COMPLETE KITCHEN & BEDROOM SOLUTIONS

Fitted December 2014 in Sheffield 10.

From a replacement worktop to a whole new kitchen or bedroom, there’s no job too small for CKB. aving traded out of 133 Middlewood Road for over six years now, the Sheffield public are becoming well aware of the high quality, bespoke service on offer at Complete Kitchens and Bedroom Solutions.

Owned by Scott Webster, CKB offer a complete kitchen and bedroom service alongside the capability of anything from removing walls to building extensions. Scott said: “When you come to us you really do get everything. Building work, electrics, plastering, decoration, fitting, flooring – this is a one-stop-shop.”

But just because Scott and his team can perform complete renovations, that doesn’t mean that they have to. CKB understand that not everybody can afford top to bottom renovations at this moment in time so are more than happy to work on anything from replacing a single kitchen unit upwards.

“I can do eight metres of worktop and a new sink and tap for £950 or a whole kitchen or bedroom – so people can have whatever they can budget for,” said Scott. “And if you have your own electrician or plumber that you would like to use then you are more than welcome to do so. We will do as little or as much as you wish.”

A feature of CKB which sets it apart from many of its competitors is that it manufactures everything on site, giving it a bespoke service.

This means it can cater to any needs or desires.

Scott employs a close team of dedicated workers including a registered electrician, and plumber, as well as qualified plasterer, brick layers and window fitters, who are all contracted to CKB. Gloss doors particularly in white and cream are in vogue at the current time. This gives a room a fresh appearance and Scott has seen requests for this design boom.

H

Consequently Scott is offering deals on an Astro white and cream gloss – check in at the showroom or give him a call for more deals. Scott doesn’t believe in such gimmicks as offering customers ten per cent off their total bill though. “These are often used to pull the wool over people’s eyes. I offer competitive prices from the word go.”

Should you contact CKB, Scott will come out to view your home for a free appointment. The visit normally lasts for an hour depending on job size. “I don’t give quotes off-the-cuff. I am meticulous when it comes to pricing, so post-appointment I will go through everything and provide an accurate, itemised and fair quote.”

Scott is the initial point of contact for customers and he not only designs his work but does the fitting too. Once Scott has committed to a job he dedicates all his time to it from inception to completion. He guarantees that he will not be working on multiple projects at one time and is even willing to turn down work to be able to do this. “My customers like to know that I will always be there and that they have my undivided attention. That is the least they deserve and will get when they come to me.” As such his customers can contact him 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Doors and worktops are guaranteed for a decade but for extra peace of mind Scott ensures that payment comes in instalments and that the full fee is not paid until the job has been completed satisfactorily.

For a company that will provide your home with undivided, specialist and bespoke attention, give CKB a call today!

PROMOTIONSHEFFIELD WINDOW CENTRE

BELOW: SWC offer an expert stained glass service

CONTINUING SUCCESS When a local business achieves 40 years of continuous trading it is a milestone worth celebrating... so let’s pop a few corks and say ‘cheers’ as we toast the continuing success story that is Sheffield Window Centre.

It was way back in 1975, when Rubik’s Cubes were all the rage and Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen topped the charts, that the company was founded. Fast forward 40 years and Ian Hunter, who took over the running of Sheffield Window Centre (SWC) in the early eighties, is managing director... and with all his four grown-up children also involved, this is a true family business.

You don’t last that long in the same city unless you receive consistently excellent feedback from satisfied customers – and as

20 SIXER MAGAZINE

the decades have rolled by, generations of Sheffield folk have found SWC to be the first, and most reliable, name they look for.

SWC was also the first Sheffield business to be given Trusted Trader status by Which?, a nationwide consumer champion website that not only tests products from washing machines to power tools, but also gives local companies a rigorous assessment before naming only the very best on their online directory of recommended trades people.

Of course, there have been big changes since 1975 and SWC has stayed at the very top by investing in new machinery, adopting green policies, and constantly researching methods of production to provide the most up-to-date levels of security and thermal efficiency.

The one thing that hasn’t changed, and never will, is their “old fashioned” approach to selling. SWC is renowned for its ‘No Pressure Policy’ – leaving customers to decide in their own time. Whether it be price, product, or service – they can’t be beaten and that’s the reason they never need to push or pester.

The company, which has premises on Oakbrook Road, Broad Lane, Scotland Street and Rockingham Street, uses top A family affair... L-R: brand REHAU – a market leader in polymer Ian, Sam, Amy and extrusion – for all their installations. Their Ian Hunter multi-chambered profile uPVC doesn’t

“Whether it be price, product, or service – Sheffield Window Centre can’t be beaten and that’s the reason they never need to push or pester.”

