THE PERFECT BATHROOM... DO YOU WANT IT?

A MOVE TO PAVILION COURT MADE SIMPLEBARRATT Yorkshire West is offering home hunters a simple way to make buying a must-have home an afforable reality at sought after development Pavilion Court, Idle.

Since the start of 2010 Barratt’s Movemaker scheme has proved to be a major hit with eager buyers seeking a simpler, more cost effective method for moving into a dream home.

Under Movemaker Barratt agrees a minimum selling price for the existing property and allows buyers to reserve their new home for eight weeks while Barratt works with a local agent to actively market it free of charge.

Buyers can take advantage of the fantastic deal to snap up Barratt’s home of the week, plot 21, the Norbury, priced at only £181,995. The magnificent three bedroom town house, presented over three floors boasts a spacious family lounge, fitted breakfast kitchen and the master bedroom comes complete with a luxurious en-suite bathroom and dressing room.

Pavilion Court has continually put pay to rumours of a slow in the property market, enticing buyers with its attractive stone homes in the desirable location of Idle, just a stones throw away from Leeds and Bradford.

The stunning development also boasts a number of local shops so that buyers don’t have to travel for everyday necessities. With many market towns in close proximity, home hunters will be thrilled with the broad array of retail delights on offer.

Julia McCallum, Sales Advisor at Pavilion Court said; “Pavilion Court has always proved popular with buyers thanks to its location and homes. Movemaker has helped many buyers settle here as it is just a really simple way of making the move from a house to a home.”

For more information call the sales team on 0844 8115533 open Thursday to Monday 10.30am to 5.30pm or visit www.barratthomes.co.uk


“Our panels provide a decorative and functional fi nish to walls and ceilings in any room. They are however ideally suited to bathrooms and kitchens with many advantages over ceramic tiles.

They are much quicker to fi t, there’s no need for grout, and they offer improved insulation and will not support bacteria or mould growth!” Explains Damian Campbell, owner of Yorkshire Cladding Centre Ltd in Bradford.

Damian, originally from Bingley, moved away in 2002 to Newcastle after being made redundant from the Bradford & Bingley. He worked for his cousin selling internal upvc cladding in Newcastle until May this year.

After marrying his wife, Amanda in 2007, they decided to move back to Bingley in May this year as Damian missed family and friends, and this was the perfect opportunity to set up Yorkshire Cladding Centre in his local area.

A superb, cost effective and more decorative alternative to tiles, decorative cladding was extremely popular in Newcastle and seeing that not many people sell this product in the Leeds/Bradford area, Damian saw a gap in the market. “The cladding is easy to install, even the most basic DIY enthusiasts can fi t it. I carry a large range of colours and styles along with assorted

fi nishing trims and adhesives. My showrooms have been specifi cally designed for people to look at what’s available and how fantastic a fi nished room looks.

As well as bathrooms and kitchens our panels are also suitable for use in shower rooms or shower cubicles and once completed provides any room with the ‘wow’ factor!”

Produced from extruded PVC with a paint and lacquer fi nish to the front face, the panels simply fi x together in a similar way to tongue and groove timber cladding. Panels can be fi xed directly to existing sound surfaces, including tiles, using a variety of building adhesives, or can be fi xed mechanically (nailed, screwed or stapled) to timber battens on uneven surfaces.

A visit to Damian at Yorkshire Cladding Centre is a must to see just how fabulous your rooms can look, you will also be pleased at the price!

The Calverley Business Network celebrated its 1st year anniversary at it October meeting with over 25 people attending, there was standing room only.Founder of the network Zandra Moore said “We are proud of the success of our local business network which has grown above and beyond what we had expected”. The success of the network has been attributed to its informal and relaxed atmosphere, the network is free to join and members can drop in at any of the monthly meetings held at The New Inn in Calverley on the fi rst Tuesday of every month.

The Network WorksIn celebration of the networks fi rst anniversary we have decided to share some of the stories of how the network is working for its members.Red Voice

“I have had 4 tasty evening meals at Deeva, 3 trips to Claytons Automotive to fi x our cars, 2 six foot banners produced for our business from printing.com, 2 dodgy lawnmowers fi xed by the Tool Doctor and one fab new bathroom being installed shortly by the Yorkshire Kitchen Company, the network really works” Helen West from RedVoice


Deeva

“We have had all our restaurants marketing literature produced by Printing.com and our employment contracts are being written by Red Elephant HR and we are delighted to be hosting the Calverley Business Network Christmas party at Deeva in December.” Zulfi Hussain from DeevaSalescake

“Whether its business cards from Printing.com, advice from Thornhill fi nancial services or a catch up on the local news down at Calverley Fish Shop. The network is supporting both my business and personal needs, supporting the local economy over a glass of wine, that’s

my kind of networking” Zandra Moore from Salescake

Claytons MOT “ Running a business and generating new customers is never easy, with the amount of competition we have in the motor trade be it from Fast Fits or Main Dealers, gaining the opportunity to speak to a potential new customer is vital in the hard times we are facing today. As an independent garage CBN gives us just that, we are able put ourselves across as a real alternative to the multi nationals with massive marketing budgets, we can to speak to people local to our business on a one to one basis and generate a bond whilst building up a trust with people before

they even visit our premises. Not only that we gain valued business contacts along the way from all walks of life, in turn generating business for each other. Word of mouth is by far the greatest marketing tool available, add that to the fun and informal way things are run by volunteers at no cost to CBN members and you have a great business mix, long may it continue!” James Clayton from Claytons MOT

MAD Publications Ltd and Printing.com

“We have been members of Calverley Business Network for most of this year and it is astounding how quickly this group has

grown. Its success is down to the passion of its members to support each other, and refer business between the group members before considering using anyone from outside of the group.

