EDITOR’S NOTE W

elcome to the February Issue of Surrey Rocks Magazine.

We are so pleased to announce the Surrey Awards 2024 are back! The Surrey Awards were set up last year to celebrate the hard work and excellence of local businesses that go above and beyond to make this the best home county there is. It is great to give recognition back to these hard-working businesses that strive all year to give you the best possible service… wouldn’t you agree?!

Check out pages 30-35 and make sure to vote for your favourites as you ‘The Great Surrey Public’ decide on the eventual Winners & Highly Commended, to be announced at our star-studded Surrey Awards gala on May 17th at Sandown Park Racecourse. Plus, we interview the Winners from the Surrey Awards 2023 on what it was like to scoop the coveted Award in their category. See pages 41-47 to read the ‘2023 Winners Stories’.

Elsewhere, we delve deep into what the press are dubbing ‘Britain’s Answer to Beverly Hills’ aka Elmbridge, where Amanda Holden has just bought a £7 million home, forsaking a move to LA like fellow ‘Britain’s Got Talent’ judge Simon Cowell. Mulling a move? Elmbridge has it all; great schools, restaurants, countryside and of course, celebs including Antonio Banderas, Cliff Richard and John Terry, to shamelessly name (drop) a few!

With Valentine’s Day looming, we bring you guides in ‘For Him’ and ‘For Her’ with handy gift and date suggestions for your better half. And where to go “out, out”? Check out our ‘Calendar’ and ‘What’s On’ pages to see what’s launching and the best events on in Surrey.

And last but not least, we think we’ve raised the bar in our ‘Wedded Bliss Fashion Shoot’ this month on pages 58-63, with gorgeous attire from Dream Dresses and Howard & Co shot at the beautiful Foxhills in Ottershaw by Malvin Hobbs Photography. We hope you enjoy this fabulous February Issue.

LUVBILTONG LAUNCH IN GUILDFORD

Surrey-based Luvbiltong is launching a kiosk in Guildford's Friary Centre from March 25th offering delicious, healthy and protein rich snacks. Originating from South Africa (the home of biltong), Luvbiltong’s founder, Michael Roberts, had the idea to start the company after completing a 106km hike in under 27 hours and realising the importance of having the right snacks to sustain endurance sports and outdoor adventures. After testing hundreds of recipes, and using the best produce from small local farmers, the company came up with their mouth-watering range of snacks: Beef Biltong, Beef Sausage and Chilli/ Plain Sticks with more varieties to come. To try these delicious, grab-and-go snacks see their website www.luvbiltong.co.uk.

celebrities everyone’s talking about...

KYLE ADMITS TO “IDIOT CHOICES" Manchester City and England player Kyle Walker has apologised to his wife Annie Kilner after fathering a second child with reality TV star Lauryn Goodman.

Defender Kyle, 33, said in a recent interview he had made "idiot choices" and needed to own up to his mistakes.

"What I've done is horrible and I take full responsibility. The only person to blame is me. I have roles and responsibilities that I'm aware of, and I've made stupid choices. But I need to own up to my mistakes - I owe it to everyone," he told The Sun. Kyle has been living on his own in his £3 million mansion since his wife Annie left him last month. He admits he has known Lauryn since his early 20s but despite her claims, he insisted that there had never been a fully-fledged relationship.

In April 2020, Lauryn gave birth to a son, and later publicly named Kyle as the dad. Her daughter was born three months ago and she claims Kyle is the Dad, a fact he has not refuted. His public denial to their relationship, however, has caused Lauryn to brand the Manchester City player as “deluded”.

Kyle has also fathered three children with wife Annie, who is pregnant with their fourth child. This really couldn’t get any messier.

BOBBY BRAZIER CAUGHT IN PANTS! 'Strictly Come Dancing' star Bobby Brazier was reportedly seen knocking on his winning costar Ellie Leach's hotel door dressed only in his underwear, as speculation hots up the pair are dating.

The duo, who met during their stint on the popular BBC show last year, have been touring for the 'Strictly Live Tour' and after a late-night party in January, fellow guests at the hotel they were staying in were shocked to see Bobby, 20, knocking on Ellie's hotel room door, 22, without his clothes on! A source told the The Sun, "Bobby was in our corridor knocking on Ellie's door after the late-night bash. He was clearly not shy about being in the buff as we were making our way down to breakfast."

Ellie and Bobby have yet to admit to the romance, although fans are convinced they are dating as pictures of them cosying up on the tour bus have also emerged as well as 'secret date nights' the two have allegedly enjoyed of late. Watch this space.

NEWS

BRAD PITT : AGE-DEFYING OR EXTRA HELP? Brad Pitt, the renowned Hollywood heartthrob, has found himself at the centre of swirling rumours regarding a potential facelift. Fans and entertainment enthusiasts alike have been abuzz with speculation, dissecting Pitt's recent public appearances and scrutinising his seemingly age-defying looks.

The speculations gained traction after the 60-year-old actor appeared on the red carpet for a high-profile event, showcasing a remarkably youthful and refreshed appearance. Social media platforms have since been flooded with discussions and debates, with fans divided on whether Pitt has undergone a discreet facelift or if his youthful glow is simply a result of impeccable genetics and a healthy lifestyle.

