WORDS BY

CHRISTINE TONER

Over the past 10 years Liverpool has been transformed from a city with an illustrious past but somewhat lacklustre present to a leading city in the UK with a bright future. With the Echo Arena, Liverpool ONE and the Metquarter just three standout additions to the city centre and events like the River Festival bringing glory to the city once again it seems the only way is up for Liverpool. With cupid doing the rounds and Valentine’s fever taking over we asked some of the biggest names in Liverpool property and business to tell us what they love most about the city.

HOT TOPIC Bob Prattey Chief executive of Arena and Convention Centre (ACC) Liverpool “Liverpool waterfront is one of the jewels in this city's crown and we should all be proud of it. When I first came to Liverpool to begin the task of setting up the ACC in 2005, I knew that we were embarking on an exciting project, which would help accelerate the regeneration of the city. I was quietly confident that we would be successful, thanks to our stunning location, our facilities and our wider city offering, which will be enhanced further when our new exhibition centre opens. Pride binds the city together and I'm continuously impressed at how many different groups come together and work as a team to promote Liverpool as a world-class destination.”

Jen Brown North West regional sales manager, Keepmoat Homes “I love Liverpool because of its character and characters. It is a city that has helped shape Britain and influenced the world through its trade links.

Stunning architecture reveals the prosperity it has enjoyed but there have been challenges too. The recent release of government papers suggest there was a view, in the 1980s, that the city should be allowed to slip into terminal decline. But the character and characters which make Liverpool are irrepressible and the transformation of the city over the last decade is breathtaking. Keepmoat Homes is proud to be part of the changes taking place today, creating new homes and communities where people want to live and work.”

Peter Wong Director, Wongs Jewellers “I love Liverpool because it has allowed our family business to grow from strength to strength, supported by this great city and our loyal customers for over 30 years.

Our new Whitechapel showroom has brought Wongs Jewellers into Liverpool’s vibrant shopping centre and we couldn’t wish for a better spot – or a better city to call home.”

John McKenna Family and children law partner, Paul Crowley & Co Solicitors "The thing I love most about Liverpool is how it keeps on developing and reinventing itself. I just love watching derelict buildings and warehouses turned into new flats, vibrant bars, or posh restaurants and shops. It's been amazing to see how whole areas of the city - such as the Rope Walks or Liverpool ONE area - have been transformed over the past few years.”

Jenny Bell Sales manager, Bellway “For me, the best thing about Liverpool is the people. I'm not from the city and I commute in every day from my home in Bolton but the Liverpool people have welcomed me and made me feel at home. The friendliness and warmth of the people here are second to none. I think that's what makes the city unique.”

Rob Farnham Chief executive, Venmore “I love Liverpool because of the ambitious attitude of the people combined with a cityscape that speaks of a rich history and vibrant future. Being a port, the mind-set is one of seeking new markets and exploring new ideas and I love the way that our World Heritage buildings are part of our daily life.

“A prime example of this would be the remarkable council chambers within Liverpool Town Hall, which are now home to our property auctions and will give investors the chance to obtain their own piece of the city in beautiful surroundings.”

Martyn Green Director, Jones Lang LaSalle “Loving Liverpool is not difficult, however, unlike me, I think Liverpool looks at its best first thing in the morning. I love the skyline when it’s still dusky, the outline of the Liver Building and West Tower as you drive in, the roof-tops as you walk down Castle, Brunswick or Dale Street, for example. Each building is unique. There is nothing better than walking through the city before it truly wakes up. It feels serene and tranquil, yet ready for the day ahead."

Louise Craven Sales manager, New City Vision “I have always had a great affinity with Liverpool.

My grandparents lived here and my dad was born in Knotty Ash and grew up in West Derby. With such strong family ties it is great to be back working in the city. The redevelopment of Liverpool's waterfront and city centre schemes are grabbing all the headlines currently but what I love is that it is not just the city centre that is getting redeveloped, Ellergreen is a huge investment in the Norris Green neighbourhood 500 new homes with 250 already built. It is a really great place, I love it.”

