Educational Visits In Essex It’s almost time for the children to return to school after the summer holidays. Why not remind them that learning can be fun by visiting one of these educational places in Essex. The Kelvedon Hatch Secret Nuclear Bunker in Brentwood was designed for up to 600 military and civilian personnel, possibly even the Prime Minister, their collective task being to organise the survival of the population in the awful aftermath of a nuclear war. A great day out - there’s so much to learn, see and do. For opening times and prices visit www.secretnuclearbunker.co.uk Southend Planetarium presents a range of talks about astronomy and the night sky.

Cloudy2Clear Windows – Service With A Smile! It’s been a crazy few months for Cloudy2Clear Windows. The company which specialises in repairing windows which are steamed up, broken or damaged by replacing the panes – not the frames has grown rapidly as homeowners take advantage of their services. Managing Director Chris Miller feels that it’s all about service. ‘Our product is simple. If your double glazing is misted up we can replace the glass at a fraction of the cost of a new window, in any type of frame, and with a new 5 year guarantee. But it’s not just about saving
people money, although that obviously helps. Many tradespeople have struggled since last year and I honestly feel that during the good times a minority perhaps didn’t focus on customer care as much as they should have done. We make sure we turn up when we say we will, do the job the customer requires and leave their house as clean as a whistle. I often get comments back from customers on how they really didn’t expect that sort of service which, in a way, is very sad for the service industry as a whole.’ Cloudy2Clear service the Benfleet, Hadleigh, Thundersly and Canvey
Island areas and Chris is finding that his approach is a major factor in his success.‘The truth is that it’s not just the personal satisfaction that I get from doing a good job but also it makes good business sense. I get a huge amount of business from friends and family
of people I’ve done work for, which just goes to show how much a little bit of effort is appreciated.’ So, if your windows are steamed up, broken or damaged give Chris a call for a free quotation on 0800 61 21 118 and he’ll be happy to help!

Can you help Re-Home a Dog from Acres Way Kennels? Adopting a Dog
I
f you think you can offer a dog a good home, the first thing you need to do is to go down to the kennels, select a suitable dog you like, take it for a walk and see how you get on. Some people and dogs just don’t get along, so before reserving a dog, the Acres Way staff would need to see if you suit each other. If you have children, or another dog, they recommend that you bring them with you, to make sure that everyone will get on. Once you have visited the dogs, and hopefully found one that matches your lifestyle and expectations, a member of staff will arrange a convenient time for a home check. These are usually carried out within 2
or 3 days of your visit and take about half an hour. Once the home check is complete, you’ll be able to collect your dog. You will need to bring with you some identification showing your current address, and the £130 adoption fee. Their staff will be on hand if you have any questions, and will be able to guide you through the adoption process. All the staff and dogs at Acres Way look forward to seeing you Re-Homing Update We are thrilled that all the dogs included in last months issue have been successfully re-homed. Amy the Lurcher / Staff Cross, Toby the cross breed, Honey the Rottweiler and Wobbles the Schitzu (below) have all found loving families.
Wobbles - Successfully Re-homed

Money Guidance
W
hat do we actually do at Joseph Lamb’s....? It is very easy for us to forget but what we think ‘Financial Advice’ is not always not what you may think it is! The Financial Advice industry has grown out of what used to be the life assurance and insurance broking industry, but is now a very different animal indeed. Whilst everyone in it moans about the level of regulation and complying with regulation, there is no doubt at all that higher and higher levels of regulation have led to higher and higher levels of professionalism. At Lamb’s we recognised the impact this regulation would have on us right from the earliest days, so we stopped doing ‘general insurance’ as long ago as 1987, and subsequently have simplified our business model to focus on our core specialist activities. These are now very different from the past, our business has developed into an Investment and much as I hate the phrase ‘Wealth Management’ business. We run our own investment portfolios under our Discretionary Premier Investment Monitoring Service (D-PIMS) which can apply to all aspects of your personal wealth as it can operate for your investment ISAs, pensions, unit trust portfolios and even via Life Assurance Bonds where their special tax treatment may be advantageous for some clients. We are now in the very proud position of being entrusted with looking after about £250,000,000 of investments on behalf of clients and are the most longstanding and largest firm in our sector in the area. The D-PIMS service operates at 6 levels of ‘risk’ from ‘low’ through to ‘very high’ so we can find a suitable level for just about everybody, and has been operating for nearly 10 years. The performance of the portfolios can be seen on our website where you will see that we have consistently outperformed our peers and competition, often with much lower ‘volatility’, the values don’t jump around as much as our competitors. D-PIMS keeps you up to date with your investments, we can provide on-line valuations, formal 6 monthly reports and market commentaries via e mail from our investment team as and when we make changes to our portfolios. We think that this makes our clients feel much more ‘engaged’ with their money than any other service previously experienced and we find clients become much more interested in and aware of the world’s investment markets.
14
In running the portfolios we look forward over the coming months and try to position our investments in line with what we feel are the most likely outcomes of economic and political events. We reduce risk in our portfolios if we foresee potential risk events, and this is what helps control the volatility of the service. We are always looking for areas that may provide better returns, and have an excellent track record of introducing or increasing investments in sectors just ahead of their performance increasing, a good example of this is bringing Commercial Property funds into the portfolios a full year ahead of our competitors, at the start of what appears to be a strong run for the sector. As well as running your investments for you we can provide full advice around the financial planning issues relating to your retirement, accessing your pensions, funding pensions, (which the ‘New Rules’ have made infinitely more attractive),saving, protecting your family and your business, cash flow planning, Trustee Investment services, and from our experience in running our own business, we can often help out with business planning and corporate decision making. Our adviser team has hundreds of years experience across all market and economic cycles, why not contact one of them to pick their brains and get some financial planning ideas? The first consultation is always free and we are confident that we can add value and improve your current situation - our existing clients certainly think so as can be seen from the testimonials on our website. So, why not find out what we do - free of charge and contact us with any financial planning query you may have. We will do all we can to help, free of charge until we commence chargeable work for you.

Rare Lancaster Bombers visit Southend Airport S
Vulcan XL426, which lives at London Southend Airport all year round.
London Southend Airport was the site of a very special reunion on 22nd August as the final two Avro Lancaster Bombers that are still able to fly met for the first – and probably the last – time.
The Vulcan is in full ground working condition, but not airworthy, so was towed across London Southend Airport to join the Lancaster’s for this unique photo opportunity – probably the only time these aircraft will ever be together.
ide by side for the first - and probably last - time. The last two airworthy World War II Lancaster Bombers – plus a Vulcan!
The UK based plane (named Thumper) was joined by the other craft that has made the once in a lifetime journey over from Canada (called Vera) especially for a series of events undertaken by the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight. This weekend they are appearing at the Clacton Airshow. The two Second World War four-engined heavy bombers used by the RAF on countless successful air raids were joined for a very special photo by the much loved Avro
London Southend Airport was recently named ‘Best in the UK’ by readers of Which? magazine for the second year running. Managing Director Roger Clements said “We were absolutely delighted that these wonderful aircraft that played such a huge and important role in British history decided to visit us here at London Southend Airport. It was a huge privilege to see them all side by side for the first, and probably the last, time.”
