Ristorante

With its 200 printed chairs with Italian "Famous Faces" (as per its name's English translation), you certainly won't have seen it anywhere else in the UK. Freshly cooked pizzas and pastas is the main focus but Marco CamprorasQ, appointed Head Chef. has added few twists and specialties, and as per Panna's restaurant, our fine Dining Indian. there are two pizza ovens to accommodate both veg and non·vegetarian lovers.

Every dish is cooked fresh from our kitchens by his experience team of Italian chefs. Live cooking of pizzas and pastas is an added feature and will certainly contribute to the ambience of this fresh and elegant eatery. With a private room for up to 80 people, there is ample space to accommodate birthday parties or corporate dinners.

With a strategy to constantly improve and develop our offering, the Directors and Management team at The City Pavilion hope you will all enjoy this new restaurant and look forward to welcoming you very soon. Volti Noti - Open Monday to Sunday 12 noon til 11 pm.

t has become an annual tradition to dedicate January to making amends for the over indulgences which make the festive period, well, festive. Whether or not our current fondness for New Year diets and fitness resolutions are a throwback from a time when making the winter stores last till spring geniunely were a matter of life or death remains undecided. However, this year iN’s annual ‘Body Issue’ seems more topical than ever, as 2012 brings the Olympics, with all its toned, trained and athletic bodies beautiful, practically to our doorstep. It is refreshing to see the body celebrated not just for how good it looks in hot pants but also on its capabilities, strength and fortitude. And it is with all this physicality in mind that I introduce our body worship laden January issue. Things get physical as personal trainer Noel Germishuizen of Total Training System puts me and my glutes through their paces in ‘This Time It’s Personal’. But I am not the only one you will catch training this month, Linzi Pollard of The Kings Oak, High Beach, is currently in training to run the marathon in aid of MACS, The Micro and Anophthalmic Children’s Society. And we find out the deeply personal reason why in our real life story special. Performance wear gets a beautiful make over by Lucas Hugh, the gorgeous sport luxe brand which you will find on both our cover and in our fashion spread. And if, after all that sweat and calorie burning, you find yourself in need of little R and R we also have, my personal favourite feature of the year, our Annual Spa Awards 2012. Right, I am off to dig out my sweat band. Have a fantastic 2012 everybody.

Whoever’s name is read out come awards night, it most certainly won’t be the last time you hear it.

GAVIN AND STACEY... THE MUSICAL – After no Christmas special this year, fans are sure to flock to London’s West End to find out ‘what’s occurring’ with the opening of Gavin and Stacy: The Musical in late 2012. The show is rumoured to feature most original cast members, including James Corden, Ruth Jones and funny-man Rob Brydon. Well lush.

THE KINDLE FIRE – Already having taken the USA by storm, the Kindle Fire offers books, films and music at the touch of a screen and is set to become the iPad’s primarily challenger, having already sold millions in its launch week, the new Kindle shows there is no smoke without fire.

out ARCTIC ROLL – The 1970’s favourite has been removed from four of the UK’s top supermarkets after sales figured turned frosty. The £1 dessert saw a shortlived revival in 2011 after a rise of nostalgic style foods, but it would seem that Britons are now giving the traditional pud the cold shoulder.

SNORING – With over three million regular snorers in the UK alone, Brits are losing an estimated three weeks sleep a year due to their partner’s pesky night time cacophony.

CANDY FLOSS HAIR – As sported by Katy Perry, Amelia Lily and Fearne Cotton, the trend for pink hair seemed to be everywhere last year and was no doubt responsible for a few misuses of mum’s red food colouring. With too many teens thinking pink, trendsetters are now turning to electric blue for an alternative to pasty pastels.

The original Essex style was pioneered by ultimate WAG and Harlow girl, Victoria Beckham. Who introduced the notion to females all over the nation that we must be glamorous both day AND night, and led to swathes of women mimicking footballer's wives for the last fifteen years. he new generation of Essex girls however are taking the ultra glam look to a new, much bigger, level. Big hair and big lashes are the norm and the much-tanned skin tone has practically introduced a new race to our Greater London County. And with the popularity of The Only Way Is Essex, this particular trend has gone global.

bags and outfits that wouldn't be out of place at a (non Essex) wedding. Slick side parting hair styles teamed with cravats and a well pressed suit seem standard.

Essex’s attention to detail was bought to the nation’s awareness by the umber coloured cast of TOWIE. Most people probably didn't believe the levels of sensational glamour until they saw it Of course it’s not only the ladies that have for themselves on the hit ITV2 series. plucked and preened themselves into And we Essex girls are more than happy oblivion - no, Essex's men and boys have to get away from the tacky 'white stiletto' no shame in doing the same, stigma, replacing it instead with a glitter sporting designer flat encrusted pair of Christian Louboutin. caps, man But of course, this being Essex, short skirts are still the uniform.