SWC can now provide conservatories, which are suitable for year-round use

warp or discolour like so many lesser Joe Hunter in brands. And if the factory you’re worried you won’t be able to get a frame to match your desired colour or design, don’t be. Frames come in a variety of coloured foils, including cream, black, grey and green, as well as several wood grain colours including rosewood and oak. You can also have your frames sprayed to match any RAL colour – so you’ll have new windows that look exactly how you want them to.

Good-looking windows are no good if you can still feel the chill – but thanks to SWC, you won’t feel a thing. Their standard windows have energy efficiency ratings of A, while their standard doubleglazed units are made from Pilkington’s KS glass, are argon-filled and incorporate a warm edge spacer bar to retain the heat in your home. It’s not just about staying cosy, though – energy efficient windows can help you to make big savings on your heating bill.

Perhaps the most important thing you want from a window is to know that it’s secure, that it will keep would-be thieves successfully at bay. SWC’s windows are fitted with a multi-point shoot bolt locking mechanism – the best there is. They also fit antijemmy devices on all vulnerable opening windows – so you’ve got the peace of mind of knowing that you’ll be as safe as possible.

Don’t be misled by the name, by the way – SWC do more than just windows. They offer an expert stained glass service and fascias and soffits, as well as high-quality doors. These all have Hoppe Security handles fitted as standard – approved by the police, no

www.regionalmagazine.co.uk

less – as well as cylinder locks which are anti-pick, drill, snap and bump and again have a multi-point locking system.

There’s more, too – specifically, conservatories. Due to the advances in glass specification, SWC can now provide conservatories, which are suitable for year-round use, thanks to glass which has been specifically designed for the purpose.

Best for… dark chocolate decadence Heston from Waitrose golden egg, £20 for 270g OUR WINNER

A classy black box with a simple inscription sent us wild with anticipation before we broke into the most mysterious egg of our selection. And, once inside, we were even more impressed. A shiny golden egg concealed the most tantalising white chocolate eggs – each imbued with a zingy milk chocolate and mandarin ganache – all nestled on a bed of edible (super paper) straw. It was oh-so Heston and we loved every bit of it.

Words: Stephanie Burns

EGG-STRA SPECIAL

So much chocolate, so little time. From dark decadence to tasty fun for the kids, our panel tests the best Easter eggs on the market. reme Eggs have been unseasonably gracing the supermarket shelves since early January – and don’t get us started on the controversial Cadnury’s shake-up. But don’t let that mild annoyance distract you from the joyful fact that Easter is finally now upon us.

And that means it’s time to start checking out which eggs will make the grade this year. Fortunately, you don’t have to buy and

C

sample every chocolate treat available as our panel has done the hard work for you.

Whether you’re buying for the kids, for your other half or just as a well-deserved treat for yourself, there’s something to suit the occasion.

Read on to find out which egg took the top spot and which fell short of the mark.

Best for… white chocolate lovers

Best for… fun Nestle Smarties egg hunt, £3 for 140g

Hotel Chocolat white chocolate scrambled egg, £15 for 150g This thick, creamy white chocolate egg was an instant hit with the panel, and the intricate decoration was a beautiful bonus. Add in velvety-smooth praline housed in thick white chocolate shells for the accompanying chocolates and we were in heaven. A very close second.

26 SIXER MAGAZINE

@SixerRMC

While the quality of the chocolate won’t blow you away, the kids will relish the opportunity to hunt around the garden for these eight brightly wrapped eggs. And when they do track them down, a gentle shake will reveal not only a chocolate egg but also a smattering of mini smarties to reward their efforts.

026 - 027 Sixer Mar15_Layout 1 03/03/2015 10:01 Page 2

Best for… a super sweet tooth

Best for… variety

Thorntons caramel cheesecake egg, £15 for 448g Not for the faint hearted, this indulgent egg takes inspiration from a classic dessert. The caramel cheesecake reveals itself not just in the explosion on the front of the egg, but throughout the shell with flecks of crunchy biscuit and caramel delighting at every bite.

Marks & Spencer chocolate egg selection, £10 for 195g If you’re buying for someone who enjoys a variety of flavours, M&S has the answer. Milk chocolate with popcorn and popping candy, white chocolate and raspberry pavlova, and milk chocolate butter crunch make up this tasty trio.

