Spotlight on

RPA Joinery & Building Maintenance This year, will be 7 years since Rob Allen set up his business RPA Joinery & Building Maintenance. He admits, starting before the credit crunch was very brave. Whilst many other contractors packed away their building tools for the last time, Rob has gone from strength to strength and has built an excellent reputation based on quality workmanship, customer care and a fair price.

Rob began his career in the Royal Engineers, learning his trade and spent many years mastering his skills. When he left the Royal Engineers, he became a civilian contractor, assigned to a local RAF airbase.

Perhaps however his most memorable week occurred when he was managing a general building company in the East Midlands,

“ I went into work on the Monday and was made redundant. It was a huge

shock! I took stock of things and tried to see this as an opportunity. On the Tuesday I purchased a van and by the end of the week I was trading “ A memorable week indeed!

The first job was to market his services and Rob immediately introduced himself to all the property management agencies in the area, this formed the basis of his client base. The next job was to find like-minded contractors that could offer useful services.

“I realised that working with other sole traders was an excellent idea. It’s like a

“Whilst I am primarily a joiner, my clients do require a variety of services and I have several knowledgeable contacts who provide tiling, decorating, plumbing, gardening, plastering, fencing, roofing, brickwork, garden and patio landscaping, electrics, soffits and fascias. There really isn’t any part of home improvements and renovations that I couldn’t manage.”

Such is his reputation that Rob now manages a sizable portfolio of properties – pretty good for the short time frame.

“I am so confidant with the standard of my craftsmanship that I would happily suggest new clients talk to other satisfied customers.”

One such client is Mrs. Campbell from Collingham, “Rob came highly recommended. When I met him he was very nice indeed. He explained what he would be doing and did everything on time and within my budget. His standard of work is exceptional and the proof is in my house – its wonderful!”

Other clients’ comments are similar: – “Rob fitted new doors inside and out, there were no nasty surprises and the craftsmanship was as expected – perfect! He delivered what he said he would, on time and on budget.

I would have no hesitation in referring Rob” said Alan Knock a local homeowner.

Graham Gosling of Sutton on Trent also commented, “Rob has been working for me for 7 years now and his workmanship is first class. There is no doubt that he has the expertise and knowledge to outclass others in the area. He is reliable, efficient and honest – a contributing factor to his success” Attention to details is extremely important to Rob “ It doesn’t matter how large or small the job is, I will always give it my full attention. I don’t ask for any payment until the client is fully satisfied and the job is completed” Rob also believes in efficiency. “ On many occasions I will prepare the site for other contractors who sub contract to me. This may be getting the materials ready and putting the

dust sheets down. Because I am answerable to the client, I make sure that everyone is working together and efficiently. It’s a win-win situation, the onsite team is happy and ultimately this reflects in their work, which make s the clients happy.”

Rob would also like tot thanks all of his clients and associated company’s who have helped him to build his business and is looking forward to undertaking any work from single job to project management, confident that he can exceed the expectations of any new client.

Perhaps the last comment should be his own “It has been a magnificent 7 years, I have thoroughly enjoyed it and look forward to the next years being just as exciting!”

And Another Thing...

by Tom Hughes

Where to take my beloved for a much needed break?

Tenerife for some early sun?

Or how about springtime in Paris? Or maybe somewhere nearer home....? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Southport? In March? But Tom, I thought we were going to Paris?â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Did you know Southportâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Lord Street is the inspiration for the boulevards of most romantic city in the world?â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Oh, for a horrible minute I thought you meant we were going to -â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Southport, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s right. We can take Olly on the beach. Go for a stroll along Southport Pier?â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;You know how to spoil a girl, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t you?â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Come on, grab your coat, better take an extra layer, best take an umbrella too.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Anything else?â&#x20AC;? ´$ Ă DVN RI %RYULO" 2K DQG D woolly hat.â&#x20AC;?

In no time at all the Mondeo Ghia was within striking distance of the classiest seaside town north of Liverpool (and south of 14

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Have you got any change for the machine?â&#x20AC;?

Refusing to be dissuaded, I popped my head through the beads hanging across the door and sat down in Madame Sylviaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bijou front parlour, with Olly sat quietly on my knee.

She took my hand in hers which was of course the signal for me to start giggling.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;What!? The wind, I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t-â&#x20AC;?

She shook her head, no change. No matter we could pay via mobile phone. Thirty minutes later I was in the QHZVDJHQWV FKDQJLQJ D Ă&#x20AC;YH pound note. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You can pay by mobile mate.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Unfortunately I failed my computer programming AOHYHO VR FDQ , KDYH Ă&#x20AC;YH SRXQG coins please?â&#x20AC;?

At last, we were ready to explore. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So you see, the design of this street, with its wide thoroughfare, is just like the boulevards of Paris. It is said that Napoleon III lodged just off Lord Street, in 1834 I believe, and that gave him the idea-â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tom, as fascinating as this is, can we just get out of the rain?â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Here letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s go down this side

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll tell you what Tom, you go and get your fortune told, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going into Russell & Bromleys.â&#x20AC;?

Eventually, we battled our way across the coast road and found our way to Southport Pier. “Tom look at it, it’s sheeting down.”

“It’s OK darling worry not, we can take the train.”

And there, coming into the tiny station on the shortest bit of track known to man, was a real live proper train.

“Is this the right train for the end of Southport Pier?”

The exhausted driver looked at me like he hadn’t heard that joke for hours.

“Ninety pence please.”

At the other end of this pile of Victorian Iron we discovered a seedy amusement arcade and tatty cafe which had been refurbished completely and replaced with, er, a tatty cafe and seedy amusement arcade.

We decided to sit out the storm with a restorative cuppa.

Unfortunately, a stroppy little man in a hi-viz jacket and moustache barred our way.