Words By Caroline Polledri

Lydia won’t think twice about donning a 70’s chic midi dress. There is a danger that with all this over exposure that Essex could lose its identity. If we’re not careful the image that used to separate Essex from the rest of the country will soon be no different from that of Newcastle, Manchester or anywhere else they have a football team. So now more than ever it’s time to embrace this new fashion statement that proves that Essex can re-invent itself as much as the next place. That it is as bold and sexy as it has always been. Because that is, after all what the Essex style has always really been about. in MAGAZINE 13

Welcome to iN’s society column, ‘Girl About Town’ where socialite Caroline Polledri gives her own hilarious take on being out and about in Essex and beyond.

“

I am no fool; I knew that last month was going to be hectic. That every weekend would be booked up with something I wanted/needed to do, but no way did I expect all the days in between to be so busy too! Not that I’m complaining, with my new ‘doing’ rather than ‘waiting’ outlook on life, I was fully aware of what I let myself into when I jumped on that party express. You see, it’s extremely hard to get off once you get used to the momentum. I imagine it a bit like learning to ride a skateboard. The theme this month was food glorious food and it all kicked of my visit to THE most amazing Japanese restaurant in W1 called Kikuchi. The food was divine. If you ever get the chance to go then make sure you book a table at the bar, that way you get to watch the chef prepare everything from scratch, something you don’t want to miss. He can only be described as an artist. Our annual girlie lunch was held at the Hawksmoor in Guildhall and it’s fair to say that my frequenting of that venue will not be as annual as the girlie lunch. It was overpriced, far too noisy and a bit like eating on a bank’s trading floor. On a positive note, the waiters were friendly (and pleasing on the eye) and they served very nice wine. Then on to Smiths Of Spitalfields for post dinner drinks, which was a lot more fun and judging by the food spotted coming out the kitchen, there is a good chance we’ll spend the whole day in there next time. Of course, winter wouldn’t be complete without an ice skating trip to Somerset House. We opted for the ‘Lovebox’ skating experience, which you can imagine went down about as well as we did after copious amounts of wine. This ‘festival on ice’ is the frostier version the summer event of the same name and the music, fashion and street art were just amazing. I have also been spending lots of time in Essex including, lunch at the King William, a crazy night in the Royal Oak and New Year’s Eve at Club 195 for Glamorazzi and Hed Kandi. The girls and I hadn’t seen in a New Year on the dance floor for a while, and it ended up being one of the best NYE’s yet! All this eating and partying has urged me to make some solid and healthy New Year’s resolutions - here are the ones I have made/broken so far:

• •

The joining of Fitness First: Broken - but only because I feel like I’m being bullied by the sales calls. Organize finances: Broken – I just bought a PS3 in the sales. Why? I don’t even have the excuse that I am a 15 year old boy. Not Smoking: Made - And kept!

BEAT THAT FLAB AND MAKE THIS THE YEAR THOSE BODY GOALS COME TRUE WITH THE NEXT GENERATION OF FAT BUSTING TREATMENTS, AS RECOMMENDED BY THE BEAUTY EXPERTS AT PURE MEDI-SPA, SOUTH WOODFORD.

or most of us the New Year is time to kick-start a new healthier lifestyle. And with PURE Medi-Spa there to guide you in all things beauty, you will be well on your way to achieving a body you can be proud of. For those looking to trim down and shift the cellulite, why not try the try the ultimate in body shaping with the Coax Med RF Machine, which helps to smooth out those lumps and bumps all around the body. You may have heard of i Lipo, but this is the next generation in fat busting technology. Not only does the machine help break down the cellulite, but also helps tone and tighten up the skin, helping reduce stretch marks, making it the closest thing to liposuction without actually going under the knife. There are four steps to the treatment. The first stage involves heating the area with infra red light, then targeted ultra sound waves are used to safely break up the fat cells before the deep massage and suction helps push the melted fat to the lymph glands. Radio frequency pulsation is then used to tighten and tone the skin around the target area. The best thing about this treatment is that it can be a lunchtime procedure; at most it will leave you feeling like you have had a heavy workout at the gym - so there is nothing to stop you going about your normal daily activities right away. What is more, because the Coax Med RF Machine can be used on almost any part of the body, it is ideal for those hard to treat areas like the flabby arms, that left over baby bulge, the tops of the hips and backs of thighs, and it can get you closer to achieving that famous Jennifer Lopez bottom. With truly remarkable results achievable, this is the ideal time to book your first appointment.

Treatments are needed every 2 weeks to achieve optimum results.

SMILE DESIGN BY ASH ADVERTORIAL

T: 020 8500 0544 www.smiledesignbyash.co.uk

WITH ASH PARMAR

“

hen people talk about having a good hair day, we all know what they mean. Truth is if you feel that you are looking good, you’re probably feeling good too. Confidence and wellbeing are so interlinked they might as well be the chain on a Chanel handbag. Why, is it then that so many of us harbour insecurities about perhaps the most important part of our appearance – our smile?