While representatives for Brad Pitt have not officially addressed the rumours, experts in the field of cosmetic surgery have chimed in on the matter. Dr. Olivia Harper, a prominent plastic surgeon, suggests that the actor's facial features appear subtly altered, prompting speculation about the possibility of a facelift or other non-invasive cosmetic procedures.

It's not uncommon for celebrities to face such rumours, especially in an industry that places a premium on youthful appearances. However, some fans argue that Pitt's alleged facelift, if true, raises questions about societal expectations and pressures within the entertainment industry, where ageism remains a prevalent issue.

As the debate continues to unfold, it remains to be seen whether Brad Pitt will break his silence on the matter. Until then, the actor's alleged facelift will undoubtedly remain a hot topic of discussion, with fans eagerly awaiting any confirmation or denial from the Hollywood icon himself. Facelift or not we can all agree Brad is still a hottie!

STONE DATING DUDS NOT STUDS Hollywood actress Sharon Stone's search for love through online dating apps such as Tinder and Bumble has come a cropper!

Like most millennials already know, a lot of people on these apps don't actually live up to their profiles! Stone, aged 65, said in an interview with The Times she matched with one guy who she later found out was a convicted felon and another who she said was "clearly 20,000 heroin injections later than the picture he sent me!"

Stone said she is looking for a life partner and she doesn't have a set list of criteria, but she'll know it when she feels it. 'Basic Instinct' actress Stone has been married twice and has three children and is said to be in "no rush" to find love. We sincerely hope any Valentine's dates she lines up this month are with a more honest batch of more desired suitors!

ROYAL HEALTH SCARES King Charles and Kate Middleton, have both been making headlines, as they were admitted to London hospitals to have scheduled operations last month.

Our new King spent 2 days in hospital in January, having booked in for surgery to treat an enlarged prostate. King Charles III broke Royal protocol to make his health problem public as a way of sending a message to other men to get their prostates checked.

Well done Charles!

The Princess of Wales spent 13 days in a London hospital following abdominal surgery and will be off Royal duties until at least after Easter. The exact nature of her surgery is not known but it has been said it is not cancer-related. The Prince of Wales has been looking after their three children; George, Charlotte and Louis and is said to be coping well without his wife at his side, as he is a real "hands on" Dad.

RECIPE TAGLIATELLE ALLA BOLOGNESE Usually Italian recipes are kept secret and passed down through the generations. However, celebrity TV chef Gino D´Acampo has revealed his grandfather´s tastiest Bolognese recipe so you can create authentic Italian cuisine in the comfort of your own home.

INGREDIENTS (serves 6) • 2 tablespoons olive oil • 1 onion, very finely diced • 2 celery sticks, very finely diced • 1 large carrot, very finely diced • 500g minced pork • 500g minced beef • 50ml red wine • 50ml milk • 4 tablespoons tomato purée • 300ml passata • 400ml chicken or vegetable stock • 500g fresh tagliatelle Parmesan shavings, to serve (optional) DIRECTIONS Heat half the oil in a large sauté pan and fry the onion, celery and

carrot for 5 minutes until soft and starting to colour.

While the vegetables are cooking, put all the meat in a large bowl, pour over the remaining olive oil and crumble the meat between your fingertips.

Add the meat to the pan and fry until brown – around 5 minutes.

Deglaze the pan with the red wine and allow to simmer for a couple of minutes, then add the milk.

Simmer for 2 minutes before stirring in the tomato purée, passata and stock.

Simmer gently for 3 hours until reduced and thickened. Once cooked,

remove from the hob, season with salt and pepper then cover with a lid and leave for 20 minutes – you do not want the sauce to be boiling hot when you serve it.

When ready to serve, bring a large pan of water to the boil and season generously with salt.

Add the pasta to the pan and cook for 2–3 minutes or until just cooked.

Drain the pasta, then return to the pan with the sauce and toss to combine.

Serve in bowls with a few Parmesan shavings scattered over, if you like.

Enjoy!

WINE MATCH A full bodied and robust red wine like the Montepulciano D’Abruzzo ‘Tralcetto’ Zaccagnini would really compliment a Bolognese based dish like this. The freshness from the red fruits of the Montepulciano as well as its optimum acidity, refined symphony of spices supported by a resolute tannin that makes it the perfect companion.

Baci di Sangiovese, with intense aromas of cherries, violets and berries with a hint of liquorice, is another great wine choice for this meaty, rich bolognese sauce. Although this Tuscan variety has high tannins and acidity, after taking a swig of it with a tomato-based dish, it will allow you to really savour the earthy and juicy, berry goodness.

NEWS MOVIE REVIEW

ALBUM REVIEW

BOOK REVIEW

ARGYLLE

THIS IS ME...NOW

‘Layer Cake’ director Matthew Vaughn is back with a thrilling, spy comedy film that is set to entertain all ages and audiences.

With a stellar cast consisting of ‘Superman’ actor Henry Cavill, ‘Jurassic Park’s Bryce Dallas Howard, singer Dua Lipa, ‘Pulp Fiction’s Samuel L. Jackson, 'Breaking Bad's Bryan Cranston and 'Home Alone's Catherine O’ Hara - this movie will enthrall this month.

The plot centres around Elly Conway, played by Bryce Dallas Howard, who is an introverted spy novelist that seldom leaves her home. That is until, she is unexpectedly drawn into the real world of espionage when the plots of her books get a little too close to the activities of a sinister underground syndicate.