Best for… milk chocolate lovers

Best for… something different

Green & Blacks tasting collection egg, £17.99 for 525g

Sainsbury’s Taste the Difference Belgian white chocolate Easter egg with pistachios, £6 for 220g

Known for its high quality chocolate (37 per cent cocoa solids, no less) and intense flavours, Green & Blacks have a loyal following. This collection shows why. Two full-sized bars of chocolate – one sea salt, one butterscotch, both divine and packed with flavour – accompany a truly delicious milk chocolate egg. A little on the expensive side, but worth every penny.

At first glance, the panel was hugely impressed with this beautiful egg. The gentle green hue, the nutty flecks present throughout the shell and the promise of a good pistachio hit got our mouths watering. But, upon tasting, we were sadly disappointed with the toosubtle pistachio flavour. A nice white chocolate egg but it won’t satisfy serious nut lovers.

Best for… the kids

Best for… the eco-conscious

Tesco Doug the dinosaur, £4 for 200g There are few more exciting prospects than animal-shaped chocolate when you’re a youngster – and Doug the Dinosaur certainly ticks that novelty box. But while the super-thick chocolate makes for an indulgent treat, kids will need a strong adult to help break Doug’s incredibly tough shell.

www.regionalmagazine.co.uk

@SixerRMC

Montezuma organic milk chocolate eco egg with butterscotch, £7.99 for 150g Though the lure of butterscotch got our tastebuds tingling, we were let down by the very subtle flavour. That said, the chocolate was creamy, it wasn’t too sweet and the flecks of butterscotch offered a welcome crunch. We were also impressed by the environmentally friendly, biodegradable sleeve.

Flames are a truly local and independent, fire, fireplace, stove and central heating specialist. Find out how they can help you. f your boiler didn’t perform to the best of its ability over winter, the last thing you probably wanted to do was replace it – potentially plunging your house into sub-zero conditions for days. But now that spring has arrived, it’s the ideal time to take care of any niggling problems or even a complete renovation.

Flames of Sheffield have helped more than 3,400 customers with their fire, fireplace, stove and central heating needs since they first opened their doors in 2005.

Director Lee Day says since the start of the year, when the weather turned colder they saw the usual increase in customers visiting the showroom. “Although autumn and winter was a very busy time for us, the spring is a great time of year to look at completing any home improvements, especially as we have many great offers available.”

Flames of Sheffield offer much more than many other central heating installers as they operate from a showroom at Hillsborough Barracks. They are open seven days a week, and they have a consumer credit licence, which means they can offer a competitive finance scheme. For extra peace of mind, Flames of Sheffield also give their customers a one-year guarantee on installations.

There are great household savings to be made by installing an A-rated, energy-efficient central heating boiler, with the average yearly reduction being between £300-400. Flames of Sheffield are an accredited installer for Worcester-Bosch and this means they can give their customers up to an eight-year parts and labour guarantee and a ten-year guarantee on the heat exchanger. They install the complete range of products from a combi, conventional, back boiler or system boiler, plus they install high-quality Henrad radiators with a ten-year guarantee.

A solid fuel stove is also a great way to cut down on gas usage in many homes. Along as the stove is DEFRA (Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs) approved and the correct fuel is used, like seasoned or kiln dried timber or smokeless coal, this can be a great alternative to heat large areas of a home.

Senior sales advisor Sue Martin says: “Many of the solid fuel stoves used in Sheffield and the surrounding areas have not been installed by a qualified HETAS (Heating Equipment Testing and Approval Scheme) government engineer. This can lead to

At Flames of Sheffield we offer a complete project-managed service from start to finish for a customer and are happy to take professional responsibility for installing and certificating a solid fuel stove, fire or fireplace.”

Flames are an official retailer for a whole range of established British manufacturers and this allows them to offer customers longer than standard guarantees on a whole range of electric, gas and solid fuel fires and stoves. These manufacturers include the likes of Valor, Gazco, Nu-Flame, Dimplex, Elgin and Hall, Paramount, ESSE, Stovax, Trianco, Paragon, Matchless and Electroflame to name but a few. They also have a number of bespoke fireplaces hand-made for them on an exclusive basis and this enables them to meet virtually any customer’s needs, especially if they do not wish to have the added expense of changing their carpet or wooden/laminate flooring when a new fireplace is installed.

Whether a customer requires a high-efficiency fire, a large amount of heat output for their room or an electric fire with a unique flame picture, we are always able to meet their needs.”

Having firmly established themselves over the years as a destination retailer for anyone looking for that special fire, fireplace, solid fuel stove or central heating boiler/system, they consistently offer customers a range of high-quality products, value-for-money competitive offers and a huge choice of bespoke ranges, while always maintaining their very highly rated standard of customer service.