We personally have used the services of many of the members and have received business from many more. It’s a great way to generate more local business and also meet new friends. Come along and see for yourself!” Angela and Dave Riches from MAD Publications Ltd and Printing.com at Greengates.

Here at MAD Publications, we absolutely love it when we discover someone who offers a unique service that is perfect for all start up businesses and businesses wanting to move to the next level. So we were absolutely ecstatic to come across Andy Thompson and his brilliant concept TooCan!

For any business needing a ‘knock ‘em dead’ website without the usual massive financial outlay for design and hosting, Andy is the man to speak with, for reasons we will go into shortly. First let’s tell you a little about Andy and how TooCan came into being. Andy studied mechanical and production engineering after leaving school and found a passion for designing products that offered a solution to everyday problems, a passion that grew during his time working for a plastics engineering company after he finished his apprenticeship. Then through a chance meeting he was introduced to some people who worked in the security industry and he started to develop security systems and solutions for protection to high risk corporate organisations, including solutions for such as anti-terrorism. This line of work took Andy all over Europe, however after a family bereavement, he decided on a change of direction, going back to his roots developing, manufacturing

and marketing his own products. To date Andy has sold over one million products that he has personally designed, manufactured and marketed and he has two products currently in development which are almost ready to market; one is for the security industry which will be launched under a new brand called Ko-Ko, and one for consumers, both are being kept tightly under wraps until completed as the volumes Andy anticipates selling run into literally hundreds of thousands. As part of the process and the marketing mix when launching his products, Andy has developed many of his own websites, some as promotional sites and some for direct sales. Along the way he has regularly been asked for advice, and he realised that he could provide the something unique for start up and small businesses requiring a website as an essential part of their marketing mix and strategy, without the usual expense of a professional web designer and avoiding the pitfalls of trying to design your own site, which can result in something very unprofessional and ineffective. TooCan offers a no-risk and very low cost web presence, a site designed specifically to fit each individual business needs plus ongoing support and advice, marketing and networking ideas...and all from £5 per week!

Yes that’s correct; it’s not a typing error! That’s why we approached Andy after seeing his branding and marketing for TooCan. Having met with him to find out more, we were bowled over by his work ethic and passion to help local businesses succeed. To give you some idea of how quickly Andy can work for you, TooCan took just one week to develop from concept to marketing, designing, setting up his total brand, his website and securing his first five customers!This could be happening in your business. To find out more and to receive Andy’s FREE document – ‘26 Marketing Mistakes to Avoid’, which is a must have set of TooCan tips for every small business which has been developed specifically for MAD Publications customers and readers, contact Andy with your details:

It’s offi cial: children know their carrots from their

courgettes

A survey of 1,500 children around the UK has shown that it’s not all bad news when it comes to kids and vegetables. On average, children aged 3-11 recognised over 80% of fruit and veg

in organic vegbox company Riverford’s summer challenge. The vegetables children were asked to identify included commonly available carrots, potatoes and broccoli, as well as the more unusual kohl rabi, globe artichokes and fennel. Three quarters of children said they eat at least half of the fruit and veg; 4% said they eat them all; and only 5% said they eat less than a quarter of them.

Riverford also quizzed kids on their favourite and least liked fruit and veg. Carrots came out on top, followed by sweetcorn and broccoli. The most disliked veg was Brussels sprouts, then courgettes.

Andrew, who delivers Riverford vegboxes to families throughout North & West Yorkshire, said “We’re really encouraged that not all children think milk comes from cartons or tomatoes in tins. With kids going back to school and getting into a healthy routine after the holidays, lots of

Stir in the courgettes and vanilla, then spoon the mixture into a 20x35cm baking tin lined with baking parchment.

parents will be trying to get them gobbling their greens again.

“We’ve always thought that the more engaged you are with your food, the more likely you are to eat it, so we give out lots of free recipes each week to help people cook, and we encourage customers to visit our farm. These results seem to back up our theory: the children of Riverford customers ate a wider range of ‘weird’ veg than those of non-customers.

“If you’re still struggling with those dreaded courgettes, see if you can win the kids over with our Chocolate Courgette Cake recipe; they’ll never believe there are vegetables hidden inside.”

The veg challenge has been taken by children at numerous shows this summer from Otley Show, The Great Yorkshire Show, Bingley Show, Halifax Show, Ripley Show and most recently at Keighley Show, the veg challenge proved very popular and got local kids thinking about where their food comes from.