Darren Carter Branch manager, Reeds Rains Estate “I love Liverpool's character, nowhere in the world can you find a more welcoming greeting than that given by a true Scouser. The varied personalities and cultures make it a great place to live and work. It's fantastic to see how far Liverpool has come in the last few years following the successful Capital of Culture bid, and it will only go from strength to strength. Liverpool's now the city in the North West to shop, dine and live in.”

Riverside endorses First Time Buyers Show Riverside Home Ownership has endorsed the First Time Buyers Show in spring, showing its support by taking a stand on the day.

The free event, on April 21 at the Halliwell Jones Stadium in Warrington, will feature expert advice on affordable new homes, mortgage advice and FirstBuy help for first-time buyers from Merseyside and Cheshire - and showcase hundreds of available homes.

With over 30 exhibitors at the show, the stands will exhibit affordable properties, housebuilders, independent financial advisors, lenders and solicitors, and the seminars throughout the day will give information on everything from conveyancing to government-backed

schemes.

Jeanette Grady, sales and new business manager at Riverside Home Ownership said: “Riverside and HomesHub are the leading providers of affordable home ownership schemes in Merseyside and Cheshire. We think the First Time Buyers Show is a great way to spread the word that there is help available to purchasers, despite the difficult market conditions. We expect the event to be a great success.”

Rightmove has also been confirmed as associate sponsor of the one-day event.

HomesHub, the governmentappointed affordable homes agent in the North West, is hosting the event.

Ben Clay, of HomesHub, commented: “As the region’s affordable homes specialist, we

understand the challenges faced by first time buyers in today’s market.

We are working with partners across Merseyside and Cheshire to offer practical help through FirstBuy, shared ownership, Rent-to-Buy and other choices. Despite the challenges first time buyers face we continue to witness strong demand – and this show is designed to show aspiring homeowners what options and support could help them.”

With easy access from the M62 and good local transport links, the event will open from 10am to 4pm.

SEA ODYSSEY TO HEAD NORTH When the world’s leading street theatre company brings its latest extravaganza to Liverpool this year, North Liverpool will take centre stage.

Sea Odyssey

Royal De Luxe will present Sea Odyssey, a story of how the human spirit triumphs over the Titanic tragedy, in April and for the first time in Liverpool event history areas such as Stanley Park, Everton and Anfield will play a part.

Sea Odyssey will star the 30-foot tall Little Girl Giant and it is estimated the event will attract an audience of around 250,000. The Little Girl Giant will visit areas around both Liverpool and Everton football clubs as well as Breck Road and Walton Lane.

Councillor Wendy Simon, Liverpool city council’s cabinet member for culture and tourism, said: “Tens of thousands of people visit the north end for football matches, but rarely spend any more time there, so this is the perfect opportunity to show off the area and its potential, and as a result, hopefully encourage investment.

“Everton Park is a prime example of a significant city asset in close proximity to the city centre which some people, even Liverpudlians, may not be aware of – so it’s a case of highlighting these hidden gems and transforming people’s perceptions of the area.”

The free event takes place from Friday 20 to Sunday 22 April.

PROPERTY NEWS NEW HOMES AT CRESSINGTON HEATH Homebuyers have a fresh chance to purchase a brand new Redrow home in South Liverpool with the launch of a further phase of homes at Cressington Heath.

Darren Carter with Rachel Dickman

Perks of City Living Young professionals were quick to recognise the perks of city living, but increasingly families are attracted to the lifestyle, along with buy-to-let investors who can enjoy the excellent yields and rental demand in the city.

Reeds Rains, which has ‘City Living’ offices in Manchester, Salford Quays and Sheffield is set to open its first office in Liverpool city centre, following a

year of record letting and residential income as well as record profit results. Its 'City Living' offices have been designed specifically for the fast-paced city centre market. This new flagship branch is no exception, with quick and easy access to expert advice from the highly experienced team.

Darren Carter will be leading the way as branch manager, with Rachel Dickman as lettings manager; together they have 20 years of residential sales and

lettings management experience.