Us Brits are famously bad at teeth. You only have to glance at a US satirical cartoon featuring the English to discover exactly what our Atlantic cousins think of the UK’s dental desirability. However there is change afoot for the smiles of the British Isles. Slowly we are learning to take better care of out mouths, gums and teeth and pioneering dentists like Ash Parmar are showing the world just how good our smiles can be. We asked the celebrity dentist, star of TV’s Extreme Makeover and owner of Chigwell’s Smile Design by Ash, how you too can get that perfect smile.

“

LAYING THE GROUNDWORK

THE MOST IMPORTANT FACTOR IN THE APPEARANCE OF YOUR SMILE AND THE SUCCESS OF ANY COSMETIC DENTISTRY IS THE HEALTH OF YOUR MOUTH. So many people don’t go to the dentist or hygienist regularly. Meaning problems are only dealt with once they have become problems. Make sure to see your dentist every 6 months. Flossing is one of the simplest and least expensive ways to improve the general health of your mouth, it prevents plaque build up which in turn prevents decay and gum disease. But for some reason its not common practise over here. Make sure you introduce flossing into your daily routine. At Smile Design by Ash our priority is always the health of the mouth. A healthier mouth makes for better dentistry results, better well being and a more attractive smile. 22 in MAGAZINE

SMILE PACKAGES DEPENDENT ON THE CONDITION OF YOUR TEETH AND MOUTH THERE ARE THREE DIFFERENT COURSES OF ACTION I RECOMMEND FOR ACHIEVING THAT BEAUTIFUL SMILE.

1. BASIC LOW DOWN: Healthy straight teeth with some staining and minor chipping to the edges of the teeth. ACTION: Zoom®! whitening for brighter more healthy looking teeth. Dependent on the client’s needs we offer either at home whitening with our home kits or chair side whitening followed up with at home treatment. And cosmetic contouring – this is my practice’s signature treatment – it involves the artistic, non-surgical, minor reshaping of the teeth, so that the edges of the teeth are smooth and straight.

2. THE MINI MAKEOVER LOW DOWN: Healthy teeth with mild crookedness or slight gaps and of a darker colour. ACTION: Zoom®! whitening, cosmetic contouring, session with the hygienist, use of white fillings to fill in chips and gaps and add length where necessary, to improve the shape of the teeth.

3. THE SMILE MAKEOVER LOW DOWN: The Smile Makeover is the ultimate solution for achieving that perfect smile. This is the ideal for more problem smiles, those with larger gaps, crookedness or severe darkening.

ACTION: Involving

CASE STUDY:

TOWIE TEETH - JAMES 'ARG' ARGENT Arg and the TOWIE crew came to the practice as a part of the filming for the last series. Arg is a lovely guy, we quickly established that he had a problem with enamel erosion as a result of fizzy drink consumption. I recommended a mini makeover, teeth whitening and cosmetic contouring, combined with preventive action against erosion.

ASH'S TOP TIPS SMALL STEPS YOU CAN TAKE TO A BRIGHTER HEALTHIER SMILE Reduce frequency of sugar in take – Everybody knows sugar is bad for teeth. But its effect is worst when sugar intake is continual. So, at least for your teeth, its better to eat that chocolate bar in one rather than spending the day nibbling on gummy bears. Cleaning between teeth – Using floss or mini brushes to clean between teeth can prevent plaque build up and decay between the teeth. Cut out fizzy drinks – The acids in fizzy drinks, even the diet ones, erode the enamel on teeth. So cut out the pop. And if you can't give up the fizzy stuff try drinking it with a straw instead. Clean your tongue – One of the main causes of bad breath is not cleaning the tongue. A plastic tongue cleaner combined with a good mouthwash (e.g. Retardex) will eliminate most cases of bad breath almost instantly. Visit the hygienist regularly. All my other tips you can do yourself, but there is only so much you can do. Visiting the hygienist every 4 to 6 months prevents build up of plaque and contributes to the long term health of your smile.

Stay ROCKLIFFE HALL COUNTY DURHAM Historical country house grandeur meets 21st Centaury facilities at Rockcliffe Hall, winner of the Best New Comer category 2012. Located in the Durham countryside, the recently opened Rockcliffe Hall is flying the flag for the luxury spa retreat in the North East. Boasting one of Europe's longest golf courses, a velvet clad champagne bar, Michelin Stared dining at Kenny Atkinson’s The Orangery and a huge state of the art spa, Rockcliffe Hall impressed us with both its scale and attention to detail. Alongside the 50,000 square foot spa, which includes a hydro-pool, sound-wave therapy beds, comprehensive techno-gym, thermal bathing suite and 20-metre pool with spa butlers to keep you’re glass charged with either champagne and freshly squeezed juices, dependent on how saintly you are feeling, Rockcliffe also has little touches, such as the list of things to do on a rainy day, which mark it out as something particularly special - Which is why we have named it this year's Best New Comer.

Facts.. • • • • •

Rockcliffe Hall dates back to the 18th century and was in part designed by Alfred Waterhouse, the same architect as London’s spectacular Natural History Museum. Darlington is reachable directly by trains from London Kings Cross in under 2hrs 30mins. The spa offers a comprehensive range of packages from the indulgent to the energetic. With Nordic Walking being a particular must. Located between the villages of Croft and Hurworth-on-Tees, Rockliffe's location is perfect for exploring the North East, with both Durham City and the coast within easy reach.