PROMOTIONACCLAIMED FAMILY LAW

City’s highly regarded family solicitor launches own firm. oing through a divorce or relationship breakdown is one of the most stressful things a person can endure. As well as dealing with the emotional upheaval, there are a host of practical arrangements to consider, which can be difficult at such an upsetting time.

Getting the right advice and support can make a huge difference and help you to feel in control of the situation. A solicitor specialising in family law should be your first port of call.

Michelle Cooper is one of the region’s most highly regarded family lawyers and she has now set up the first private family law firm in Sheffield.

A qualified solicitor for 20 years, Michelle was previously a partner and head of family law at one of the area’s leading law firms.

She has now branched out on her own and set up Acclaimed Family Law – an independent family law firm specialising in divorce, private children issues like guardianship, prenuptial agreements, cohabitation disputes and agreements.

Her department has won the Yorkshire Lawyer of the Year award, she is individually named in The Legal 500 and was recently one of only a handful of Yorkshire family lawyers in The Times newspaper’s VouchedFor list and was in the top tier with a five-star rating.

Michelle has always prided herself on delivering client satisfaction and she felt there was a gap in the market that was not being filled by the traditional law firm model.

She says: “Most of my work comes from recommendations

G

and the feedback from clients was excellent, but I still felt we could do even better if the firm was solely focused on the needs of family clients.

“The accolade that meant the most to me was appearing on The Times newspaper’s VouchedFor list. You have to be nominated by clients, who The Times contacts to ensure they are bona fide, and I was in the top tier of reviews.

“I realised then that client satisfaction is what drives me and I believed a standalone family law firm would better meet clients’ needs.”

As a small, independent firm, Acclaimed Family Law can offer a flexible range of cost-effective packages such as fixed fees and pay as you go.

They also offer a first free half hour interview with no obligation or pressure, as well as consultations outside normal working hours.

BE BEAUTIFUL

It’s time to drag your house out of the winter blues and give your home some much-needed TLC. Hannah Pearson has some top tips to get your started. fter a long and chilly winter where snow fell as far as February, it’s hard to believe that spring is now just around the corner. The mornings are brighter, the days are longer and we’re starting to think about shaking off our woolly layers and getting back outside.

But with this flurry of cheerful activity comes the harsh reality that we may have neglected our homes during those chilly months – which becomes apparent when we see our home in the natural sunlight.

A layer of dust seems to have accumulated on every surface, the windows and roof have suffered from the lashings of rain, the garden path is overgrown with weeds – and how long has that stain been on the carpet? It looks vaguely like a mince pie.

The time has come to spring clean! No one looks forward to the annual deep clean, but when the flowers start blooming you know it’s time to drag your house out of the winter blues and give your home some much-needed TLC. With a little elbow grease and a lot of love your house can be beautiful again and have that fresh spring look. Follow these simple steps for a happier home.

A

Check the roof With heavy rain, chilly snow and stormy winds up and down the country, your roof will have suffered a beating this winter.

As spring approaches, it is essential to check that no serious damage has been done. This can be done yourself or, if the thought of climbing onto the roof leaves you feeling queasy, you can hire a professional roofer instead. If any tiles have been displaced, make sure you get them fixed now – you’ll be glad you did when the April showers arrive.

Clear drains and gutters The onslaught of rain we saw this winter will have washed fallen leaves straight into your gutters. If left untreated, clogged up drain pipes and guttering can cause flooding, so make sure you give them a thorough clearing out. Also, check for any cracks or wear and tear that might need fixing.

046 - 047 Sixer Mar15_Layout 1 02/03/2015 16:09 Page 2

Services Guide

Check windows Painting and wood-staining Winter storms can easily cause damage to your window insulation.

Make sure you check for cracks and make repairs if necessary. Now is the perfect time to clean your windows too. Polish them inside and out so you can make the most of when the sun starts shining.

Tidy up exterior Create a fantastic first impression at the impending summer parties by sprucing up the front of your home. Remove any weeds that may have grown across your path, give your front door a good clean, change outdoor light bulbs, tighten wobbly gates or railings and add some plant pots, hanging baskets or a new welcome mat to the entrance of your home.

De-clutter After months of children and pets playing indoors, your house is probably in serious need of clearing out. It’s impossible to thoroughly clean surfaces and cupboards with a winter’s worth of clutter on top of them, so it’s time to be brutal – either find a suitable place for it, or throw it away. Make some extra money by selling unwanted items online, host a car boot sale or donate to your local charity shop.

Clean ceiling fans If you have a ceiling fan, it probably won’t have been used over the winter months. If you don’t remember to clear away the thick layer of dust that will have settled on the blades you will get an unpleasant surprise when you turn them on. Give them a good scrub to avoid circulating dust throughout your home.