A Valentine's date with Miller Homes Home buyers looking for love this Valentine's need look no further than Miller Homes.

Its 14 developments in the North West, including the Merseyside developments in Anfield and St Helens, provide an ideal opportunity to find a perfect match of home and incentive.

Michaela Lancaster, Miller homes sales and marketing director said: "With the spring peak home buying period just around the corner, we are inviting home buyers to make a date with Miller Homes this Valentine's and have a look at what is on offer. There is good reason for the urgency. The HomeBuy Direct scheme ends in March, which sees the end of the five-year interest free loan for up to 30 per cent of the price of a new

home. Also ending in March, the one per cent Stamp Duty holiday on new homes priced from £125,000 to £250,000. This will add £1,250 to £2,500 to the cost of a home for first time buyers purchasing in this price range.”

Miller Homes offers more deals though, such as FirstBuy equity loans, an interest free loan for up to 20 per cent of the property price and reduced deposit.

For homeowners Miller Homes offers its MiSWAP Home Exchange scheme on selected developments.

MiSWAP allows buyers to trade their old home for a new

Miller Home, whether it is worth more, the same or less than the Miller Home they wish to move to.

More details on new homes can be found at www.millerhomes.co.uk

Cressington Heath

The original development of 314 homes sold out last year and now Redrow has unveiled a further 48 homes in the latest phase from the award-winning housebuilder’s New Heritage Collection.

Lesley Myers, area sales manager for Redrow Homes (Lancashire), said: “The launch of this latest phase will enable those who perhaps missed out the first time round to purchase one of our quality built homes, while those already living at Cressington Heath may now be ready to make their next step on the property ladder.”

With a range of two, three and four-bedroom homes available, the development will cater for a variety of buyers and budgets.

“It will be some weeks before we’re able to invite visitors to look around a show home at Cressington Heath, but in the meantime they’ll be able to take virtual tours of properties around the country thanks to our broadband television channel Redrow.TV.” Lesley added.

For more information telephone 0151 345 0134 or visit www.redrow.co.uk/cressingt on-heath. To take a virtual tour of the New Heritage Collection log on to www.redrow.tv.

OBITUARY

TRIBUTE TO PAUL RICE Your Move was one of a great many organisations to be saddened to hear of the death of Liverpool Commercial Partnership’s Chief Executive Paul Rice who passed away on Saturday 21 January 2012.

The Metropolitan Cathedral of Christ the King was packed with mourners from all walks of life for the Requiem Funeral Mass which took place on 1 February.

Paul was appointed as chief executive of the Liverpool Commercial District Partnership in 2006. He was diagnosed with MDS 18 months ago (a form of blood cancer similar to Leukemia). Throughout this time he battled with courses of chemotherapy and underwent a bone marrow transplant in the Royal Liverpool University Hospital in January last year.

Despite the intensive, invasive and gruelling nature of his treatment he continued to work seemingly tirelessly successfully campaigning to secure a ‘yes’ vote in the ballot last year to achieve Business Improvement District (BID) status.

Paul was highly regarded in the business community and his passion, commitment and energy was appreciated by everyone who had the privilege to work with him.

A devoted Liverpool supporter, Paul chaired the inaugural meeting of the Spirit of Shankly (SOS) Supporters' Union before being elected as Chair and then Vice Chair and Lifetime Vice President in recognition of his work for the organisation.

Tributes flooded in from across the city and around the world from those who knew Paul.

Liverpool FC managing director Ian Ayre said: "I was fortunate to have known Paul personally and he was a true fan and also an excellent businessman.” Peter Hooton of The Farm described him as ‘inspirational.’

Chairman of the Commercial District Partnership David Guest said: “There are no words that can do justice to such an inspirational character. Both professionally and personally I had the utmost respect and affection for a much loved man who was genuinely committed to Liverpool and whose achievements for the city will leave a lasting legacy. Paul’s unique personality shone with his sense of humour, warmth and likeability. He had the ability to relate to anyone whatever their status or walk of life and always made an impact on people. He will be sorely missed but never forgotten.”

