our Danish friends. Terrific! While always expected to happen, particularly after the positive vibes that abounded following November’s policy clarification from the Energy Secretary, there seems to remain a slight commitment issue across the industry. When the news filtered out there was definite relief from the sector, the feeling that the industrialisation was arriving. But exactly where, and exactly when, still remains the question, and I sensed that the frustration of such prelonged negotiations is starting to wear thin with those who have invested so much time and energy in it. There’s absolutely no denying that Cleethorpes MP Martin Vickers has been a staunch advocate of the industry in his time in Westminster. But while Grimsby has built up a strong operations and maintenance

hub, and excelled in construction co-ordination, much of which with Dong, as well as Centrica, E.on, Siemens, MHI Vestas and RES, what looked like low-hanging fruits hovering over North Killingholme have still to be picked since the protracted legal argument was finally put to bed. The deep water port, the “big space in the right place” with so much to give, has yet to start hinting at delivery, despite the Memorandum of Understanding with Dong. Offshore wind is bringing two distinctly different opportunities. The first, the day-to-day “looking after” of the turbines, the power station employees if you like, are the long-term jobs that need to be close to the turbines. Here Grimsby sits so well, with ambition to go much further.
The second is the supply chain, which relies on critical mass and low logistics costs, the building of these huge installations. It appears that the location the tower manufacturer chooses is central to a lot of this, being the hardest element to move. Let’s now hope that the negotiations ongoing, as hinted by Energy Minister Andrea Leadsom in the slightly surreal adjournment debate much of this angst came out at, will lead to some real benefit for that one dimension of this hugely complex industry. For while Dong’s name is on the farm, it doesn’t build the parts. Hopefully, the commitment now to build will see orders flow, and a realisation that the Humber, and Able Marine Energy Park, is the place to be.