Garden With the coming of spring, thoughts turn to our gardens. But if the prospect of landscaping fills you with fear, keep it simple. See your garden in a whole new light by rearranging your plants or purchasing some new garden furniture or accessories. Pressurewash your decking or patio and bring outdoor furniture out of storage for a good clean. Although we’re still a few months away, there’s no harm in giving the barbecue a good scrub before the summer party season begins.

Torrential rain can cause layers of paint to slowly fade away, so now is the time to make everything look brand new by giving your outdoor surfaces a lick of paint.

Think about staining wood surfaces too. Fences, gazebos, tables, chairs – they will all benefit from a new coating ready for the summer.

Flowers Spring is all about adding a splash of colour back into our lives – and what better way to spruce up our home and garden? It may still be a little chilly, but now is the time to get planting so that your garden will be a stunning array of springtime colour. Indoor plants and vases of fresh flowers will bring the natural beauty indoors.

Go green It’s never too late to jump on the bandwagon and start making your home as eco-friendly as possible. Energy-saving features make houses cheaper to run and are a good investment financially, socially and environmentally.

Look out for solar powered products, energy-saving light bulbs, home energy monitors that track your usage, eco-kettles, energy-saving toasters and standby gadgets to save energy and cash.

Clean upholstery and update furnishings Fire up the vacuum and get rid of all the dust that will have accumulated on your sofas and chairs. If you gave your home a seasonal makeover at the beginning of winter, now is the time to pack away the throws and thick curtains and replace them with light furnishings and colourful accessories. Wash your pillows, duvets and curtains and get someone to help you flip your mattress.

PROMOTIONPREMIER EYE CARE

With the latest styles and technology, Premier Eye Care is well equipped to make sure you see well and look good.

Celebrating 10 years at Hillsborough Barracks

ight is a precious gift that many of us take for granted.

Looking after your eyes is extremely important but many of us are guilty of not giving them the attention they deserve, wandering around squinting or with blurred vision. If that is you then now is the time to start looking after your eyesight, with Premier Eye Care.

Getting your eyes tested regularly is essential. For adults, reading problems are common and check-ups are recommended at least every two years. Undetected vision problems are one of the main reasons children can be misdiagnosed with learning difficulties, which is why Premier Eye Care starts testing from the age of four. Free check-ups are available to all those under 16 years of age and up to 19 if in full-time education.

At Premier Eye Care the latest techniques and technologies for eye examinations are used, including the revolutionary Icare ‘no puff of air’ glaucoma check for patients’ comfort – now available at all practices.

In addition to standard eye tests, Premier Eye Care also offers VDU (Visual Display Unit) tests for those who work with computers for a prolonged period of time. They are also registered to screen for diabetes using a digital camera.

Spectacles are now in vogue and long gone are the days of dreary nondescript frames. At Premier Eye Care you can choose from opulent or subtle, classic or fashionable frames from the likes of Hugo Boss, Gucci, Jimmy Choo, Prada, Armani, Versace and Ray-Ban, to name a few.

With a large selection of children’s frames – from good quality, free NHS frames to designers like Ray-Ban Kids, Kickers, Ted Baker, Ben 10, Disney Princesses and Bench Kids – there is something to suit the whole family.

There is a range of frames to suit all budgets, starting from just £10. Complete price spectacles start from £49, with designer spectacles by Morgan and Bench at just £99.95 and Armani and Ray-Ban from £149.95 – this includes basic single vision lenses. Prescription and

S

62 SIXER MAGAZINE

fashion sunglasses are also available.

And it’s not just frames on offer at Premier Eye Care. You’ll also find high-quality lenses from renowned market-leading manufacturers, including Nikon, Zeiss, Hoya and Essilor, to give that all-important combination of quality and comfort.

As an independent business, Premier Eye Care has complete freedom to supply all available frames and lenses specifically tailored to meet patients’ needs.

This autonomy also means they are able to offer flexible payment options. So whether you select long-term, monthly, daily or fashion contact lenses, you can choose a payment plan most suited to you – be it direct debit or spreading the cost with instalments.

Owner Mr Tanveer Hussain has been a qualified optometrist for over 13 years. He opened the first Premier Eye Care in March 2005 and now has five practices in total, dealing with both NHS and private patients.

Premier Eye Care’s local branch, based at Hillsborough Barracks, is celebrating its ten-year anniversary this month and the team are looking forward to the next decade of delivering quality care.