Paul was cared for by staff in wards 7y and 10z at the Royal University Hospital Liverpool and throughout his illness he described both teams as incredible. Before he died Paul decided to set up SPLOSH (Staff, Patients and Loved Ones Supporting Heamatology). Donations received will be directed to the Haematology Dept at the Royal who will use it for the benefit patients and their families and support the invaluable work their dedicated staff do. www.lindamccartney.workwithus.org/fundraising/Donate.as px?mode=edit&page=7072

Prestigious award for LSL LSL Land and New Homes is celebrating after picking up an award at the Estate Agency of the Year Awards sponsored by the Times and Sunday Times.

Despite being a relative newcomer to the market, the bronze award recognised LSL Land and New Homes, a division of LSL Property Services, as an emerging force within the marketplace. Judges attributed its success to the development of strong working relationships with developers.

Andrew Molloy, business development manager for LSL Land and New Homes, said: “These awards are some of the most fiercely fought in the industry and to win bronze on our ‘first outing’ is great news for us all. The fact that judges acknowledged developers appreciation of our attitude, knowledge and impressive range of services was particularly welcomed and I know the team as a whole was delighted by this result.

We now can’t wait to build on this success in the future.”

Focusing heavily on new homes sales, land sale and acquisition as well as associated second hand sales, LSL Land and New Homes is the land and new homes division for wellknown estate agents Reeds Rains, Your Move InterCounty, JNP, Goodfellows, Frosts and Phillip Green.

Keepmoat builders wear the pink

For one day only some of Keepmoat Homes’ beefiest workmen donned the pinkest of pink protective gear on site at developments in North Huyton, all in aid of Breast Cancer Campaign’s Wear It Pink day.

Decked out in pink highvis jackets, pink hard hats and even pink boots, the workmen at Hamilton Place put aside their male pride for a fantastic cause, raising £1,159.47 in the process.

David Wroe, managing director for Keepmoat Homes North West, commented: “We’ve been taking part in this for a couple of years now and raised more than ever this time. Breast cancer affects so many people, some of whom we know personally, so we’re honoured to do our bit to help.

Keepmoat Homes wear pink

“All the lads on site really got into the spirit of the day, had a good laugh and helped to raise money for a fantastic cause. We can’t wait to do it again next year.”

Rebecca Guy, senior manager of Breast Cancer Campaign, said: “We are very grateful to Keepmoat Homes for taking part in this year’s Wear It Pink day and helping us towards our £2.5 million target. Every year, some 48,000

people are diagnosed with breast cancer and Wear It Pink helps to fund vital research into the disease which affects so many.”

Keepmoat Homes currently has six developments across in Merseyside. For more information about the developments, the houses and payment options visit www.keepmoathomes.co.uk

Beat winter freeze with Assured With gas and electricity prices still sky high, most of us are looking for ways to save on the utility bills with some, especially the elderly, resorting to not using their central heating at all to keep the cost down.

Gary Johnson

Assured Heating Solutions, based in North Liverpool and covering the whole of the North West, looks after all domestic plumbing and hot water systems along with installing, servicing and repairing boilers and central heating systems. They also work with housing associations, landlords, letting agents and property management companies to make sure that the heating systems tenants are using are the most energy and cost efficient.

Director Gary Johnson said: “I was shocked to find out in a report by the Department of Energy and Climate Change

(DECC) last year that more people die in fuel poverty because they are unable to heat their homes than in road traffic accidents.

“Inefficient boilers, high fuel bills and poor insulation are all contributing to this. We work to upgrade and replace heating systems so that they work more efficiently for you and don’t cost as much to run. We have a finance package in place as well to make it easier for people to afford.”

Your Mayor, Your Say As the row over an elected mayor for Liverpool rages on, we ask you, the people who matter, what you think.

Do you want an elected mayor for Liverpool?