When undercover spy Aiden (played by 'Green Mile' actor Sam Rockwell) shows up to save her from being kidnapped or killed (or both!), Elly and her beloved cat Alfie (CGI’d) are plunged into a covert world where nothing, and no one, is what it seems.

This movie is being described as a modern day 'Romancing The Stone' and covers so many different genres in one outing. Spy, thriller, romance, comedy and action... you'd be hard pushed to find someone who will not warm to this latest Vaughn masterpiece.

'Argylle' written for the screen by 'Wonderwoman' and 'La La Land's Jason Fuchs, with a 12 Certificate, is being released in cinemas on February 2nd.

'This Is Me... Now' is the upcoming ninth studio album by the Grammyaward winning, US singer Jennifer Lopez.

It marks her first studio album in over ten years, since the release of 'A.K.A' back in 2014. However, Lopez has stayed in the limelight having released singles with Cardi B and Skrillex, as well as her collaborations with Maluma and LinManuel Miranda. She also performed at the Super Bowl halftime show with Shakira in 2020 and has bought out new films including 'Hustlers' and 'Marry Me' in her 10-year break from releasing albums.

'This Is Me... Now' is scheduled to be released on February 16th, by Nuyorican Productions and BMG Rights Management. The new album is also considered to be the long-awaited sequel to Lopez's third ever studio album called 'This Is Me... Then' which came out back in 2002.

The new 13-track, full-length 2024 album includes a song called “Dear Ben Pt. II" which we can obviously assume is a sequel to her 2002 song “Dear Ben” about her husband, Ben Affleck. The couple first married in 2003 after meeting on the set of film 'Gigi' they separated in 2004 only to rekindle their romance and marry again in 2022.

Lopez will also release the accompanying 'This Is Me...Now:The Film' on Prime Video, on February 16th (the same date as her new album release) which is being described as "a narrative-driven reflection on her journey to find love."

The lead single from 'This Is Me...

Now' called "Can't Get Enough Now" dropped on January 10th and is a beatsy, dancefloor filler of a track, that has set the tone for the new album riding high in the charts.

HOW A GANGSTA RAPPER MADE ME A BETTER MOM Stacey Jackson is an award-winning singer, songwriter, entrepreneur, TV presenter, mother of four and now author. She became an inspiration for stay-at-home mums when she shot to fame, having launched her music career at the age 40. Following the chart success of her debut single, Stacey went on to release four albums and over a dozen singles, recorded a track ‘Live It Up’ with legendary rapper Snoop Dogg.

Now in her fifties, Stacey is back with a new album and semi-autobiographical book, 'How A Gangsta Rapper Made Me A Better Mom'.

Embark on this inspiring journey with lead character Stephanie Bloom as she evolves from a dedicated stay-athome mum into the sensational Star Roberts, captivating stages worldwide.

When tragedy strikes, thrusting her into managing her late husband’s prestigious restaurants, Stephanie has to make some difficult choices. Amid the chaos, her journey is buoyed by a solid yet comedic support network, adding heart to the uproarious tale.

Success beckons when the lifechanging opportunity to record with "The Most Famous Rapper in The World” arises, but the internal struggle intensifies: should she prioritise her family and preserve her husband's legacy or risk it all for her passion? Or, can she juggle it all?

Brace yourself for Stephanie's journey of resilience, out on Amazon on February 14th, with the message "it’s never too late to live your dreams."

As our cover star Stacey reveals, "The book is part autobiographical, part fiction. It’s about a woman trying to make it in the music industry, so it does really come from the heart. I had to run it by my kids first as there were so many mentions of life with them in it. They all had their comments but were mostly all OK with it! It’s a very inspiring and fun book that I hope will be well received."

The TV star is said to be "over the moon" with her new Surrey home, setting her back a whopping £7 million, after selling her London home for £5 million. She was mulling a move to the US, like fellow judge Simon Cowell, but changed her mind after hearing about Elmbridge, which is home to footballers, music and movie stars. Amanda joins the likes of Antonio Banderas, Elton John, Tom Jones, Cliff Richard,

An insider said of Amanda's move, "Only the most wealthy and ambitious people tend to be able to live there and she'll certainly be in good company with bankers, footballers and rock stars. Amanda is used to life in the city and a move to Surrey means she'll be able to live more of a semi-rural existence without giving up the convenient commute into the capital where most of her work takes her."

We caught up with Surrey's premier estate agent Doug Parks from Doug Parks Property Nest to find out what all the fuss is about! "The Surrey borough of Elmbridge is often referred to as the UK’s answer to Beverly Hills - although the average hours of sunshine may be less! - it’s still easy to see why. It sits to the west of London and within easy commutable distance. The A3 and M25 trunk roads provide easy access to The City, south coast and international airports such as Heathrow and Gatwick.

Family life is enhanced with fabulous walks through the common at Esher and Oxshott, historical sites such as Hampton Court Palace and Painshill Park, an array of excellent health and tennis clubs along with some of the very best golf courses in the country. With the River Thames

flowing west through East Molesey, Walton and Weybridge, it’s easy for weekends to be taken up with beautiful walks and a riverside pub lunch.

If shopping is on the agenda then little boutiques can be found in the local towns or more high street and designer outlets in nearby Richmond, Guildford or Kingston Upon Thames. For evening entertainment there’s a choice of theatres, cinemas, country pubs or top restaurants such as The Ivy in Cobham.