Mr Hussain said: “Our main focus is on customer service and we aim to provide a comfortable and friendly environment. We offer home visits for the elderly and disabled that can’t visit us, ensuring that they still receive the best possible care. The skilled team are also trained to repair, adjust and clean your spectacles.”

Seeing really is believing – so if you’re ready to start taking care of your eyesight, Premier Eye Care is the place to go.

HOME OWNERS AGED 50+ Protect your home from future Care Home fees Does this sound familiar? ”We have made our Wills leaving everything to each other, then our children”. These are known as ‘Mirror Wills’. Sounds reassuring enough doesn’t it? But your children could in fact end up with very little or even nothing at all. The main reason for this is your surviving spouse requiring residential care when you are no longer here to look after them. Although the possibility of care may seem a long way off, there are steps you should take now to protect your home.

Care costs: If your surviving spouse has to go into care, they will have to use all their assets to pay for their care until they get down to their last £14,250.

It is therefore not a good idea to leave your half share of the home in your Will to your surviving partner. The answer is to make a new Property Trust Will.

You may be unaware that legislation is already in place for you to take advantage of these types of Will.

APRIL KING are your local specialist and most of our clients come to us having already made standard ‘Mirror Wills’ Rather than leaving everything to each other, yourself and your spouse (or partner) leave your respective shares of your home to the children in Trust, but say that they cannot have it whilst the surviving spouse/partner is still alive. This half would then not be included in any future means test calculations. The surviving spouse is free to sell their share of the home, raise cash or move house. Your children are powerless to intervene, but simply have to wait for their inheritance, as they would have done under your old ‘Mirror Will’.

“We’ve worked hard and saved all our lives.

Why should the Local Authority get it all?”

Do you qualify? Property Trust Wills must be written whilst you are both still alive and in good mental health. Unfortunately, these are unsuitable if you are single or a surviving spouse who now owns the property outright. It is therefore important for couples to act now.

Our free information pack tells you all you need to know about protecting your home from future care charges and also includes details of our special ‘Bloodline Trust Wills’ which prevent your children and grandchildren from losing their inheritance due to a child’s divorce, remarriage or financial difficulties.

Supergran Ida conquers the skies for St Luke’s Hospice Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No…it’s Sheffield Supergran Ida Morris!

Daredevil Ida took to the skies at Brigg Airfield in Lincolnshire and raised almost £400 for St Luke’s Hospice.

Ida was inspired to write a bucket list and take up the challenge after her friend passed away at the hospice.

“My friend recently died at the hospice at the age of 38 and it made me realise that at the age of 62 there were still many things I wanted to do with my life,” says Ida, who lives in Wharncliffe Side and volunteers at the St Luke’s Hospice shop in Stocksbridge.

“The scariest thing on the list was sky diving, so I thought I’d get that out of the way first! The frightening moment is when the door goes up at 15,000 feet, but by then you have no choice.”

To maintain the Supergran status with her grandchildren, Ida is going to have to complete some more challenges on her list.

“I really want to drive an articulated lorry,” she laughs. “I’d like to take the controls of a Tiger Moth too and go up in a microlite aircraft.”

Anybody who wants to add to Ida’s skydive total can take their donation to the St Luke’s Stocksbridge shop.

McKee cards raise more than £13k for hospital arts Charity Christmas cards designed by Sheffield artist Pete McKee have raised thousands for a hospital arts programme and become his biggest seller yet.

Thousands of packs of the cards – depicting pooches Frank and Tony – were sold in the runup to Christmas, drawing in more than £13,000 for Artfelt, The Children’s Hospital Charity’s arts programme.

Artfelt transforms the hospital with bright art for children and puts on creative workshops for youngsters. Pete McKee is a patron of Artfelt and has been designing the charity’s Christmas cards for years.

The money will be used to build artwork into the fabric of the hospital’s new wing and help make the clinic more comfortable for the children who make 245,000 visits to the hospital each year.To donate to Artfelt, visit www.tchc.org.uk/artfelt/donate.

Meeting Peter Andre was ‘Insania' Two Slimming World consultants from Sheffield say meeting singer and TV presenter Peter Andre was the perfect way to get set for a super-slimming start to 2015.

Christine Beecroft and Emma Allott were thrilled to meet Peter when he co-hosted the Slimming World Awards in Birmingham.

Christine, who runs a Slimming World group at Hillsborough Tabernacle Church every Thursday, said meeting the singer was a wonderful way to round off a great 12 months for slimmers in Sheffield and kick start another successful year.

At the awards, Peter was full of praise for Slimming World consultants like Christine and Emma who have helped people to completely transform their lives.