Alan Richards, from Liverpool now living in Wales (pictured with wife Jean) I’m against having an elected mayor; especially the way Liverpool is doing it. The leader of the city council Joe Anderson has suggested not having a referendum to ask the people what they think and just having an election instead. That’s wrong. Salford has just had a referendum. You have to ask the people if they want it.

If I were to vote I would vote for Liam Fogarty, he’d be the type I’d go for.

Sheila and Norman Love, Widnes Sheila: I do think it’s a good idea. It will bring a lot to the area. London has one so why not Liverpool? The city is up and coming and an elected mayor would help that. I’d be in favour of it.

Norman: It would depend who gets in; you could end up with some lunatic.

Lesley Portas, Southport I don’t think the general principle is a bad idea. I’m all for people having a say. If the elected mayor is going to have power then it needs to be someone with some experience.

If it is just a status issue, just having someone to be the face of the city then it’s different but if they are going to have some degree of control then they’ll need to be somewhat experienced. I wouldn’t want someone biased though, with a purely political agenda.

Lisa Fieldes, Metquarter Flowers I think it’s a good idea to have a mayor. It’s not done London any harm has it? If we are going to have one I think it should be someone in the public eye such as (producer and screenwriter) Phil Redmond. I would vote for him but it depends how difficult or complicated they make the voting.

If it were easy then I would vote.

Mrs E Coppelov, Huyton I’m not sure I’m in favour of having a mayor. If I were going to vote I would choose Liam Fogarty (former managing editor of Radio Merseyside). I don’t know much about him but if he’s been campaigning for this for over a decade then I’d go for him as he’s dedicated. What puts me off though is the cost. I’ve heard having an elected mayor would cost a lot of money but would it make any money back for the city?

Wendy Henshaw, St Helens I think an elected mayor would be good for the city. I have to admit I don’t know much about it, I haven’t heard much said about it but London has one and that works well.

The story so far….

Liverpool was set to join 10 other cities across the country in May in holding a referendum, with an election to be held in November should the people vote in favour. But councillor Joe Anderson has claimed bringing the election forward to May instead could secure £130m funding from the government. The government has yet to confirm this, stating only that to gain extra powers

and funding cities must have ‘stronger governance’.

The council will vote on bypassing the referendum to an elected mayor election on February 7.

If the election goes ahead on May 3, candidates will have to declare their interest before the end of March. Currently, just two have thrown their hats into the ring – councillor Joe Anderson and Liam Fogarty.

Danielle Hill moved into her three-bedroom house on the Ellergreen development in Norris Green two months ago with her boyfriend Lee and their eightmonth-old daughter Lily. It’s the couple’s first home and they bought it through HomeBuy Direct.

I lived not far from here in Broadway with my parents so I knew the area well. I didn’t want to rent as I saw it as wasting money so we had already started saving up for a deposit when we heard about HomeBuy Direct (a government scheme by which the buyer only pays five per cent of the deposit with the rest covered by a loan) and the people at Ellergreen were really lovely and helpful.

We’re decorating at the moment, which is a bit of a nightmare with an eight month old. Plus my boyfriend is in the army so he’s away a lot.

We’re tiling the kitchen and we’ve recently had the carpet in the lounge laid.

One of my favourite pieces in my house is my award – my friends and I had a Come Dine With Me style competition and I won the award for being a ‘Yummy Mummy’. It takes pride of place on my table.

My clock is perfect for the kitchen because of its cutlery frame. I bought it in B&M. The colour scheme in my kitchen is black and white and I bought my black and white bread bin and tea and coffee pots from Matalan, which is one of my favourite shops for home-ware.

The landscape pictures of New York and Liverpool that we have in the lounge and hallway are from a shop called Kingsdale, which has now closed down. You can tell they’re old – the New York one still has the twin towers in! They are Lee’s, he brought them with him when we moved in.

I want to get a fireplace in the living room. I’d love one with a big surround so it can be a real focal point. My corner couch is from Next – another favourite of mine. I got my curtains and cushions from there too. They’re quite neutral which I really like.

Lily loves Minnie Mouse so we have lots of Minnie dolls and pictures in her room, like this canvas of Minnie and Daisy Duck from the Disney Shop.