In such a delightful area to raise a family schooling is obviously important. Elmbridge has such an array of outstanding local schools for state and private routes and is one of the main reasons for the popularity of the Borough. ‘The Golden Triangle’, as the area around Esher, Cobham and Weybridge is sometimes called, offers some truly wonderful places to live. The private estates such as St George's Hill are known around the world and offer seclusion and privacy to the owners that choose to live here.

As you can imagine, with all of the above on offer it doesn’t come cheap and explains why so many celebrities, singers, actors, sports stars and business chiefs choose Elmbridge as their home. Many properties on the exclusive estates sell for 8 figure sums with a number sold discreetly to ultra high net worth individuals. The average sale price of a detached home in some of the towns is £1,200,000 - £1,500,000.

As we move through 2024 I think the reputation and allure of the Borough of Elmbridge as a fantastic place to live and raise a family will only continue to grow.

MEET THE MAKER

T

his month we got to catch up with Peter Farrell, founder & CEO, of the award-winning Epsom Social, Surrey's first and only food hall.

Q: So Peter can you tell us how you started Epsom Social?

Peter: So it was during Covid, I had a consultation agency supporting early stage start-ups in hospitality and one of our clients had a street food market in Epsom Square and I was introduced to the owner of our building. We decided to do a deal to launch a London style food hall and then we collaborated on getting six of our best contacts and vendors together and created a merging of food, drink and chill! We have local artists, musicians and quiz nights – just creating a cool creative space for guests – a balance of food, drink, fun and that chill side of things!

Q: Your background is in hospitality having worked in top tier Michelin starred restaurants, can you tell us about that?

Peter: I knew from the age of 7 I wanted to be in hospitality.

I have a deep passion for food and hosting! I went to study culinary arts, did an MSc in Business and Hospitality and after that I spent 10 years in Ireland, Australia, London and the South of France. I was lucky enough to work for restaurants including the Michelin starred restaurants, The Fat Duck, Wild Honey and Arbutus, so more high-end fine dining. I then launched my own street food businesses and restaurant in London, so I have worked in most areas of hospitality!

Q: What are your plans for Epsom Social in 2024?

Peter: Tonnes of stuff! Comedy Nights and Business Networking every month, Epsom Fashion Week is coming back again – bigger and better! Hopefully we are going to do a Food Festival in the Summer. We have an exciting new food concept coming in February and we are developing and extending our cocktail lists. So loads of exciting things happening. For a detailed guide on events, follow @ epsomsocial on Instagram, Facebook and of course Surrey Rocks Magazine to stay in the know.

Q: You have won lots of exciting industry awards, can you tell our readers more?

Peter: So we won a Surrey Award for Best Newcomer, a Time & Leisure Award and a Go Epsom Award. We are nominated again in the Surrey Awards this year which is super exciting. It's great to get recognition from local people and businesses as we are genuinely community focused! A lot of businesses say that but we really do care!

The Seven Stars Pub in Ripley has undergone a huge interior and exterior makeover and opened its doors to the public on November 28th. The popular pub has been taken over by The Running Mare in Cobham owners, Adrian & Ollie, who have spent the last 2 months renovating the manor building, dating back to 1536, to get it back to its former glory.

The Seven Stars has long been one of the landmark bars in Ripley. The new owners are really excited to turn The Seven Stars into a destination for all ages and tastes and make it a vibrant social hub for the Ripley community and beyond.

Whilst Adrian comes from a hospitality background – he has run a number of successful pubs and bars before the Seven Stars – he spent a large part of his life supporting and travelling with his younger brother, the racing driver Julian Bailey (aka The Stig!), on the route to Formula One.

RESTAURANT REVIEW

THE JAPANESE GRILL INTRODUCTION The Japanese Grill at Beaverbrook is a gem in Surrey's culinary scene. The elegant menu of delicately flavoured Sushi, Sashimi and Nigiri with the finest cuts of meat and fish from the Josper Grill, make for a remarkable dining experience.

The combination of impeccable service, a refined ambience and outstanding cuisine makes this a must-visit destination. Headed up by the internationally renowned chef, Wojciech Popow, who has worked with Gordon Ramsay, top London nightspot Yashin and was awarded Sushi Chef of the Year, ensures the cuisine and

84 SURREYROCKS | ISSUE 30

creativeness of the dishes at The Japanese Grill is second to none.

The menu boasts a diverse selection of traditional Japanese dishes with a modern twist. There are exquisite 8-Course Tasting Menus, that can be ordered with or without wine from as little as £95 per person. Speciality dishes include Turbot Nigiri with Wood Ants and Marigold Oil alongside seasonal favourites such as the Acorn-Fed Iberico Pork, which is roasted and smoked over Japanese Cedar Tree (pictured here) served on a decorative platter with a bonsai tree, a great touch!

For this February review we opted for The Bento Boxes (served Tuesday - Thursday lunch priced at £45 for adults and £25 for children) and includes Miso Soup, Spinach Salad and Sushi

RESTAURANT REVIEW

Sashimi alongside other delectable favourites. Great for those looking for a quick and cost-effective lunchtime treat. Our experience at The Japanese Grill was 5 star all the way, just like the award-winning Hotel, Spa and Restaurant on the sprawling Beaverbrook Estate. Read on to find out more.

