YOUR FREE GUIDE TO THE BEST LOCAL BUSINESSES INCLUDING THE GOOD FOOD AND DRINK GUIDE

Issue 12 Autumn/Winter 2017-18

Welcome to issue 12 of the Professional Services Magazine, Veja Baja edition.

Bringing you 32 pages of professional trades and services, along with the ‘Good Food and Drink Guide’, this is once again the Nº1 business guide in the Vega Baja region.

Now in its seventh year, the Focus on Professional Services continues to grow in popularity and is dedicated to showcasing local companies and professionals in your area. Keep it to hand because you never know when you will need one of the trades, products or services offered.

Remember, you can also view the Professional Services Magazine as a digital version at www.femalefocusonline.com with the added bonus of direct ‘live’ links to the advertisers’ websites and email.

And now if you are on the move and need a number or address and don’t have a magazine to hand just go to business.femalefocusonline.com/ where you will find all the businesses with full contact details, google map directions, and some even include their latest offers linked via Facebook. I have the shortcut saved to my mobile home screen so I am never without a number.

Ken Taylor Photography

Costa Blanca Wedding Photographer Covering the whole of the Costa Blanca

633 479 031 ken@kentaylor.photography kentaylor.photography

Ken Taylor is YOUR Wedding Photographer of choice on the Costa Blanca!

Documentary Wedding Photographers are story tellers….

Through photography, I tell the true story of your Wedding Day from start to finish, without the need for interruption.

Your Wedding in a once-in-a-lifetime experience to be enjoyed by you, your family and friends. Every person is an individual and each Wedding is unique.

As a Wedding Photojournalist on the Costa Blanca I treat every couple and their guests individually, thereby providing a truly personal service, together with Wedding Photography uniquely tailored to you and your day.

With numerous years of Reportage Photography experience and a passion for people, I have developed a natural ability to anticipate moments.

Documentary Wedding Photography becomes instinctive, to anticipate the moment before it happens, to be in the right place at the right time, and to capture all the fun and excitement of your Wedding Day celebrations.

NOGROW GRASS

Artificial Grass & Landscaping Covering the Costa Blanca

Artificial Grass In climates that see drought and heat for much of the year, like we have here in Southern Spain it may prove very difficult to maintain a natural lawn, as the grass will require too much water or relief from the heat. All of our garden range grass are made with soft and durable materials that are made to look and feel just like the real thing. Artificial grass can withstand what natural lawns cannot, while still retaining all of the aesthetic appeal that a natural lawn has to offer.

If you have a roof terrace, or wish to transform your swimming pool area, we have artificial grass to suit every need and purpose. Choose from our range for the best grass to perfectly suit your requirements.

Mini Golf installations Within the last 3 to 4 years the demand for mini golf and private garden putting areas has increased. This is due partly to the price decrease that we are able to provide, but mainly people can see the quality and imagination that we put into all of our installs. All the materials that we use are top quality. Our flags are a strong nylon, flag poles and holes are polyurethane, and flag bases are aluminium. All the grass we use is provided by Tiger Turf, who are world leaders in the improvement and manufacturing of synthetic grass.

What’s even better is all of our products are covered by a 8 year TIGER TURF manufacturer’s warranty, and we provide a separate 2 year installation warranty. So you can be even more confident that your new artificial lawn will last as long as any real grass surface, with a fraction of the maintenance.