We stayed in the Forrester room which is one of Rockcliffe Hall’s superior doubles, each of which is individually decorated with the hall's history in mind. Located in the Old Hall, our room was intoxicatingly plush, and came complete with beautiful views across the countryside, a huge marble clad bathroom and one exceedingly large and comfortable king sized bed.

Eat Rockcliffe Hall offers a range of dining options but the star of the show must be Michelin Starred Chef Kenny Atkinson’s The Orangery. The fully restored Victorian glass house with views across the Durham countryside makes for a dramatic setting for local-boydone-good Kenny Atkinson’s, best known for his winning starter on TV’s Great British Menu, rather fine cookery. The only element which lets The Orangery is its rather uptight atmosphere, which seems to affect both diners and staff alike. No doubt a symptom of both location and its newly established status, and it is the only sour note to what is otherwise an excellent restaurant.

CHI YU - LONDON Located just around the corner from Selfridges and Bond Street, Chi Yu Japanese wellness clinic offers a welcome respite for the hordes of sale shoppers. Taking a holistic view of health and beauty, the well being begins with the delicious cup of genmaicha tea (green tea flavoured with toasted rice) which is served while you wait. Chi Yu’s signature Chidoriya Japanese Facial draws inspiration from the beauty regimes of the Japanese geisha, who know a thing or two about beautiful skin, to relax, restore and rejuvenate. Using Chidoriya Japanese Skin care products in combination with spa’s bespoke Matcha green tea mask and organic facial oils which are chosen on your particular skins needs, facial massage and jade stone rollers, this was one of the best facials we have yet to experience. What is more, unlike most facials where the skin is left pink and greasy after treatment, you leave Chi Yu looking fresh faced and peachy. What also impressed the judges was the comprehensive approach to aftercare, following our treatment we were taken through, in depth, the ways in which we could take better care of our skin and bodies. www.chi-yu.co.uk

THE SIX SENSE SPA BARBAROS BAY Located on Turkey’s Aegean coastline the Six Senses Spa at The Kempinski Hotel is the winner of this year’s Best Over Seas Spa Award. The Six Senses Spa impressed the judges with its turquoise infinity pools, holistic approach and the jaw dropping views of the Aegean which make a welcome accompaniment the spa’s yoga sessions. What, however, convinced the judges to name The Six Senses Spa top of its category was its detox programme. The combination of green smoothies, personal training, yoga, pilates, cleansing spa treatments (including the utterly superb detoxing algae wrap) and five star accommodation, makes detoxing a pleasure rather than an annual chore and is the ideal kick-start to any New Year healthy living resolutions. www.kempinski.com in MAGAZINE 27

Stay RESIDENTIAL RETREAT BOOTCAMP - LOUGHTON Winner of 2012’s Best Bootcamp Award is the Loughton based Residential Retreat, which offers a welcome alternative to the ordinary weight loss and fitness bootcamp. Far from the militaristic, no frills, bunk beds and dinner in the mess, experience offered by most bootcamps, Residential Retreat recognises that after a long day of pilates, yoga, spinning, zumba, aerobics, stretching, core work, cycling and four hours of bootcamp training including kick boxing, kettle bells, scramble nets and much more, a few home comforts is exactly what most people need. Which is why the accommodation at Residential Retreat is designed as a home away from home, with fluffy robes and comfy sofas a plenty. Only with the added advantage of a beauty and pamper centre on site and nutritionist guided wholesome and homemade meals on the table. It is this combination of homeliness and hard work, its comprehensive weight loss and fitness programs and the fact that they offer tailor-made packages for events and special occasions, that has marked Residential Retreat out as the clear winner of 2012’s Best Bootcamp.

Treatment For the ultimate in what The Scarlet has to offer opt for one of it's ten spa journeys. Lasting four hours and including a seaweed bath out on the cliffs, meditation and massage, we recommend the 'Restore' journey as the perfect antithesis to busy, stressful and modern living

Stay THE SCARLET CORNWALL This year's 'Best Spa' award goes to The Scarlet in Cornwall. Fighting off stiff competition from across the UK, the luxury eco escape so impressed the judges that they said of all the spas they have ever visited this was the best they had ever seen. From its dramatic cliff top location over looking the Cornish waves, The Scarlet is a contemporary temple of adult only tranquility. The beautifully designed spa, with its cocoon like, nap ideal, hanging pods and its outdoor log burning seaweed baths looking out across the ocean, has something almost magical about it. And because it is The Scarlet, everything from the architecture to the choice of products used in the treatments is done with sustainability in mind. For its calming affect, green credentials and fantastic design, The Scarlet is iN Magazine's Best Spa 2012.