STEEPED IN HISTORY Arriving at Beaverbrook’s The House where The Japanese Grill is located, you are instantly wowed by the grandiose building with its beautiful white stoned architecture and perfectly maintained gardens, overlooking picture perfect views of the Surrey Hills.

Beaverbrook was once home to celebrated publisher and backstage politician, Lord Beaverbrook (for which the estate is aptly named after) and was interestingly the part-time war residence for Prime Minister, Sir Winston Churchill. During the Second World War, Churchill appointed Lord Beaverbrook as Minister of Aircraft Production, hence the nod to the wartime heritage located throughout the grand estate including the lone Spitfire statue and plaque bearing Lord Beaverbrook’s name.

OUR EXPERIENCE As you walk through the hallowed halls of the The House at Beaverbrook to The Dining Room, all the staff are friendly, courteous and mostly dressed in Beaverbrook’s signature cricket jumpers with the famous WW2 inspired spitfire emblem.

RESTAURANT REVIEW

Our helpful and attentive waitress on the day, Anya, showed us to our table where we sat with the beautiful sweeping Surrey Hills in front of us, a roaring log fire and walls adorned with beautiful butterfly pictures. After choosing our Bento Box orders, our Sommelier Antonio selected the most beautiful crisp, smooth white wine, La Meshua, that perfectly accompanied the Japanese cuisine.

86 SURREYROCKS | ISSUE 30

RESTAURANT REVIEW

We started with the Salted Edamame and Padron Peppers; a delightful fusion of classic Marigold Miso and Hanaho flavours that left our tastbuds tingling.

The Miso Soup was delicious; served with a homemade tofu foam with the spitfire emblem perfectly crafted on top. The Spinach Salad was glazed with Sesame Meso and served with Crispy Leeks – the dish was so fresh and full of flavour – you could tell the vegetables were picked fresh for the meal that day.

One diner opted for The Black Cod Miso; a signature dish at The Japanese Grill, which was standout. The cod was perfectly cooked, flaky and infused with a rich, sweet sticky glaze that was simply divine. Our other diner selected the Hay-Smoked Baby Chicken

which was served with Shiso Meso and Lemon, which was so tender and cooked to perfection.

There was also 2 Corn on the Cob pieces, lightly coated in garlic, a generous helping of Soft Shell Crab in tempura batter with a tantalising spicy sauce accompaniment and delectable garnishes. All in all, 6 tantalising sections of the Bento Boxes were finished, we didn’t so much as leave a grain of rice, it was that good!

And as the Winter sun came out toward the end of the meal, we realised we were sitting next to a very famous Surrey-based Tennis legend which again reminded us what an ace service we were getting!

For dessert, we shared a trio of Mochi Ice cream, Green Tea, Vanilla and Caramel, which were encased in a succulent sweet sticky rice pastry which - like the Bento Boxes - really didn’t last long on our table!

IN SUMMARY The whole experience was really a touch above any other fine dining establishment in Surrey. We would highly recommend a visit for a business lunch or just to share with friends or family. It really was “Game, Set and Match” to Beaverbrook’s The Japanese Grill.

OWNER OF GORGEOUS NETWORKS THE DATING GROUP THAT INCLUDES: CLUB GORGEOUS – THE UK’S FIRST HYBRID INTRODUCTIONS SERVICE. AN AFFORDABLE MATCHING SERVICE DESIGNED TO SIT IN BETWEEN DATING APPS AND EXPENSIVE MATCHMAKING SERVICES. OFFERING CLIENTS SOME OF THE MORE PERSONAL ASPECTS THEY MIGHT EXPECT FROM A MATCHMAKING SERVICE AND AT THE SAME TIME ERADICATING THE UNCERTAINTY AND DISAPPOINTMENT THAT OFTEN COMES WITH USING SOME DATING APPS. PLUS, THE DATING DIRECTORY - AN INDEPENDENT, FREE - WHAT CAN BEST BE DESCRIBED AS A DATING COMPARISON SITE, TO HELP SINGLES NAVIGATE THEIR WAY AROUND THE DATING SECTOR. THE WEBSITE LISTS ALL THE BEST AND LATEST DATING APPS, MATCHMAKING SERVICES AND DATING EVENTS ALL AROUND THE UK. IT IS REGULARLY UPDATED WITH NEWS AND INFORMATION AND GIVES SINGLES OF ALL AGES A CANVASS TO EXPLORE AND DISCOVER THE BEST ROUTE POSSIBLE FOR THEM TO FOLLOW.

It’s no secret how dramatically the dating sector has evolved over the last 25 years. Rarely were dating services even talked about in the media before the noughties, fast track to 2024 and we are looking at a global multi-billiondollar industry.

When online dating sites started to emerge in the 90’s most people were really sceptical, rarely would anyone admit that they had met their partner via a dating service. In those days there were a handful of very traditional matchmaking services, mostly used by older divorcees and the next best thing would be the classified ads at the back of the newspapers. Most ads would consist of abbreviated messages WLTM (Would Like to Meet) someone with a GSOH (Good Sense of Humour) etc.

NG DIRECTORY

When my company Gorgeous Networks, first launched Speed Dating in 2000 it completely disrupted the industry. The media suddenly had a thirst for writing dating articles. Gradually, using a dating site or going to a singles dating event became more and more popular.

There was always still a bit of a stigma attached to seeking help finding love, right up until 2013 when the first dating apps started to emerge, now days it is rare to find anyone who is single who has not tried dating apps.