Emma, who runs a Slimming World group at Wesley Hall, Crookes every Monday and St Columba Church, Crosspool every Wednesday, hopes even more people will benefit from making healthy lifestyle changes this year by joining one of Slimming World’s friendly groups.

Canine Spartan finds forever home A greyhound who took part in more than 200 races during his career is enjoying his retirement at a new home thanks to a loving Barnsley family.

Six-year-old Spartan is living with the Thomas family in Tankersley after they fell in love with him during a visit to the Sheffield Retired Greyhound Trust, where he had been living since his retirement from racing.

Before going to his new home, Spartan was awarded with a special coat by Owlerton Greyhound Stadium for taking part in more than 200 races during his successful career.

Throughout his time on the track, Spartan won 22 races and came second 40 times, but he now enjoys spending his time relaxing on the sofa and going out for leisurely strolls.

SIXERSPORT

MAKING THE GRADE

Footballer Daniel Eborall kick-started his career by trading in his dreams of playing at Sheffield Wednesday for a soccer scholarship in the United States. Fiona Barber reports. illsborough-born Daniel Eborall grew up playing football on Wadsley Common, a far cry from the wide open spaces and suffocating heat and humidity of Virginia, where he made his American debut aged 19. He now lives in Mississippi and plays for the William Carey Crusaders soccer team (football to us Brits) where he holds the record for the most goals scored in one season; an impressive 20 goals in 18 appearances.

The 24-year-old was raised on Far Lane and went to Wisewood Secondary School. Daniel says his passion for football was heavily influenced by his father, who worked one-on-one with him nearly every day growing up and has played an integral role in why he loves football.

Daniel and another local lad, Callum Harrison, particularly excelled as youngsters, but were very different in their playing style. “I seemed to score in every game I played in and he dominated the midfield.”

While Callum went on to play professionally including a spell at Sheffield Wednesday, Daniel became disillusioned by the sport. “I was scoring goals but never seemed to get an opportunity. You would think a club of Sheffield Wednesday’s stature would take notice of players who can score goals as they haven’t ever really produced a striker from within the academy, but you know – that’s life, and I think it’s worked out for the better,” he says thoughtfully.

After realising England wasn’t where he would get his break Daniel decided to broaden his horizons and began researching

H

football scholarships in America. “I went through an agency (Pass4Soccer) who assessed me and took recommendations from ex-coaches. I started to receive scholarship offers from all around the country and finally accepted one in Virginia.”

Moving thousands of miles away at the age of 19 can be daunting, but his family were extremely supportive. “They knew it was an opportunity too good for me to turn down, so they made the transition fairly easy. I think my dad would have killed me if I had come back home!”

Although he wasn’t particularly nervous about the move itself, the stifling weather conditions were a concern. He worried what kind of effect the heat would have on his fitness and performance, but after being thrown in at the deep end and playing his first American game in 40-degree heat, things could only get easier.

Daniel spent a year at Averett University, where he played for the Averett Cougars before transferring to Lake Erie College, Ohio.“I spent another year there and won many accolades for soccer, which enabled me to transfer for a third and final time to the William Carey Crusaders, a team that is ranked number four in the nation.”

Sport plays a huge part in university life here. The team is typically American in that crowds of students flock the stands to support players with banners. It’s also very multicultural and is made up of players from all over the world including Brazil, Germany, Spain, Portugal, France, Algeria and Ivory Coast to name just a few.

074 - 075 Sixer Mar15_Layout 1 02/03/2015 16:19 Page 2

The season runs from August to November but the more successful a team is, the longer its season lasts. “We could play up to three games in one week, including back to back games. It makes professionals seem like they’ve got it easy because we’ve got classes, homework and exams to worry about as well!”

On a typical day Daniel attends classes in the morning and after lunch he heads over to the locker rooms, which rivals any elite

teams’ around Europe. “We have HD televisions on the wall to look over mistakes in previous games, assess our performances and compare everyone’s statistics, while discussing the scouting report on our next opponents. We train 2.45-4.30pm, then I see my personal physiotherapist. I’ve had a lot of bad luck with injuries in recent years.”

Like most, Daniel’s scholarship includes a deal made with the university, where he plays for their football team and in return they pay for his education and living expenses. While players can’t be paid outright, as it affects their playing eligibility – many universities find a way around this – for example, Daniel is the manager of the on-campus gymnasium, which requires him to work zero hours per week. Players must also attend all classes and achieve at least a C to be eligible to play.

Currently, Daniel is studying marketing and business and will graduate in May. He lives in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, in the student hub of the city, with two team mates, including an English goalkeeper who used to play for Tottenham, an American who is captain of the reserves and his girlfriend from Dallas.