The Scarlet is 5 minutes from Newquay airport which has direct flights from London Gatwick. There are direct trains from London Paddington to Bodmin Parkway (25 minute drive from the hotel, enabling you to leave direct from work (albeit a little early) to catch the 4pm train and be at The Scarlet in time for dinner overlooking the ocean. The Scarlet Spa’s focus is on wellbeing, with relaxation being paramount. Alongside the famous deep relaxation pods, there is also a big squishy relaxation space where ideal for unwinding to the soundtrack of waves crashing on the beach below. The Scarlet Spa offers complimentary meditation classes at 3pm each day. For more details see: www.scarlethotel.co.uk

The Scarlet has 37 rooms arranged across five levels in order to make the most of the remarkable vantage point. Each of the contemporarily designed bedrooms boasts its own individual outdoor space. Ranging in size from 'just right' to 'indulgent', we fell for our 'unique' room each of which has its own private roof top lounge or pod with spectacular ocean views, accessed via a spiral staircase.

Eat Dining at The Scarlet is a surprisingly unpretentious affair. Focusing on great, in the most part locally sourced, ingredients, the select menu of simple, bold and punchy dishes, suit the atmosphere of The Scarlet down to the ground. Breakfast and lunch are relaxed affairs with dinner being (very) slightly more formal. Don’t expect a great deal of choice, a menu of four or so dishes per course is the norm, but with spring choices like roast sea bass with nettle gnocchi, purple sprouting broccoli and olive dressing and wild mushroom pie, truffle oil mash, roasted beets and young leeks, any more would be superfluous. The restaurant also has the option of dining at the large sharing table, perfect for guests travelling alone or those just of a more gregarious nature. in MAGAZINE 29

in search of the body beautiful in’s editor Rose keen signs up with personal trainer noel germishuizen of Total Training systems.

y decision to get fit and sort my body out happened about two years ago and coincided with the break up with my then boyfriend. Most women cut a man out of their hair; I cut him out of my diet. Previously to that I was never exactly what you would call sporty, a bit of hockey at school and a stint of rugby at uni was basically my entire fitness CV. But after my healthy conversion I decided to change all that, I started running, signed up to the gym and even did a few yoga classes (though I never could get the breathing right). However, though I am definitely fitter than I was before, I didn’t know enough in order to reach the physical goals I wanted to achieve. Which is where the charming, South African Noel Germishuizen of Total Training Systems, South Woodford, comes in. Noel is an expert in helping people achieve their fitness goals. The ethos behind Total Training Systems is versatility, education and encouragement. Noel’s warm and affable manner could not be further from the militant ‘drop and give me 20’ stereotype of a personal trainer. It is this unique combination and flexibility which has allowed Noel to train both elite athletes and post natal mums with success. So I was keen to discover what he would suggest for a well meaning if uninformed, rather clumsy, gym bunny like myself. Total Training Systems offers a full body analysis before you start training, giving you an accurate picture of your fat percentage, hydration levels and BMI. Though as Noel points out the

first two are really the significant ones. I am happy to hear that my body fat percentage is good, though I could do with drinking a little more water – which if I am honest, is something I already suspected. Having discussed my targets (work out more effectively, and avoid injury) and current fitness routine Noel tailors our first session around my needs. The first session could be described as a ‘getting to know you’ – accessing my strengths, weakness and any bad habits I may have fallen into and takes place in the company’s new studio in South Woodford.

an injury waiting to happen. However after a brief lesson from Noel in how to use what muscles in what order, I am soon working those ‘gluts’ correctly. The hour session flies by as Noel takes me through a series of in studio exercises making friendly and easily understandable suggestions on how to correct my stance or get that little bit more out of a stretch.

our first session took place in the Total Training systems studio but noel offers sessions both in the home and out in the great outdoors, making the most of having so much parkland and epping forest on the door step. Offering outdoor circuit training, bells, TRX, power bags, speed ladder and Noel’s personal passion, and suspect favourite, getting out on the bikes. I can say I genuinely enjoyed my session with Noel, and even through the aches in my gluts the next day, I can say I am genuinely looking forward to the next time. Body beautiful, here I come!

First up firing patterns. Firing patterns are essentially the order in which your muscles engage whilst performing a particular exercise. The correct firing pattern means you are doing the exercise right, the incorrect firing pattern means other muscles are compensating and you are essentially an injury waiting to happen.

Linzi & Calum

Calum Jensen Boyle is a special little boy. All babies of course are special. But Calum is extra special – he is a beautiful, cherished baby boy who was born with no eyes. Like all new parents, his mum and dad* made plans and they shared dreams. They chose not to know if they would be blessed with a boy or a girl, wanting the surprise to add to the special magic only a first baby can bring. Little did they know their joy would be shattered just a few short hours after their precious baby’s arrival. alum was born on St. Georges Day, April 23rd 2011. The birth went well and exactly as planned. The whole family had gathered at the hospital in Farnborough Kent, thrilled and excited, waiting to meet their new grandchild – the first for both sides of the family. When the moment arrived, there were tears of joy and texts of jubilation sent to family and friends. He was beautiful; he was perfect, content and 32 in MAGAZINE

sleepy. But after five hours Calum was yet to open his eyes. His parents began to feel anxious, even though the midwives reassured them that nothing was wrong. Eventually Calum was taken for a scan which would confirm his devastating diagnosis. The family were stunned. Tears of joy turned into tears of fear and anguish. Inconsolable, Calum’s distraught mummy, shook uncontrollably for ten long minutes. The whole family were heartbroken. Then standing strong, and holding

his baby boy tightly, Calum’s dad spoke to him in a soft whisper,

‘don’t worry my beautiful son... i will be your eyes forever.’ Staff at the hospital were at a loss. The consultant paediatrician, although aware of the condition, had never experienced such a case in thirty years of practice. It was four *Some names have been removed at behest of the family.