However, once again singles are shifting in their preferences of where to spend their time and money to seek a meaningful relationship. Over the last five years, probably because singles have increasingly become completely disillusioned with their dating journey via dating apps – the fake profiles, the scammers, the lack of intention to organise an IRL (In real life) meeting – matchmaking services have suddenly become massively popular.

In the early noughties there were only a handful of ‘dating agencies’ – today there are over a hundred and that number is increasing month on month. Many agencies are small and targeted to specific locations or age demographics, however some have grown to become national and even multinational global businesses.

This is the time of the year when most singles reflect on their situation and make a plan for tackling their dating journey. So the www.the-datingdirectory.com has done a roundup of the best matchmaking services around the UK.

London and South

 www.mutualattraction.co.uk Mutual Attraction has been established for many years which gives clients that certainty of a quality service. The age range is typically 30’s through to 50’s made up of busy professionals. Bright, interesting, and engaging people all with something to offer. The fees are midrange.

Mutual Attraction’s sister company ‘Your Matchmaker’ – which covers areas such as Sussex, Surrey, Southwest, Berkshire, Hampshire, Bristol & Bath – means the agency have an extensive private client network. Combined with their matchmaking expertise Mutual Attraction is one of the standout London and Southern agencies.

Mutual Attraction has built up a sound reputation as an agency that will support all your needs during your journey. Their membership includes completing a profiling questionnaire in addition to information from your initial consultation to provide the basis for your personal profile which will be shown to a compatible match. They also use both Myers Briggs and Helen Fisher personality tests to facilitate your own self-understanding and enable relationship development.

North West of England  www.Intro-nw.com

Intro Northwest have been established for many years as one of the North Wests premier and busiest agencies. Clients typically range from 30’s through to 70’s and fees are extremely reasonable given the level of service. The INTRO NW style is personal, friendly and very professional, the agency make you feel completely comfortable and therefore able to ask anything.

Everyone is met personally or via a video call.

For singles whose time is precious, that are seeking to meet real, like-minded people this is the North West’s ‘go to’ agency. So often people that may live outside of the big cities, feel that all their friends are in relationships and that they simply don't have the opportunity to meet new single professional people. Especially if they have children and/or a busy career or perhaps elderly parents to care for.

A matchmaking agency such as Intro Northwest can make a huge difference to someone’s life. Knowing you have someone in your corner who is constantly on the lookout for compatible matches gives you space to actually enjoy your dating experience instead of it feeling like a chore.

Intro NW covers locations such as Manchester, Liverpool, Cheshire and North Wales, they have an extensive network and their Elite membership packages include a headhunting service for clients who have a niche criteria.

Yorkshire - And the North  www.YLIntroductions.co.uk When Yvette Langton bounced into the matchmaking sector five years ago, launching YL Introductions she made a big impact.

Especially in her residing location of York. Yvette has a warm, empathetic and friendly nature that instantly makes her clients feel at ease. She wraps a nurturing arm around the shoulders of all her members and guides them towards like-minded and appealing matches. Word of mouth has expanded rapidly and so has the agency’s reach; she now has an extensive network of clients not just all over the northern territory but much further afield too including London.

One of the most appealing aspects of YL Introductions is that all members have access to the most glamorous exclusive high-end events, as Yvette has created an ‘in’ to some of the UK’s top event organisers. Which means members have the added opportunity of not only being personally introduced to a potential suitor from Yvette’s large network of very appealing singles, but also additionally, can meet people at exclusive sporting, classic car, dinner and celebrity events, that Yvette also personally attends to ensure everyone feels comfortable and included. Members typically fall in the age range of late 20’s – to early 60’s, all clients are personally met and vetted in a lengthy

96 SURREYROCKS | ISSUE 30

consultation to understand what they are looking for in a future partner.

Though this agency definitely falls in the ‘high end’ category in terms of members, the fees are quite reasonable given the access to such exclusive events and the very personal service the delightful Irish born founder extends.

National -Across the whole of the UK  www.thematchmaker.uk

Multi award winning matchmaking agency Matchmaker UK entered the dating sector several years ago. As one of the more recent matchmakers their founder Lara Besbrode has made a huge impact to the industry and has expanded from an office in Manchester to offices all over the UK. Enquiries first step on their journey to find lasting love and fulfilment will be met with a warm welcome and discovery call with a member of the Matchmaker UK matchmaking team.

The Matchmaker UK rely on a 30-point profiling system to ensure a reliable profile, strongly positioning them to recommend suitable matches, guided by leading psychology-based matchmaking principles.

The Matchmaker UK fees are mid-range, they do also offer VIP packages.

National and International – Servicing across the whole UK and also Globally  www.berkeley-International.com Berkeley International is one of the longest most established, elite dating and personal introductions consultancies. They offer an exclusive matchmaking service to help find the perfect partner and soul mate for their discerning and affluent members.

Berkeley is without doubt at the upper end of the sector, for clients of all ages wishing to meet equally accomplished worldly individuals, this is definitely the agency to opt for.

Dating Tips  www.the-datingdirectory.com asked these matchmaking companies: "When using a matchmaker, should members be tapping into the matchmaker’s expertise and meet everyone their matchmaker suggests? Or should they only meet the people that meet all their own personal preferences?"

Tiffany Thomas – Founder of Intro Northwest

“When using a matchmaker, you are investing in their expertise.