“Sorry sir, no dogs in the cafe.”

We all looked down at Olly, now soaked and shivering with the cold.

“It’s OK, he’s a guide dog.”

The little Jobsworth’s eyes narrowed.

“Well where’s his harness and tunic?”

to head home. I made a dash for the train but it had already gone.

“Blast! What time is the next one?”

“I’m not sure but I think I can see it now, you know that one there, at other end of this pier?”

We returned to our Mondeo *KLD RQO\ WR ÀQG D QLFH VKLQ\ yellow parking ticket stuck onto the windscreen.

“I thought you bought one?”

“It’s his day off.”

“I thought you paid by mobile?”

“His day off?”

And the moral of this story?

When a fortune teller says it’s your lucky day to go and buy a ticket, always follow her advice.

“Yes. Do you wear that tunic on your day off?”

“Er, no.”

“Well neither does he, now excuse us.”

After our greasy Eccles cake and stewed tea we decided

Mother’s Day Around The World

By Alison Runham www.alison.runham.co.uk Mothers deserve attention all year round, so why do we celebrate mothers on one special day - and do other countries follow suit?

The UK Traditionally, on ‘Mothering Sunday’ (the fourth Sunday in Lent) people returned to their baptismal ‘mother church’.

As their parents’ home was often nearby, over time the day became a holiday for visiting family. Flowers were gathered on the way home and mums received Simnel cakes.

Observance of Mothering Sunday gradually withered but after its revival in 1920 it spread throughout the Empire, becoming known as Mother’s Day. Around the World Most countries have a Mother’s Day, but origins and traditions vary. Unless stated otherwise, countries below follow U.S. tradition, celebrating on the second Sunday in May. In France, American soldiers introduced their Mother’s Day during the First World War. Originally focussed on fertile mothers, today Fête des Mères celebrates all mothers, who traditionally receive a cake shaped like a bouquet of ÁRZHUV )UDQFH FHOHEUDWHV RQ the last Sunday in May, as does Sweden, where the Red Cross VHOOV SODVWLF ÁRZHUV LQ DLG RI deprived mothers.

22

In Italy mums receive a heartshaped cake, but on the second Sunday before Christmas children in Yugoslavia tie their mother up until she gives them treats. Egypt’s Mother’s Day on 21st March is celebrated with songs devoted to mothers.

In Nepal, children return to the family home on “Aama ko Mukh Herne Din” (“to see Mother’s face”) on the last day of Baishak dark fortnight, making breakfast for their mothers and giving them gifts, favourite foods and new clothes. Those who have lost mothers visit Mata Tirtha, a sacred site with a pool in which they ‘look upon their mother’s face’.

The USA didn’t keep English Mother’s Day, but Anna Jarvis campaigned for one in honour of her mother, who introduced “Mothers’ Friendship Day” after the Civil War. At a church service on the second anniversary of her mother’s death (the second Sunday of May), Anna distributed her PRWKHU·V IDYRXULWH ÁRZHUV ZKLWH carnations. Today they signify mothers who have passed away, while coloured carnations honour mothers still living.

In Australia, Mother’s Day grew from Janet Heyden’s campaign to give gifts to lonely inmates of Newington State Home for Women. Schoolchildren in Japan draw pictures of their mothers for a nationwide competition and winning

pictures travel the country in a mobile exhibition.

Mexico’s Mother’s Day on 10th May was once a pawn in battles between government and church on modernisation and materialism. It now celebrates both mothers and the Virgin Mary. Children often arrive at their mother’s house the night before. Traditionally the day starts with mass before mothers are presented with a breakfast of tamales and atole, but many mothers are now treated to breakfast at home, accompanied by a song.

In Paraguay, Mother’s Day is celebrated with Dia de la Patria (Independence Day) on 15th May, to honour Juana María de Lara’s role in winning Paraguay’s independence.

Similarly, Bolivia’s Dia de la Madre Boliviana on 27th May commemorates the women NLOOHG ÀJKWLQJ IRU LQGHSHQGHQFH in the Battle of Coronilla.

In Ethiopia, their ‘Antrosht’ celebration lasts three days, beginning after the rains have ceased (usually October/ November). Traditionally, mothers cook a special meal but daughters provide dairy products, vegetables and spices while sons bring the meat.

Afterwards they enjoy traditional songs and dances.

So why not celebrate Mexican-style this year and sing your Mum a song?

Give your home some love this spring Get ready to decorate & renew your home style.

Having spent the winter in your home its time to get ready for Spring & give your home some love!

And where can you go for expert advice about making your home look fabulous? Of course you can buy furniture or accessories but what about the base layer? The walls - painted or papered? A base needs to be in good condition to set the backdrop for your sofas etc. Time & time again I see clients at Newark paint & Hardware asking questions to get the perfect colour or product for their walls.

After all you don't want to do it all over again because you used the wrong product and why pay silly prices for either the wrong product or too much paint.

At Newark Paint & Hardware you definitely won't have that experience, as Jon is exceptionally knowledgeable, and works hard to make sure that you only buy what you need and the right product for the job.

On top of the expert advice there is a superb range of trade paints â&#x20AC;&#x201C;these are better than off the shelf domestic paints. When you buy a trade product you are getting the latest technology that the experts use to make your house a home. Crown, Sadolin, McPherson are all household names, and their products are made to give the best possible coverage to make sure your job is as easy Before as possible for you to complete.

Painting walls not your forte?

Then how about trying the latest range of Rust-oleum chalk paints for that unloved piece of furniture sitting in the corner, see the before & after pics below and right of just what a difference a coat of paint can make.

Whatever you do, make sure to pop down to Newark Paint & Hardware for all the help, advice and great products to After make your home picture perfect.