could look after him better than her? It was so sad to see them so completely devastated.’ It was around this time that the family began to receive much needed support. Sally Joliffe a Sensory Support Practitioner was introduced to the family to observe Calum’s progress and make suggestions to help with everyday life and constructive play. She will work with the family and Calum until he is 18.

agonising weeks before the family were able to find a consultant who might offer, if not hope, at least a way forward. Calum has Anopthalmia, which literally means ‘without eyes’. It is an extremely rare condition affecting just 1 in 100,000 babies and for which the cause, although thought to be genetic, is unknown. The disorder develops during pregnancy and because the brain forms at the same time as the eyes, children with the condition often suffer additional birth defects. Thankfully, following tests this does not appear to be the case for Calum. His dad burst into tears after receiving the results of the MRI scan, ‘I could never have imagined I would have been so thankful to hear that my son is ONLY blind,’ he cried. Initially Calum was referred to Kings Hospital in London and then onto Great Ormond Street where the family were introduced to Dr Yassir Abou Rayyah, a world renowned specialist in the condition. Calum’s grandmother Linzi said

‘dr abou Rayyah was our salvation. at last we were able to talk to someone who had first-hand knowledge of the condition and was able to be pragmatic.’ Linzi, who is proprietor of The Kings Oak Hotel in High Beach, said ‘Those first months were a truly terrible time. My daughter and son-in-law took Calum home and cut themselves off from everybody. The bottom had fallen out of their world. My darling little girl couldn’t stop crying every time she looked at her baby. At her lowest, terrified she wouldn’t be able to cope, she would ask me if we should give him away, give him to someone who could do better for him than herself. I would just hold her and ask who Words by Sue Lovett

Great Ormond Street and Moorfields, under the guidance of Dr Abu Rayyah, will continue to provide specialist care and support as Calum grows. From the age of 1 month Calum has had to endure procedures to prevent deformity of his eye-line and forehead. Every 4 weeks hydro-gel expanders, like small lentils, were placed beneath his eyelids to ensure that his eye sockets develop normally. His eye lids had to be glued down to keep the expanders in place. Then, in November tiny plastic shells were implanted. This time there was no glue, to encourage the eyelids to open and close, to improve their elasticity in preparation for prosthetic eyes. In January, Calum receives his first set of prosthetic eyes, which will be changed every 6 months, until his rate of growth slows, when he will receive a permanent set of hand painted eyes. Linzi, known to Calum as Ninny, says,

There is much debate in the family as to what colour his eyes should be. dark like his dad’s, or hazel like his mummy. i favour green, like his ninny - that or a pair for every outfit!’ Gradually Calums young parents began to find strength. Linzi explains, ‘In the hospital when Calum was born, despite her pain my daughter spoke to me ‘Mummy, we don’t know now what it is, but he has been given to us for a reason.’ After those awful first months I felt we needed to celebrate his birth. He is beautiful and he is ours. I had been looking on the internet, searching the web for cases like Calum’s and it was there that I found MACS, a charity formed by parents of children with conditions like his. I encouraged my daughter to get in touch and, although reluctant at first, she did and they became a life saver for her.’ MACS, The Micro and Anophthalmic Children’s Society, was formed in 1993. With members all over the world, the charity’s main focus is to provide support and a range of related services to affected families. It is run entirely by volunteer families who know just what it is that their members need. ‘It’s invaluable,’ Linzi says, ‘to be able to talk to others who understand what you are going

through because they have been there themselves. My daughter now has friends all over the world who she can turn to for advice, who she can talk to not only about her fears for Calum’s future but about practical problems too. She’s thrown herself completely in.’ So has Linzi. On April 22nd, the day before Calum’s 1st birthday, Linzi will be running in the London Marathon to raise funds for MACS. And over the next year the Kings Oak are hosting a number of events to support the charity too. Linzi says,

‘Training for the marathon is so dreadful that i plan to make the fundraising fun!’

Even now Calum’s mummy is unable to say to people that her son was born with no eyes. If asked, she will just say ‘there is a problem with his eyes.’ However, as parents they have managed to pull themselves back from a terrible place in their young lives to forge a positive future for their gorgeous son. Linzi says of her daughter, ‘I am so proud of her. I asked her recently if she was still sad and she said that she will be sad for Calum forever, but it is now her job to bring colour and light to his world. She takes him to Baby Sensory Classes and Baby Yoga and generally nurtures him to do all he can. I myself agree, we hate to think of him in his dark little world, and we are all on a mission to teach him to be strong, sassy and determined to live his life to the fullest.’