One of the best things about the house is the size. It’s a three bedroom and it’s really spacious.

We do plan on having more children - although not right now – so it’s good to know we have the space.

At 26 Beth Tweddle is the UK’s most successful gymnast, taking home gold multiple times at both the European and World Championships and the Commonwealth Games. The Cheshire-bred gymnast tells Your Move how she’s now facing her biggest challenge yet as she prepares for the Olympics on home soil.

INTERVIEW BY CHRISTINE TONER You’ve obviously competed in the Olympics before but how does it feel to be preparing for the games in your own country? It’s both a massive honour and a massive challenge, every athlete wants to go to the Olympics but to have it on home soil is just a massive bonus.

What do you think it means for sport in the country? Obviously there are the popular sports like athletics that people automatically think to take their children to, but for some of the low profile sports, having the Olympics here will help give them a massive profile. Parents and children might think of going to watch fencing or handball, the lesser-known sports, and there is probably a club for them out there they could attend, they’re just not as well known.

You’ve been visiting schools in the region recently, why was that? I teamed up with Liverpool city council for the Live and Learn Project, which aims to get the children inspired with 2012 coming up. It was nice for them to see an athlete who has already been to the Olympics.

On a personal basis, I want to inspire kids to get into sport. Sometimes they don’t realise 48 Your Move

the opportunity is there on their doorstep.

I’ve set up five gymnastic academies in Liverpool and one in Birkenhead just to give them that chance. When I was young I had a 20-minute drive to my first club and then an hour drive to my second club.

Parents can’t always fit that in or can’t afford to do that whereas if it’s in a local school they can walk to it.

Are you noticing more enthusiasm towards the sport since the Olympics were awarded to London? Yes, a lot of parents and teachers are saying their children have started gymnastics because they have seen me on the television.

It was more when I won my first world title and gymnastics started to get the bigger profile, gym clubs said they had a mass of phone calls the next day from children wanting to do gymnastics so it’s definitely raised the profile.

You’ve won some impressive medals, which one means the most to you?

Probably the World Title in 2009 because it was on home ground and I was always known as a bar worker so to come back and win a floor title was kind of unexpected by everyone.

Despite being so successful, you still attended university and got a degree in sports science, how important was it for you to get that? There were a couple of reasons why I did that. I’d done a year of just training and I found it really quite hard to

switch off. My coach was very encouraging for me to go back to education whether it was university or college and it just so happened that Liverpool John Moores university was offering a scholarship scheme at the time.

I found the two complimented each other.

If I’d had a bad day in the gym I was able to switch off from it and vice versa, if I couldn’t cope with the essays I was able to go the gym.

I was lucky in the fact that the university was very supportive, if there were any deadlines that clashed with competitions they did everything they could to try and help me.

Plus my friends knew that obviously my training was my number one priority.

What will your summer itinerary be?

When will you move down to London?

We’re not due to move down to London until around the 22 July but the team doesn’t actually get announced until the 27 June so I don’t know whether I’m selected yet. That keeps you on your toes.

Finally, what legacy do you hope the Olympics will leave on the UK? For kids to be inspired that if they have a dream they can follow it. There’ll be a lot of success stories in the Olympics, there’ll also be a lot of sad stories but hopefully the kids can see that an athlete has achieved their dream even if they’ve had two years of injury or they’ve come back to an Olympics having not achieved at another Olympics. I just want it to show kids that with a lot of determination and hard work you can achieve your dreams.

INTERIOR DESIGN

Ask the expert With over ten years’ experience in the interior design business, Sharon Armor is poised to answer all your design queries from DIY disasters to decorating dilemmas.

GLAM Lateral thinking ROCK LIVING We have taken the plunge and had an architect around to our property to draw up some plans for a two-storey extension to the side of the house. We like the plans they presented for the top floor but we are concerned that the ground floor extension is going to create a very long and narrow room. Ideally, we wanted the additional room downstairs to be a second lounge, however after looking at the plans we are reconsidering our plans. Do you think we could make a long and narrow room work as a lounge?