We like to gently encourage rather than pressurize all of Intro's clients to be open minded with our hand-picked profile selections.

Different eyes see different things and very often I have found this is where clients can be pleasantly surprised and start to develop a long-lasting relationship.”

Mairead Molloy - Global Director Berkeley International

“Effective communication is crucial in dating, especially when sharing your preferences with your matchmaker to make sure they select the right people for you to meet. Always ensure on your date that you are a good listener, giving your date the space to express themselves. Share your thoughts openly and honestly, to create a deeper connection. These are things you should be mindful of when deciding upon what types of people you will best connect with. Discuss expectations and boundaries to establish mutual understanding. Communication is a two-way street, so when on a date, encourage them to share their feelings

as well. Embrace vulnerability, as it helps with trust and intimacy.

Remember, effective communication lays the foundation for a healthy and lasting relationship”.

April Ashby – CEO Mutual Attraction Matchmaking

“Members should be guided by their matchmakers when a match is suggested to them. Clients very often talk about ‘a type’ which they have been attracted to in the past and they don’t want to let go of this idea. Unfortunately, however, relationships with said ‘type’ have not always worked out so it makes complete sense to try something different if and when this is suggested!”

Yvette Langton – Founder YL Introductions

“At YL Introductions we learn as much as we can about our clients and then go and find the most suitable and compatible people who match as closely as possible to our clients’ preferences. Obviously, we try to keep our clients’ expectations realistic. So, when we suggest a profile, our clients would mostly take our recommendation”

Lara Besbrode – Founder and CEO of The Matchmaker.uk

“Trust The Matchmakers expertise who have experience and knowledge in matching base on compatibility factors.

It's beneficial to trust our judgement and knowledge, and be open to meeting people we suggest, even if they don't meet all your personal preferences. We often have insights, and perspectives that you may not have considered. Be open to new experiences, because even though someone may not fit your exact preferences, the potential introduction can still lead to a meaningful connection. Sometime Chemistry and compatibility can surprise you”.

Lorraine Adams – Founder of Gorgeous Networks and The Dating Directory:

“Having a good rapport with your matchmaker is vital and The Dating Directory totally advocate meeting or having a video chat with several potential matchmakers, so that you feel completely at ease with your choice before deciding on where to make your investment. Once you have ensured that you have chosen a matchmaker that really gets you, we believe that you should rely mostly on their expertise in selecting your matches”.

plan - Dr Go Figure Dr Go Figure is a revolutionary weight loss programme, using the most cutting edge and innovative technology to essentially bio hack your way to faster more effective weight loss.

Dr Go Figure is all about improving the way we lose weight. This is not a quick fix Faddy diet.

How does this programme work?

We use the Emerald laser to liquidise and release the fat from the fat cell. We then use a lymphatic drainage suit to break down the released fat allowing it to be metabolised away quickly.

We combine this with EMS - Electro muscle stimulation personal training. This involves wearing a suit that delivers electrical impulses externally to the muscles. This means that when you’re doing something like a simple bicep curl, you are also building muscles in your thighs, hips, buttocks, abdomen, back shoulders, et cetera) you can do a full body workout in only 20 minutes. By combining the Emerald laser with EMS we are able to deliver safe, effective weight loss, approximately 30% faster than doing it on your own.

The Dr Go Figure programme also includes nutritional coaching, 3-D scanning, so we can see improvements in body composition and podcasts to educate you on how your body works, and the kind of nutrition it needs.

The Dr Go Figure programme is available exclusively at Light Touch Clinic Weybridge.

It is one of the most cutting-edge weight loss programmes available today.

Your february Astrology Forecast from Pia Louisa Aries

Gemini

Leo

21 MAR – 20 APR

22 MAY – 21 JUNE

24 JULY – 23 AUG

Have you allowed yourself time to recuperate from Christmas yet, Aries? You have been full steam ahead for months now, and it’s time to stop and relax for a bit. Don’t feel guilty, as chilling out now will actually make you more productive in the future. It seems your finances have been on your mind lately.

You may have just gone through a financial loss and are looking to rebuild yourself in this area. Once you feel ready, sort through the practical aspects of your life and make sure everything is in order.

Lastly, a new way of communicating is going to get you far with certain people. Your way of doing things just isn’t working for them, therefore you must figure out a new way to approach the situation.

Being alone is the right fit for you now, Gemini. You have been hurt by people in the past and have lost parts of yourself in the process.

Take this time to focus on what you need for yourself. Furthermore, your mental clarity and maturity are complementing each other nicely this month. You have a great ability to use your intellectual power and flexibility in harmony. When making a decision, you lead with your head rather than your heart, meaning you don’t let emotion cloud your judgement.

Being in your family home right now will bring you a sense of stability and comfort that you are craving. A difficult time is coming to an end, so take this as your sign that everything is going to be okay. True emotional fulfilment is coming your way!

Your friendships are incredibly important to you Leo, and something you must nurture this month. Throughout all the ups and downs in your life, you close group of friends have been there for you.

Let them know how much they mean to you and enjoy fun times together! You have this dynamic energy about you at the moment, and nothing is standing in your way. Embrace this side of yourself and get out there. This isn’t a time for you to be resting, this is your time to act. Finally, you have a power over people that you don’t even realise. Others naturally want to be around you and will listen to what you have to say. Just remember to use your powers for good…

Taurus

Cancer

Virgo

21 APR – 20 MAY

22 JUNE – 23 JULY

24 AUG – SEPT 3

Don’t let your inner critic control your every thought. That voice in the back of your head’s stopping you from truly enjoying your life.

