Attention to detail DAVID J MARTIN’S PAINSTAKING METHODS MEAN EVERY BESPOKE PIECE OF FURNITURE IS GUARANTEED TO BE UNIQUE AND BEAUTIFUL. n these days of mass produced furniture, it’s good to know there is a well-established business dedicated to creating beautiful bespoke, handmade pieces for your kitchen, bedroom, study or lounge.

Not only does David J Martin have a stunning showroom, customers are also amazed to find their huge on-site workshop on the bottom floor, meaning everything is done in-house, enabling owner David to guarantee high quality at every stage of he process.

There’s a team of eight, highly trained carpenters working on kitchen cabinets and islands, bedroom furniture, desks and study furniture, each one made unique to order.

David himself is a carpenter by trade, training for years before completing a degree in the subject. He ensures his staff are trained to the highest standard, resulting in the finest quality products.

“Our attention to detail is second to none and this makes us stand out from the crowd,” said David. “We are not held to ransom by mass-produced products as we make everything from scratch – even down to making our own cutters for producing mouldings.”

This means you can add to your kitchen in years to come and the company will still be able to match the designs.

In the David J Martin showroom, a

stunning range of kitchens is on display, but the company also produces bespoke furniture for every room in the house. They cater to all styles, from traditional to modern handless kitchens, while cocktail cabinets are particularly on trend right now.

After an initial customer consultation, when David will discuss budgets and offer expert design advice, the cabinetmakers work from plans drawn by David and create bespoke furniture, which can be sprayed to high gloss or satin finishes using durable Two Pac paint.

David J Martin’s professional sprayer can apply any colour you wish in their paintspraying booth, giving a modern finish with no joins. That means water cannot seep in and cause peeling – something that can happen with vinyl-wrapped doors.

For those customers undertaking full refurbishment of their home, David J Martin can provide a one-stop shop for structural, plumbing and electricity work, as well as building furniture.

For David it’s all about creating a high quality customer experience, whether the job be big or small. One call to David J Martin could result in a stunning new extension, complete with kitchen, plumbing and electricity – David only employs the best tradesmen.

In the company’s 37 years of trading, David J Martin has built a superb reputation for

@PulseRMC

customer satisfaction. The company is highly regarded for their customer and after-sales service, ensuring that every customer is a happy one and fixing any problems with their furniture, whether that be two weeks or ten years down the line.

For more information, or to see what is on offer, call 0114 268 6718 or check out the website www.david-j-martin.co.uk.

Festive factory THE IZAL FACTORY IN THORNCLIFFE HAS A LONG TRADITION OF CELEBRATING CHRISTMAS IN THE BEST POSSIBLE WAY. hristmas is just around the corner and many of us are counting down the days before we can start decorating our homes and work places.

When the days are shorter and colder, it’s amazing how much festive activities such as Christmas jumper days and secret Santa gift exchanges can brighten our work days. This is something The Izal Factory in Thorncliffe know only too well.

These photos from the book Ecclesfield, Chapeltown & High Green From Old Photographs by Mel and Joan Jones were taken in 1961 and depict an alpine scene and a nativity scene created by two of the teams working at the factory.

The accompanying text says: “As Christmas approached each year, workers from each room in the Izal Factory entered a competition for the best festively decorated area. Subjects were very varied and included large figures of Father Christmas, Santa’s reindeers, the manger in the stable, Christmas fireside scenes and snow-covered churches.

“Everything in these Christmas scenes was made out of spare tissue, cardboard and other waste materials. Members of the managerial staff adjudicated but there was no first prize, just the prestige of winning.”

The trade name Izal was first registered by Newton Chambers in 1893. The brand became world-famous in the fight against disease because of its disinfectant, made from germicidal oil, as well as becoming famous for producing toilet paper. The germicidal oil was a by-product of coke making from coal, which went in the blast furnaces at Thorncliffe Ironworks.