I think you have made a wise decision to question if the proposed extension is giving you the desired end results.

When there is only enough space to add a narrow extension, let’s say to the side of a property along a boundary, it is usually better to use the space to enlarge existing living areas than have a room that will cause you problems. Is it possible to incorporate the extra space into your kitchen? If it is, it could give you the opportunity to have a large open plan kitchen/family room, which would be the perfect alternative to a second lounge.

I want to redecorate the feature wall in the hallway with wallpaper that is a statement, bold and fashionable. I have no preference to colour as anything could work. Could you suggest wallpaper that isn’t wildly expensive?

MAKE A SPLASH

One of the hottest colours on the high street is mustard. The colour will bring a warm glow to any room and will work with most other colour combinations especially navy blue, red and orange.

Do The Stretch by Graham & Brown in their Vintage Editions Collection Hemmingway, could look fantastic in a hallway; the wallpaper captures the 70’s glam rock with a hint of space odyssey and would provide a statement focal point to your hallway. www.grahambrown.com

We have recently moved into a new property. The main bathroom, which we use as a family bathroom for the children, is a perfect size with a great walk-in shower. The problem I have with the room is that it looks too white and clinical; I would like to make the room more child-friendly so that the children enjoy being in there. We don’t have the budget which would allow for new tiles etc, but if you have any ideas that could bring some fun into the room I would love to read about them?

I have the perfect solution for you: I love this new window film from Purldeco, which would look fantastic on the glass doors of the walk in shower. The film is decorated with a gold fish design that I’m sure your children will adore and it will magically transform a functional screen into a decorative treasure. The film is easy to install and as each sheet is made to measure, you won’t even have to cut it to fit. www.purldeco.com Your Move 57

Fed up of waiting for your man to pop the question? Well ladies, it’s a leap year again so why not reverse roles and propose to him.

But what do you propose to him with? Peter Wong, director of Wongs Jewellers in Liverpool city centre, said: “If the man in question usually wears a ring, then another ring seems like an appropriate gesture. However, if he’s not one for wearing much jewellery a watch could be perfect proposal offering. You could even engrave that crucial ask, ‘marry me’, onto the back of the dial.”

Wongs also offers a bespoke engagement ring design service were all rings are designed and made on-site by master craftsmen in the jeweller’s Whitechapel workshop.

Already a favourite with be boasting of a gift to a friend myself, I know the fish is then discover they have the same deliciously fresh, the seafood piece.

Pretoria, South Africa,” he says.

I meet with branch manager “So it’s always been in the family

and something I’ve always done, it’s in my blood.”

Born and bred in Pretoria, Bradley has travelled the world on cruise liners learning the trade of jewellery, watches and precious metals. Finally, settling in the city with his Liverpool-born wife and children he has worked in numerous jewellers across the North West. However, it’s at Wongs Jewellers where he sees himself becoming part of the family business and staying for a very long time.

“Your doctor, your dentist and your jeweller become your family friend,” he says. “We’re focusing a lot on passing trade but then also building on that loyal support which is crucial in today’s market.

“We are building our marketing campaign to make Wongs Jewellers top of the market, a stone’s throw away from Liverpool ONE. The family built their business on the workshop, established over 30 years ago which was a core part of the business before they moved into retail. This is a huge advantage because if we need to adjust or

change a piece on the day we can do that, when most jewellers will send it off and have a two to four week turnaround on jewellery.

“We don’t just have the standard jewellery you can find in any shop; our range is more exclusive, more designer.”

In an age of multitudes of shops, the one you choose to frequent is crucially becoming about service and affordability.

With a new retail store, as welcoming as its staff and services taking into account the customer before the profit margin, Wongs Jewellers has quickly positioned itself at the top of the market reflecting Liverpool’s tastes for unique jewellery and affordability.

Hanover Street Social doesn’t disappoint either; oozing atmosphere, it’s a perfect setting for a Valentine’s dinner to unveil your Wongs gift.
