Hello and welcome to the June edition of LINK-Magazine! Are we feeling patriotic? One has no royal need for the plug of the Queen’s Jubilee on 5 June. I hope, like us at LINK Towers, you are attending some of the big events in the area to celebrate the occasion. While you have your bunting out, don’t forget the Queen’s official birthday on 9 June, followed by Prince Phillip’s the day after. And let your old man have a lie in on Sunday 17 June – it’s Father’s Day. Maybe there’s something inside this month’s edition that you’ll be able to reward the world’s greatest dad with! Our BRAND NEW business index launches in this edition too. Designed to help you quickly and simply find the business you’re looking for at a glance, it can be found near the back of the magazine just inside from the classified pages. We’re a friendly bunch here at LINK Towers and we’re always open to new concepts, so if you have an idea that might help us improve get in touch. It’s YOUR magazine, you know! Congratulations to the winners of last month’s competitions. Diane MeGreevy won our Where Am I? Competition, so well done - £50 is on its way to you! Also, Steve Burlinson Electrical Services in Thornton won the James Jackson WIN Your MOT draw. A pat on the back to you both!

“DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER”…… ….. occasionally with a superb ruby!
Over the centuries, gold and diamonds have been seen as something to mark special occasions, such as engagements, weddings, birthday presents and by some they are a seen as a sound investment for the future, particularly when stock markets cannot to be relied upon for good returns. We all know how gold has shot up in value and it is interesting to note that diamonds , particularly diamond rings,are also fetching good prices. The key thing with diamonds however is the quality in terms of clarity, colour and cut etc. The pictures on this page illustrate three different diamond rings sold at Gerrards Auction Rooms, in recent months – one with superb ruby. So, if you have a good looking diamond ring, that has been lurking in a drawer or jewellery box, for many years, why not bring it to Gerrards to see what it might be worth – you may be pleasantly surprised.

Look back to 1947, and you will see a dramatic rise in the birth rate and this baby boom means that in 2012 some 2,200 people each day will turn 65. It is vital that these people maximise their retirement income. If these people have saved into a pension, either via a work pension scheme or on their own via a personal pension plan they will get an offer from their current provider just before, the provider anticipates that they are due to retire and this quote will show an income which they guarantee to pay in exchange for the money that the individual has saved. Matthew Berry of Berry Financial Planning in Bispham urges Fylde Coast residents not to simply accept this offer but to exercise their legal right to shop around known as the ‘open market option’ as recent research has highlighted that by not doing so UK Pensioners are losing £1 billion in income each year. Matthew advises “Over 1000 different medical conditions can be taken into account when assessing pension income and each one can qualify a client for an enhanced annuity, basically more income in

retirement. A recent client was offered £5,229 annual income from his existing provider but by taking into account his high blood pressure and high cholesterol we have boosted this annual income to £6,827, over 30%.” Latest analysis shows 70% of people of retiring age would be entitled to enhanced annuities but only 2% actually apply for them. Matthew highlights that many factors affect annuity rates, not just life expectancy and health “People need to be aware that from 21st December 2012 new EU gender discrimination rules will mean that men and women will have to be offered unisex annuity rates and as statistics show that women live longer HM Treasury has estimated that male annuity rates could fall by as much as 13% and thus it is vital that people get advice about their retirement options”
As you approach retirement, your pension provider will contact you with details of your retirement income. But you don’t have to accept this offer. Berry Financial Planning may get you more income by helping you shop around using the ‘open market option’ with the highest rates for smokers and people with health conditions and on medication. We are Independent and compare annuity rates from the whole of the market.
We are local advisers who will talk you through all your options.
We will provide a personalised quote taking into account your health and even take care of all the paperwork.
Why not see if you could qualify for more income in retirement?

COBA Hair, the brainchild of partners Darren Cooke and Simon Baker, is a completely fresh concept in hair treatment and maintenance. Operating as a ‘hair and scalp clinic’ it offers treatment and advice for the ultimate in healthy hair and scalp, utilising products from the renowned Kerastase range by L’Oreal. COBA has been established for 15 years, and in that time has earned an enviable reputation for client hair care in the northwest, offering the personal attention that many of the larger franchise salons are unable to provide. The COBA innovation is based on a simple premise: they will prescribe an ongoing programme designed specifically for the individual client to promote beautiful and healthy hair and scalp. Stunning cuts and styles from leading stylists Darren and Simon combined with a commitment to long-term hair and scalp health ensure a devoted customer base.
With the hectic pace of modern life there never seems time to truly care for our hair, but COBA’s ritual-based aspect of hair care ensures complete client satisfaction. Based on Beechwood Drive, Thorton-Cleveleys, COBA Hair’s salon is sleek, unique and relaxing. And its rituals include the Express Nourishing Ritual, combining instant results with long-lasting nutrition, several Intense Nourishing Rituals, Smoothing Rituals, designed to nourish and soften dry hair leaving it smooth and easy to manage, and much more. Furthermore, visit www.shop.cobahair.co.uk for fresh ideas in hair styling, state-of-the-art treatments and a commitment to hair and scalp care – the very foundations of COBA. Their unique fusion of expertise, imagination and service takes hair care to a new level, and in their online shop you’ll find the same products they use in their salon.
A new, purpose-build Kerastase Spa offers clients quiet detachment from the main salon area for a spot of pampering and regenerating hair and scalp therapy or head massage.
