Here for you when you need us

Buy, buy, buy, sell, sell, sell

If you are buying or selling a limited company what is the best way to do that? There are two options available to you either you buy the business and assets (an “Asset Purchase”) or you buy the company’s shares (a “Share Purchase”).

Each type of transaction has its potential benefits and pitfalls.

An Assets Purchase is whereby the buyer essentially cherry picks the specific aspects of the company what he wants without inheriting any liability for the Company’s past activities.

In a Share Purchase the buyer

will, assuming he buys all of the shares, acquire the Company “warts and all”. A Seller will also have to consider which type of transaction is most suitable. There is no set answer as to which route is the best one. Once the parties agree on which route to take the terms of the sale can still be modified so as to suit the parties.

Buying or selling a business can be an exciting time but fraught with legal pitfalls.

As Dawson Hart we can advise on both the different paths and numerous options available.

Note from the Editor...

Dear Readers, As I’m writing my note, always the final page to complete before I go to print, it’s raining outside, the Summer Solstice is on the horizon and I’m planning a short break to Normandy with a group of friends to visit the historic battle sites, made even more poignant as we have just commemorated 75 years since the D-Day landings. I hope the weather improves as we are all travelling by motorbike!

The Crowborough Summer Fun Day which took place at the beginning of June saw a fantastic turnout of visitors into the Town Centre. It is such a vibrant day and as always, the sun was shining.

I was accompanied to the event by my partner Joe and his dog Teddie who was very excited to see Bagpuss in attendance as the new ‘face’ of Hospices Joe and Teddie never miss of Hope. She couldn’t wait to pose for joining me at this event a picture. You can view more of my pictures from the Fun Day on page 18 of this issue - it’s always a great opportunity for me to catch up with regular advertisers in the magazine.

Regular readers may recall that I present my own radio show, The Community Show on Channel Radio. I actually had Hospices of Hope in the studio to talk about all the amazing work their charity carries out in Romania, Moldova, Serbia and Albania. If you want to hear the interview with Anna Perolls, Head of Fundraising & Resources, you can visit my show website at www.thecommunityshow.net and click on the Past Shows tab and select show #195.

Teddie with her idol, Bagpuss

I‘ve had a rather unusual turn of events since signing off for print with the last issue. I received notification that the Big O Vintage Festival due to take place on the 6/7 July has been cancelled!

Not so good as I know many people were looking forward to it and they were also giving away tickets for the Prize Crossword as well :-( Thankfully the Eden Valley Chamber of Commerce have stepped in and are giving the winner a family ticket to attend the ‘Edenbridge Motor Show & Music Festival’ taking place on Sunday 8th September 2019. This is one of my favourite events and not just because I get to be the MC on stage for the day but because I love the vehicle displays and all the super musical entertainment. It is a huge event for the local Chamber of 14 | www.crowborough-magazine.co.uk • info@crowborough-magazine.co.uk • 01732 864 878

Local Company Awarded 25 Years ‘Certificate of Excellence’ Established in 1977, Insulation Services is a family-run firm based in Crowborough specialising in windows, doors and conservatories.

In recognition of their service to the industry, Insulation Services were recently awarded a ‘Certificate of Excellence’ and were presented with a trophy marking over 25 years membership to the Plastics Window Federation (PWF).

The 2019 Platinum ‘Certificate of Excellence’ awarded to Insulation Services is for achieving and maintaining an impeccable trading record with the Federation and demonstrating the highest standards in both installation and customer service. Keith (from PWF) visited Insulation Services’ showrooms to present the award and certificate to the team; pictured with Keith is Stephen (far left), Sharon and Mark (far right).

Stephen Cottingham, Director said: ‘We are very pleased! We take great pride in our work and the customer service we offer, and we make sure that our customers receive the best quality service every time they use us’.

Over 90% of business originates from recommendations and repeat customers – carrying out a range of home improvements from small scale repairs (e.g. locks and hinges) through replacement windows and doors, up to new build conservatories and orangeries (including all building works).

Insulation Services works with customers in and around Crowborough and across East and West Susses, Kent and Surrey. They are fully accredited FENSA registered installers and provide full guarantees on all installation works. As well as being members of the Federation of Small Businesses, they have been vetted and monitored by ‘Checkatrade’ since 2012 with over 440 customer reviews posted, scoring impressively on reliability, workmanship and courtesy. In association with ‘Checkatrade’, they are also approved by East Sussex Trading Standards.

All this makes for a local reputable business being recognised for long standing service to the residents and business community in and around Crowborough.

A message from the Mayor It’s a huge honour being chosen as the Mayor of the town in which you live. As the first citizen of Crowborough I have been invited to many events and organisations that I simply wouldn’t have known about if I wasn’t Mayor. What continues to surprise me is what a diverse and active place Crowborough is, whether you’re 6 or 76 there is a huge wealth of activities taking place which I simply don’t believe happen in other towns and villages.