As Daniel’s scholarship will soon end he has some big decisions to make about what the future will hold. There seems to be plenty options on the table though. “I have a pre-contract agreement with Seacoast United, a team just outside of Boston for the professional development league (basically the major league for younger players for the summer). I really want to do a Masters Degree in business, and I have a scholarship offer at William Carey to become an assistant coach too.”

Whatever the future holds, Daniel plans to stay in America for the next few years at least – although he makes sure to visit home every now and again, usually at Christmas.

If there’s anything to take from his story it’s inspiration, for when opportunities aren’t being handed to you on a plate. A bit of digging in the right place, hard work and talent can go a long way.

Next time you’re strolling past Wadsley Common keep your eyes peeled – you never know; you could be looking at the next worldclass football or soccer player.

PROMOTIONJOHN FAIREST FUNERAL DIRECTORS

With a caring reputation stretching over 120 years, John Fairest are well placed to make organising a funeral as stress-free as possible. osing a loved one is perhaps the hardest thing any of us will ever have to go through. When the time comes to say ‘goodbye’, we want to know that their final wishes are respected and that organising their funeral will be as stressfree as possible.

That’s exactly what you’ll find at John Fairest Funeral Home.

With a team of dedicated staff and relaxed, welcoming premises, they’re well-equipped to help you plan the right funeral for your loved one. In fact, they’ve been doing exactly that for over 120 years.

The business was started by Sam Fairest in 1890 and, since then, they’ve earned a reputation as one of Sheffield’s most caring and compassionate funeral homes. The traditional company prides itself on offering a professional service. However, they are not afraid to move with the times and embrace more modern funerals that are tailored to the family’s requests.

John Fairest can accommodate any type of funeral and they are already accustomed to dealing with unusual requests. Over the past few years, there have been big changes to how people plan their funeral, with many wanting a more personal, unique service. The company has seen a noticeable increase in people opting for willow or woollen coffins or choosing an unusual hearse, such as a truck or camper van.

The established funeral directors are well versed in offering traditional services or going the extra mile to tailor one to the client’s wishes. The staff at John Fairest stress that there is no right or wrong way to organise a funeral – everyone is different and they cater for the individual. They can provide a full service, including funeral, memorials, catering and hospitality.

Their function room can seat around 50 people and there is a smaller room for more intimate gatherings.

The funeral home underwent a major refurbishment in April last year, which saw the whole building ‘open up’ into a brighter, more welcoming space. The chapel was extended and the building now has a more modern look. The chapel is not tied to any faith so they can perform most types of service.

Moving with the times, the new Treasured Memories collection offers a range of personal keepsakes that will keep your loved one close to you. The beautiful sterling silver jewellery includes necklaces, bracelets, cufflinks and pendants

that capture an impression of your loved one’s fingerprint, handprint or footprint. Each piece of jewellery is handcrafted and can include an inscription of up to ten characters.

The funeral home has also launched a new website with upgraded features. You can now view all their brochures and packages online as well as complete the full prepayment process from home. Prepayment is a financially sound investment as the current price stays the same and there is nothing more to pay in the years to come, providing the plan remains the same. Of course, these options are also available to talk through in person at John Fairest if you would rather discuss plans face-to-face.

John Fairest can also arrange natural woodland burials if desired and their skilled team can help with the replacing, cleaning and inscription of memorials – meaning the lasting tribute to your loved one will always look its best.

Have you been caught on camera?

It’s a model collection!

The Kaleidoscope team would like to thank all their models for their hard work in making the salon’s recent photo-shoot another successful one. Their 2015 collection is probably the best yet, bringing inspiration to both men and women of all ages and personalities.

KALEIDOSCOPE Pub celebrates Claire and her team at The Cock Inn, Oughtibridge, have been awarded Punch Area Pub of the Year. Claire would like to take this opportunity to thank all her customers for their continued support. Here's to another brilliant year!

Award for Bradfield Brewery Bradfield Brewery have been awarded LocAle Brewery of the Year 2014/15 by Castle Rock Brewery in association with the New Barrack Tavern, who permanently stock Bradfield beers.

Welcome To My Office – Views from the roofs of Sheffield S6 Simon Slater of Slater’s Aerial Services has a different ‘office view’ to most of us – a rooftop vista of Sheffield. But can you guess exactly where in the S6 postcode area he was when he took these photographs? To find out, follow @SlatersAerials and @SixerRMC on Twitter – the answer will be revealed at the end of the month.

Congratulations to those of you who guessed where Simon was in our January issue – Codrophenia aka Jim’s Chippy on Walkley Bank Road.