C

A range of postcards were produced in 1924 and 1932 with the heading “Izal kills germs.” The postcards shown here were created by comic artist, William Heath Robinson. They demonstrated the many uses of Izal disinfectant. The artist also created many other drawings to promote the factory’s products including a range, which appeared on Izal’s toilet paper.

Building work on the factory started in Thorncliffe in the 1930s, but was interrupted by the Second World War. Work resumed in 1947 and was finished in 1950.

If you recognise any of the workers from the Izal Factory pictured here or have any more information about the business, contact Pulse on the details at the bottom of the page.

PROMOTION

Are you prepared?

PEACE FUNERALS ARE HERE TO HELP AT THE MOST DIFFICULT OF TIMES. was visiting my son and his family recently and I spent quite a bit of time chatting to my granddaughter who was showing me her Brownies badges and certificates. I was surprised to see on one certificate the motto ‘Be Prepared’ which I remembered from my time in the Cubs, several decades previously. It’s a simple adage that has stood the test of time. In fact, it is a guiding principle that has served me well throughout my work and social life.

For example, if I’m going into a meeting with colleagues at work, I know that the meeting will be much more effective if I have gathered together any facts and figures that I might need in advance.

If I’m going on a long walk, no matter how good the weather may seem in the valley, it has always paid to have wind and waterproof clothing with me that might prove life-saving on a mountain summit. Being prepared just makes life a lot easier.

So, as I head into the later years of my life, shouldn’t I ‘be prepared’ for the inevitable and get my affairs in order. Specifically, shouldn’t I prepare for my own funeral?

I

Not everyone wants to consider their own funeral but we will all need one at some stage. Doesn’t it make sense to have one for yourself that you would have wanted? Well, if you are ‘prepared’, and take out a funeral plan, that’s exactly what you can do.

Pre-paid funeral plans help in many ways.

They give you protection against inflation, and take away the financial burden of your funeral from your loved ones. They help those left behind to know that they are giving you the funeral that you wanted. And they provide you with the peace of mind that this aspect of your life is dealt with and you don’t need to think about it anymore.

At Peace Funerals (see advert), we have been providing funeral plans tailored to each individual’s wishes for over 20 years. Unlike tailormade suits, where you would expect to pay more

for a bespoke product, tailor-made funeral plans can cost you less than a standard package as you don’t pay for elements that you don’t want.

Prices start from around £2,000 for a direct (unattended) cremation and from around £2,700 for a standard bespoke funeral. All plans can be bought by a single payment or by monthly instalments over up to five years. The choice is yours. And the relief that you feel when you know that you have got it all sorted is priceless.

So, if you haven’t already got a funeral plan, isn’t it time for you to ‘Be Prepared’.

Give us a call on 0114 253 0505 or 0114 233 0563 to find out more, or visit our website www.peacefunerals.co.uk.

Now in its 25th year, the popular Loxley race in which all runners receive a Christmas pud for their efforts, takes them along the picturesque Loxley Valley on the outskirts of Sheffield.

It started as a Steel City Striders event and has grown in popularity from the first race in 1993 when 600 finished, to this year when the event was sold out within three hours of going live.

Some runners will be donning their best Lycra and festive fancy dress in a bid to make new records and take home the £1,000 prize for setting a new course record, whilst others will be just happy to make it past the finish post.

Last year, Olympian Eilish McColgan a middle distance athlete, crossed the finish line in 32 minutes and 32 seconds, beating the previous course record by around 80 seconds.

Mohammed Abu-Rezeq was the first man to break the 30-minute barrier in 2016 with a time of 29 minutes and 57 seconds, and is planning to run again this year in an attempt

to beat his own record.

For those who need some encouragement to get around the course, there will be pace runners between 40 to 65 minutes to help you achieve your target time.

“Runners come from all over to take part in the Percy Pud. We have people from Liverpool and Manchester, to some from the Isle of White and London,” said race director, Richard Dunk.