Please join Linzi and the team at the Kings Oak Hotel in High Beach to help Calum and others like him. Details of upcoming events can be found on www.kingsoakhotel.com or by calling 020 8508 5000.

Brief

With... Jason Werth, Managing Director of Greenwerth, the company behind motoring’s latest craze - Lashes4Cars. iN: Hi Jason, tell us a bit about what you do? JW: I do a lot of different things really. I am a chartered surveyor, a commercial property investor and have a high profile property agency which advises clients on buying and selling commercial property. In 2009 I decided to sell my property company as cracks were appearing in the market and I predicted it was going to get a lot worse. But most recently I have launched Lashes4Cars with my business partner Alan Green. iN: From property to novelties, that’s quite a change... JW: I had always liked retail and design, and so with Alan’s expertise in gifts we hit upon the idea of creating a novelty accessory for the automobile market. iN: Why lashes4cars? JW: We played around with different facial features - noses, ears, eyebrows, before settling on lashes. We wanted something fun and different, and we seem to have started something of a craze. The design of the product is unique to our company, as we have a double layer of lashes, we manufacture it, wholesale it and retail it on through our website. iN: What’s your favourite bit of your job? JW: Ha ha, that’s like asking me to choose my favourite food or movie... I suppose a satisfied customer, I love getting positive feedback for our product and business. iN:

On the subject of favourite foods, where do you like to eat out? JW: Ha, I knew that would be the next question. I would have to say Wagamamas for its chicken katsu. For me it beats The Ivy. iN:

As it’s the January issue, have you made any New Year resolutions? JW: Erm, to eat less probably! But from a business point of view, 2012 has some great things in store for Greenwerth. We are currently working on our next item and are in the middle of a deal which will see Lashes4Cars in stores nationwide.

oodford’s brilliant basement champagne and wine bar The Vault has extended its horizons from champagne and little dishes to a menu rich in comfort and beef, with the launch of their new restaurant area, simply named The Grill.

he bar grill combinations has been having a welcome renaissance in recent times. Perhaps it is due to the current economic situation driving people to seek out comfort and quality over bells and whistles or maybe because you just can’t beat a classic, but more and more diners are seeking out the hearty pleasure of an excellent cut cooked to perfection. Either way meat has never been more fashionable. Particularly when combined with equally excellent booze cellar, which of course The Vault most certainly does. Starters consist of a healthy mix of shellfish and game dishes, most with a pan-Asian inspired twist. The Grill’s rock oysters are served with a tangy slightly spicy Vietnamese dressing. The Grill’s signature starter is a modern take on the classic carpaccio, in the form wagyu beef served with reggiano parmesan and rocket salad. The earthy flavours of the beef combine elegantly with dairy sharpness of the cheese to create something worthy of the luxury meat. However the main event of the menu is undoubtedly the steaks. Offering five beautiful cuts of 21 day hung beautiful beef, cooked over a char grill, the thought alone is enough to get the belly rumbling. Served medium rare we cut through our sirloin’s smoky char grilled exterior to reveal the luxurious, melt in the mouth, pink red centre. The steak was impressive, flavoursome, tender and large. This is the sort of food that makes the January temperatures almost desirable, if only for the pleasure of getting in from cold and sitting down in front of a dish like this. However the menu doesn't stop at the bovine, with both fish and fowl making appearances. The grilled tuna steak with fennel and lime is fragrant and meaty, whilst the Thai southern style grilled baby poussin gives a fresh twist to delicate white meat.

The sides prove equal to the mains. Potatoes are, and ever have been the accompaniment of choice to an excellent steak, and at The Grill there is no shortage of choice in how one takes the starchy tuber, coming as it does in three forms – creamed, cut into fat chips or grilled on a skewer. The fat cut chips are excellent being fluffy on the inside with a lovely amount of crunch on the exterior, and are just the thing for mopping up those wonderful steak juices. Because believe us when we say you won’t want to miss a bite. Our personal favourite though was the less traditional char grilled new potatoes on skewers, which were very nice indeed. Not to leave out the greens The Grill also offers a pleasant variety of veg, amongst which the radicchio, cos and endive salad with palm sugar vinaigrette is particularly excellent. To wash down all this thoroughly wonderful cooking The Grill at The Vault Champagne and Wine Bar has a large and brilliant wine list. As in the New York style of grill house there is also a choice of cocktails to accompany your steak. The atmosphere of The Vault Champagne and Wine Bar is that of indulgent comfort. It’s lively and luxurious and feels very much like the sort of venue that one might stop for a drink and stay for the evening, particularly if you were to catch sight or smell of any of the dishes leaving The Grill’s kitchen.