Part of my role is to support the various charities and groups that do good for our residents. In Crowborough we are lucky to have so many of these, which are only possible due to the people who give up their free time to run and support them. From Guides, Scouts and Cadets, to elderly lunch groups, and of course our thriving Community Centre and Local Hospital, that without volunteers, and people who devote themselves to our community simply would cease to exist.

I look forward, with excitement and anticipation of what this coming year will take me to as Mayor, as I’m sure I will continue to be surprised by the fabulous people of Crowborough.

Crowborough Town Council Newsletter - Issue 3, 2019

Meet our new councillors Following the local elections held at the start of May, we are delighted to welcome four new councillors to the Council – Cllr Peter Bucklitsch (Central Ward), Cllr Geoffrey Higginson (St Johns Ward), Cllr Gareth Owen-Williams (Jarvis Brook Ward) and Cllr Colin Stocks (Jarvis Brook Ward).

Cllr Geoffrey Higginson “I was born in Crowborough more years ago than I care to remember.

My family on both sides go back a few generations both in St Johns and Whitehill. I moved out of the town in 1967 to join West Sussex Constabulary.

I held a number of security management positions after my police service and moved back to Crowborough in November 2016. My wife, Denise, and I, were married in 2018 and I have two children living in Sussex. I play indoor bowls throughout the year at Tunbridge Wells Royals.

At Crowborough Town Council I will be serving on the Planning & Development, and Sport, Recreation and Cemeteries Committee, as well as representing the council on the Ashdown Forest Liaison Panel. I am passionate about seeking improvements to local policing by Sussex Police, public transport, and planning and general improvements to the town and preserving Ashdown Forest for all to enjoy.”

Cllr Gareth Owen-Williams “I agreed to stand for Jarvis Brook as its councillor for several reasons. As moderator on a large Facebook group, I could see that the residents felt detached and unrepresented and therefore had a negative view of their council.

It’s a vibrant community but needs support and connection with those who administrate and spend our taxes. I hope to restore their faith by linking them with services, speaking on their behalf and helping to make Jarvis Brook a better place in which to live.

I’ve lived here for nearly thirty years and brought up a family in the town. I love the community spirit and look forward to helping at the annual Chamber of Commerce Fun Day when the High Street is full of locals and stalls – something I’d like to see more regularly. Working with more experienced councillors, I want to make our town centre worthy of us and its traders. I’d like to thank all of those who have placed their trust in me.”

Cllr Colin Stocks “I’ve lived in Crowborough since 1995, and in Jarvis Brook since the early noughties. I was elected as a Town Councillor in 2007, and represented the Jarvis Brook Ward for four years. For the final year of that term I was Deputy Mayor.

In addition to being a Town Councillor, I’m the secretary of the Jarvis Brook Community Association, the secretary of Crowborough Fairtrade, and a trustee and volunteer driver for Wealdlink. I want to see Jarvis Brook and Crowborough thrive as good places to live and work.”

Crowborough Town Council Newsletter - Issue 3, 2019

Environment Committee Report Crowborough Annual Boundary Walk Record numbers turned out to take part in this year’s Boundary Walk which took place in glorious sunshine. Over 211 people enjoyed the ten-mile walk taking in some of the most beautiful views in East Sussex. This year saw a number of young children, teenagers and families walking – and they joined the many already experienced walkers, dog walkers and groups who have been enjoying the walk in recent years. A particular mention to the 1414 Air Cadet Squadron, Chapman Troop Scouts and Beacon Pack Cub group who came along with many of their members. The walk began with a welcoming prayer in the warm sunshine by curate of All Saints Church, Tim Hiorns.

First walkers back of the day were father and son team Warren and Liam Alexander-Pye; they were followed by Arthur Pearce from Chapman Scout Troop who came in second. A huge thank you to all those who took part in the walk and made it such a success. In particular we would like to thank Jaqi Taylor from the Crowborough Vale Women’s Institute for handing out much-needed refreshments along the way and to Tim Hiorns for the opening prayers.

We look forward to seeing you all again next year!

They will finish up the show with a ‘Dogs in Action’ spot where their Collie dogs put the ducks through their course of tunnels, slides, Maltese cross, pool and pen.

Hugely popular, we are delighted to be welcoming back the Dog and Duck Show to the Summer Fair for 2019.

May/June 2019 Solution

Unfortunately the event organiser who donated tickets for the last issue’s prize had to cancel the event shortly after we went to print :-( In place of this, organisers of the Edenbridge Motor Show & Music Festival, the Eden Valley Chamber of Commerce, have stepped in and donated a family ticket to the winner to their SPECTACULAR event on Sunday 8th September 2019, an event not to be missed! You can read more about the show on page 40 or visit www.edenbridgemotorshow.co.uk.