“The race is great fun for all involved, a brilliant way to help raise money for important charities and it helps promote the local area. The run also gets people into the Christmas spirit.”

As it’s the 25th anniversary, participants will be given limited edition commemorative t-shirts. Runners will also get the traditional Christmas pudding when they finish the race.

The Percy Pud run raises more than @PulseRMC

£100,000 annually for charities, and this year the money raised will go to St Luke’s Hospice in Sheffield along with Changing Faces. They also will be making donations to other local charities around the Sheffield City Region.

Changing Faces is a charity that began work in 1992 to help people who have a disfigurement find a way to live the live they want. They want each person they support to be living their life without anxiety or fear of being ignored, abused, harassed, restricted, rejected or ejected.

This year, the race will be run in memory of Strider Trevor Burton, who sadly died during the summer. They will be selling a

WHETHER YOU’RE LOOKING FOR RAW POWER OR PRACTICALITY, THERE’S SOMETHING TO SUIT EVERYONE THIS MONTH, WRITES JORDAN CUTFORTH.

Pulling power Entry level Ferrari Say hello to the Ferrari Portofino, Ferrari’s all-new open-top grand tourer.

Taking the place of the California T in the Ferrari range as the company’s ‘entry level’ supercar, the Portofino has some hefty responsibility on its hands.

With an all-new chassis laying under an all-new more aggressive and purposeful design philosophy, the Portofino is much more than just a face-lifted California T. Powered by the same 3.9-litre twin-turbo V8, power has been boosted to 592hp which gets the car from 0124mph in 10.8 seconds. It’s 80kg lighter than the California T and it boasts a larger boot too.

The cabin is much improved and is set inline with the cabin from the GTC4 Lusso with the new 10.2-inch touchscreen and newly designed steering wheel.

The latest Mondeo range will now have a new sports and luxury specification

The brand-new Audi RS4 Avant was revealed to the world at this year’s Frankfurt Motor Show.

As with the previous incarnation of the RS4, this generation model will only be available in estate form, leaving the RS5 to occupy the more sport-orientated market.

Unlike the previous RS4, which boasted a high-revving naturally aspirated V8, the new RS4 is powered by a 2.9-litre biturbo V6 making 444 bhp and 442.5 lb ft of torque, an increase of 124.4 lb ft over the previous model.

The interior of the RS4 is impeccable. It’ll come with the company’s infamous ‘virtual cockpit’ arrangements and built with a fit and finish only the Germans can achieve.

Transmission is an eight-speed auto job with Quattro all-wheel drive.

Prices start from £61,625.

Swift response Ever wanted your hot-hatch to feel raw and analogue in today’s digital world? The Suzuki Swift Sport was the car to have.

With a lightweight design, manual gearbox and powered by a fizzy rev-happy naturally-aspirated petrol engine, the Swift Sport was one of the most enjoyable cars to drive on the road.

Now there’s a brand-new Swift Sport coming to town, and it looks good. It weights 970kg, 80kg fewer than the old model meaning it’ll be like a wasp on the twisty roads, it comes with a snappy sixspeed manual gearbox and a 138hp 1.4litre turbocharged motor.

A seven-inch touchscreen, 4.2-inch display set between the dials, Bluetooth phone and music streaming, plus Apple CarPlay and Android Auto will come as standard.

FIVE ALIVE After the launch of the Mondeo back in 2015, Ford has now decided to update the line-up to its flagship businessman’s express.

The latest Mondeo range will now have a new sports and luxury specification. In short the Mondeo range will drop from seven trim levels to only five. Starting off at £19,445 we have the Zetec Edition, then there’s the ST-Line both existing and new trim level, then we have the Titanium Level and the range-topping Vignale.

As standard, all five models have navigation, DAB, autonomous braking to mitigate or avoid low-speed collisions at under 31mph, front/rear parking sensors and cruise control with speed limiter. ST-Line features lowered sports suspension and an enhanced sporty look with Titanium introducing premium leather heated seats. @PulseRMC