Navin Iyapah & Darrell Privett

One year on from its purchase iN’s Rose Keen catches up with the brains behind Loughton’s hottest luxury night club, the appropriately named LuXe.

f you were lucky enough to have been one of the glamorous crowd that got to attend LuXe’s grand opening last year it is unlikely to a be a night you forgot, in spite of the plentiful and free flowing champagne. Filled to the rafters with the cool and beautiful people of Essex and beyond, it was one of the most talked about launches of the year, for all the right reasons. And I have it on good authority that, that was not a one off - it not being an uncommon sight in Loughton on a Saturday night to see crowds of hip young glamorous things queuing literally round the corner to get into the gilded venue. This must be a welcome sight for proprietor Navin Iyapah, who had to face his fair share of naysayers, when he first set out his plan to transform the corner venue into one of the area’s leading night spots. It is fair to say that the High Road address’ previous incarnations, Crystal Lounge and Minx, had a well deserved reputation.

‘I had people telling me that this location would never work.That the reputation was too bad.’ Navin tells me as I sit down with him and his General Manager Darrell Privett. Together the handsome pair have over 28 years of experience in the nightclub industry, so it is fair to say they know their stuff. Something that is apparent from the brand image and marketing employed by LuXe. Everything from the name to the black and gold colour scheme to the ‘velvet room’ for VIPs, suggests decadence and indulgence. The sort of place where it seems only natural that you should be drinking champagne on the dance floor. I ask Navin if he had a firm idea of

what he envisioned LuXe to be from the beginning?

‘The gold theme has been a part of the LuXe concept from day dot. We wanted to change people’s conceptions about the place. After all this is a great location.’ ‘Here we are’ Darrell continues ‘on the best high street in Essex – we’ve got ourselves, NuBar, Zee & Co, White Bull Brassiere, 15 York Hill, Bella Soiree to name but a few. Loughton has a lot to offer and it’s about getting people to realise that. Which is why we try to promote not just ourselves but Loughton as a whole with our marketing.’ One thing that has certainly influenced LuXe’s exposure in the media is its popularity with the TOWIE cast. I ask them how they feel about their association with the show? ‘Overwhelmingly positive’ they tell me, as I am given a much sort after glimpse inside LuXe’s velvet clad VIP lounge, ‘we are friends with some of the TOWIE guys and its great when they come down.’ However don’t mistake of believing that LuXe is just about giving the tourists a TOWIE safari. Both Darrell and Navin take the business of your good night very seriously. Especially when it comes to music, Darrell’s forte. Darrell, who started off in the clubbing

industry at the tender, and possibly illegal, young age of 15 as a DJ, has one driving passion in life and that is music. Amongst his past employments you will find listed amongst a myriad of other tuneful achievements, a period in which he was even a schools music teacher. You can just imagine the kids loving having a teacher as cool as Darrell.

‘Music is so important to the success of a night. You can have a brilliant venue, but if you’re playing the wrong stuff, it will be empty.’ Darrell tells me ‘I oversee the DJs we have at LuXe, and even DJ myself on occasion. A lot of the people you will find behind the decks at LuXe are not necessarily big names, though we’ve had some of the Kiss FM crew in, but what they are is big talent.’ Talent is something LuXe has no shortage of; both in terms of image, marketing, music and sheer fun it seems to be hitting every bull’s eye. As I say my goodbyes to the guys, one thing Navin said stays with me. ‘I want LuXe to be iconic’ and just over a year since he first purchased the venue he seems well on his way to making that wish a reality.

TREVOR LAKE IS... THE BUSINESS DOCTOR My company has a number of people who carry out work for it. Some are self-employed freelancers and some are employed. Whilst they carry out different tasks for me and are under different contracts I am concerned that if I had a PAYE inspection HM Revenue and Customs may not agree with how I am set up and this will cost me a substantial sum of money.

“

Every month the LB Group experts answer your burning financial questions so that you don’t get burnt in the pocket.

Whether someone is an employee or not is an issue that has always been contentious with HM Revenue and Customs. There is a very real financial impact of the different tax and legal treatment if someone is treated as an employee or a contractor. An employer must operate the PAYE system for employees’ income tax and also pay employer’s National Insurance Contributions on their earnings above the earnings threshold at 13.8%. Whereas a business that engages someone that is genuinely self-employed does not have to concern themselves with the individual’s own tax or National Insurance. An employee also has statutory rights regarding minimum pay, dismissal, holiday etc. Over the years factors that are considered when determining someone’s employment status have been highlighted by case law and HM Revenue and Customs. Such as: The degree of control exerted to establish that the employee has a boss. Can the person substitute someone else to do the work? Does the individual bear any financial risk in the work they do? Do they have the opportunity to maximise the profitability of the work they do? Is the individual paid by results or for the time he works? Does the individual provide their own equipment and materials? Although no one factor is usually decisive, the option to appoint a substitute worker is a strong sign that the arrangement is not one of employment. It is important to note that a recent court case set out that an express term in a contract (which may be one of the factors noted above) can be disregarded if in practice this does not represent the true arrangement. For a business using contractors they should consider ensuring that they are used through the contractor’s own company. This makes it more unlikely that the arrangement could constitute employment. In what is a very complex and ‘grey area’ that can prove to be very costly if poorly set up professional advice on the matter would be advisable.