July/August 2019 • The Crowborough Magazine

Feature: Pine Grove Pictures - A great evening out in Crowborough The aim of this group is to provide affordable cinema on the doorstep of all residents of Crowborough and the surrounding area.

The film shows are also seen by many as an opportunity for a social event, to meet friends and neighbours at a venue close to home and perhaps enjoy a drink from the bar which opens at 7pm prior to the performance at 8pm. Pre film meals are also available from the Community Centre Café. New state of the art projection and sound equipment was installed in the Community Centre in late 2018 and is in use by Pine Grove Pictures.

Considering an evening out, but want to stay local, then a film at Pine Grove Pictures in Crowborough Community Centre could be the answer. Since showing their first film, Midnight in Paris, in 2014 they have provided film entertainment on one Friday evening of every month.

This not for profit community cinema is run by a small group that forms the committee and is aided by volunteers taking important roles such as projectionists, ticket sellers, bar staff, website designers etc. They found that even with a film each month they struggled to cover all genres and meet all tastes. This led to the extension of “Pine Grove Extra” where five additional films are shown throughout the year, on a Tuesday evening, giving film goers a chance to see World Cinema, Classics and Art House Films.

Films are chosen to appeal to a wide audience and Pine Grove Pictures is not in any sense an exclusive film club. Anyone is very welcome to attend a film. Tickets cost £8 and can either be purchased in advance from the Community Centre (which is on the left hand side as you drive down Pine Grove) or J & K Gallery in Croft Road or bought on the door. Some decide to become members, since at a cost of £8 per annum, it reduces the ticket price to £5 (or £4 for 60+ and students) and means that they receive regular newsletters informing them of latest developments and future films. A full programme of the films to be shown during 2019 is available on the Pine Grove Pictures website www.pinegrovepictures.org.uk or as leaflets in the racks at the Community Centre.

Business Page Crowborough Summer Fun Day Another sunny Saturday once again saw the annual Summer Fun Day attract thousands of visitors to Crowborough Town Centre.

There was the largest number of local business and charity stalls that we have ever hosted (48 in total) plus the French Market offering a fine range of products. Free entertainment in the form of magician, Punch & Judy, face painters, bouncy castle and inflatable fun kept the kids entertained, while music from Rebecca Jabbar, Milly McCarron, Jen Wilson, JaM, Any Other Business and In Choir added to the atmosphere.

Collection buckets were placed around the area and later in the year The Chamber will be presenting Clued Up.Info with the donations. Based in Crowborough town centre, Clued Up.Info is an information shop for young people aged between 11 and 25 years. They provide advice and information on any subject, including; education, training and employment, sex and relationships, family problems, health, housing and welfare, mental health and depression, bullying, alcohol and drug awareness, as well as counselling and liaising with other agencies.

Thank you to all those that gave money to this worthy cause.

The day could not happen without the support of our Main Sponsors: Freedom Leisure, Lawson Commercial, Horder Healthcare, Millennia Garden Machinery, Prosperity IFA and Tester and Jones Funeral Care and of course the small group of volunteers that give their time and lots of energy to make the day possible. A big thank you goes to all of them.

Feature: Singing for Fun Ladies Choir It’s not all work! We have a social get together at the beginning of the Summer break. Last year’s theme was “The Women’s Suffrage Movement” There was a prize for the best outfit, lots to eat, a well stocked bar and a karaoke!

Why don’t you join us? We are a friendly bunch who will make you very welcome. We don’t hold auditions and the ability to read music is not a requirement as the husband of one of our members painstakingly puts all the parts of all our songs on our website so you just download and listen - simples!

“We are ‘Singing for Fun’, a Crowborough based ladies’ choir. Under the guidance of our Musical Director, Mark Beesley, we sing a wide variety of music, anything from Bizet to Bernstein, Lloyd Webber to Vaughan Williams together with a little Fauré or Tchaikovsky and of course Karl Jenkins and John Rutter, in fact, music to suit all tastes. A bit of jazz, a bit of pop, a bit of classical and the occasional piece of opera, what more could a singer ask for! Some songs are sung a capella while others are accompanied by our pianist, Virginia Winton.

We meet on Monday evenings in All Saints Church from 7.30pm to 9.30pm.

Find out more on our website: www.singingforfuncrowborough.com “ - Supplied by Rosemary Wilson

NEXT CONCERT

in aid of Hospice in the Weald

Picnic evening Monday 8th July 2019 7.30pm, All Saints Church Crowborough

We sing in two, three or four parts with a solo now and then for those brave enough!

We hold two concerts each year in aid of charity. The Summer Picnic Concert in July is held, not in the open air because of the unpredictable English weather but in All Saints Church. In December there is the Christmas concert, also held in All Saints.

Sometimes we are asked to sing at other events, such as weddings and funerals and have even sung at a hen party!