This voice isn’t going to go away overnight, but with some effort, you’ll be able to push it so far back that it becomes a whisper.

Furthermore, while you’re giving lots to others, it seems they aren’t giving you much back in return.

You may have lent money to a friend, and they haven’t paid you back. Stop giving so much of yourself to people who can’t find it in their heart to show gratitude and appreciation. Finally, you are hiding parts of yourself from others. Holding onto these secrets can add to the guilt; sharing with someone you trust is your best bet.

Being productive is extremely important to your Cancerian.

Luckily, this month is all about being organised. You’re done with the planning stage and are now taking steps your future self will thank you for. Furthermore, it’s time to use your intuition when making decisions. You can’t always have all the facts in front of you, and your gut instinct will never steer you wrong. Don’t be afraid to put a bit of emotion into your decision making. Finally, manifesting what you want will be your last step this month. You will have gone through a transition throughout the coming weeks and will be ready to start fresh in March.

Think about what you want your next chapter to look like.

Have unexpected delays put a stop to your plans, Virgo? Don’t fret, as these were meant to happen to allow you to examine what might need to change.

Use this time wisely and think about any areas that need to improve. This month, taking a step back from your day-to-day operations and looking at the bigger picture will be important.

Celebrate all that you have done and remember how much you’ve already progressed. You are on track. Lastly, are you letting yourself be as self-sufficient as possible? If you are relying on certain people to help you, try to find ways you can help yourself.

Of course, it’s fine to ask for help, but remember you are just as capable as anyone else.

Libra

Sagittarius

Aquarius

24 SEPT – 23 OCT

23 NOV – 21 DEC

21 JAN – 19 FEB

You have become a master of your emotions, Libra, and are now able to focus on other areas of your life. Your feelings no longer get the better of you, as you have discovered who you are and what you want.

Even when life throws you a curveball, you’re able to draw on your emotional maturity to help you through it. However, you may be taking on the role of ‘victim’, hoping others will save you. You can’t change the actions of people, but you can change how you respond. Pick yourself up and move on with your life, rather than hoping someone will take pity on you.

Finally, towards the end of the month, you would have gained a new perspective and will feel ready to start fresh.

Discipline is going to be important in February, Sagittarius. It’s your nature to be impulsive, but right now it’s best for you to sit back and wait. Exercise your willpower and trust that what’s meant for you will find its way. Furthermore, spiritual wisdom will be showing itself to you very soon. You may start to enjoy more holistic activities which will open your mind to new possibilities.

Allow yourself to explore different approaches to life. Finally, success will be yours! You are finally going to see results on a project you are been working on for a while now and will be pleased with the outcome.

Remember to feel proud of all that you have achieved. Astrologically, with Taurus playing a big role in your life, don’t be surprised if you feel protective of your material possessions.

Should you stay or should you go, Aquarius? You may be thinking about walking away from a situation, or trying one more time to see if it gets better.

However, what you should be asking yourself is, will this situation improve, or is it a lost cause? You are going on a new journey, and whichever path you take will lead you to a new outcome. Staying true to your purpose is extremely important to you and will help when making any and all decisions.

There is a meaning to your life, but that meaning is all down to you. Finally, your potential right now is unlimited! No matter where you find yourself, you have potential to find your way and thrive doing so.

SCORPIO

Capricorn

Pisces

24 OCT – 22 NOV

22 DEC – 20 JAN

20 FEB – 20 MAR

Harmony is your word for February, Scorpio. Life has been hectic recently and creating an atmosphere of peace will be high priority for you. Take some time to work on your environment, as it will soon reflect how you feel on the inside.

Furthermore, you have been quite unfocused lately, most likely down to your busy schedule. There’s no point performing a task if you know it’s going to end up poorly. Write a list of just three things to focus on this month and put all your energy into only these areas. By the end of the month, your own personal definition of success will be achieved. Whether this means material gain, public recognition, or a feeling of happiness, you will be ready to start on a new goal. Celebrate this success, then get started on the next!

Creatively, you seem to be quite blocked at the moment Cap. Normally, you’re able to create ideas out of thin air, but nothing is inspiring you right now. Try not to worry about this too much, as something will pique your interest as soon as you stop thinking about it! Furthermore, it’s time to release some baggage. You have been holding on to certain ideals for a long time now, and you must let them go. These outdated thoughts aren’t doing anything for you anymore, in fact, they’re holding you back. Lastly, as a Capricorn, you have an air of authority about you. This is going to serve you well in the coming weeks, as people will be looking to you for guidance.

Just remember to lead fairly and wisely.

Willpower is your key to success, Pisces. This isn’t a time to be impulsive. Right now, it’s best for you to sit back and assess what is really good for you. Furthermore, prioritising certain tasks will help you in the future.

Don’t procrastinate the important things in life. Make a list of everything you need to do and number them based on their significance. Lastly, selfcare will play a huge role in February for you. As much as it’s important to organise the practical side of your life, taking time just for yourself is equally important. Do whatever you can to unwind, relax, and recharge your batteries in the coming weeks.

Astrologically, with your ruling planet in your ruling sign, play close attention to your dreams, as hidden message will be revealed to you.
