Larry Speare & Shirley Speare ethic to build their own company called ‘Speare and edwards’. Speare and edwards was a hypermarket selling furniture, carpets and beds and eventually rented 21 stores across plymouth and the West country. their 22nd premise came with the opportunity to purchase land with a garage and flats on Rendle Street. Sound familiar? this is the early stages of the 30,000-square-foot store they own today. mr Speare approached charles with the idea to go their separate ways after 16 years of being business partners. mr Speare was offered the building on Rendle Street and shortly after, converted it into a store with a licence to sell. there was a plot of land behind and in front of this building which he also purchased and renovated them into one giant store with a warehouse and car park. he also changed the name to what we all know today ‘larry Speare ltd’.

in 1982 whilst digging up the foundations to create the car park at the front of the building, they discovered a WWii air raid shelter that covered 18,000 square feet. they realised the extent of the air raid shelter when they were initially drilling into the ground and noticed it became too easy to drill. unbeknown to them, they had just found the entrance to the shelter followed by some white painted stairs. larry tells us it’s still all there, accessofholehe’duntouchedcompletelybutneedtodrillainthecornerthecarparktoit.

r Speare was born in plymouth in 1933 as one of 6 children. at the age of 15, larry worked for the co-op in the carpet department for three years after being conscripted into the Royal marines, just before his 18th birthday. he served for 2 years with 45 commandos in Singapore and Borneo before going back to work for the coop as a salesman for vinyl and carpets. mr Speare married his now ex-wife and they had two children, amanda and David. looking for a change of scenery and a different way of life, mr Speare and his ex-wife emigrated to Virginia, america in 1954 where he did some store work for pX canteens. Whilst he was in the States, he had some amazing experiences like riding horseback over the mountains and passing his driving test and then subsequently driving across america. 11 years in america and mr Speare’s exwife missed the British way of life which meant they both moved back to the uk in 1965. A few years later, the marriage collapsed which forced Mr Speare to focus on his career with his full attention. After working for an independent furniture store in Portsmouth and being let down on numerous occasions with pay rises, he decided he wanted to work for himself from that moment onwards. charles edwards was a carpet representative who worked closely with mr Speare over the years and the two combined their knowledge and work

‘Everybody knows thaaaaat!’ Instead, we wanted to delve into Plymouth business legend, Mr Speare’s past, uncover his secrets within the industry and not failing to mention those memorable radio jingles. The majority of 89-year-olds would be 30 years deep into their retirement with their feet up but not Mr Speare. Larry Speare still comes in regularly to ensure his beloved company is running smoothly and he’s not afraid to step back into his shopfloor shoes from time to time. 57 years in business and Mr Speare is still going strong with his wife Shirley and their two sons Kenny and Henry who are both directors, helping to carry it into the 21st century.

A few years after the build, Larry moved house to Yealmpton where he had a beautiful garden with an orchard. Shirley and her mother lived close by and often asked Mr Speare if they could pick some apples which lead to Larry asking her on a date. Fast forward a few years and they were married in 1981 with three children, Kenny, Henry and Taffeta.

With Larry’s competent salesman attitude on top of working 7 days a week, he built the business from the ground up and reinvented the way people buy carpets and beds. Very fast delivery and affordable prices have always been the priority for Larry Speare, ‘We sell what people want and deliver it to them, it’s as easy as that.’

From left to right: Kenny, Larry, Shirley & Henry Carpets & Vinyl Bed showroom

After 57 years in business, Larry tells us, ‘It has been good fun and I have laughed a lot, drank a lot, smoked a lot, but the short of it is, I’m still working and I still love it!’

NEW! Now you can also order from their website and have it delivered to your home without having to come into the store.

Shirley has now been working for the company for 36 years, selling on the shop floor and being Larry’s right-hand woman. Before we got to the store for the interview at 11 am, Shirley told us she just put through a bed sale and organised delivery for it that afternoon! Their two sons have a natural ability to sell as they follow in their father’s footsteps and will eventually take on the business themselves.

Mr Speare was not afraid to test the boundaries of advertising. His most noted adverts were those heard on the local radio stations. Mr Speare was a big fan of the humorous jingles that he liked to have on the radio every half an hour. They never failed to get stuck in your head whether you liked it or not, even children were singing the tunes.

Due to national radio stations taking over the South West and advertising standards becoming stricter, Mr Speare has reduced his advertisement and maintains his customers through word of mouth and social media. After creating a name for himself in Plymouth, he now gets recognised in public if he’s wearing his iconic suit; the encounter is often followed by a handshake, so he tells us. Mr Speare has also met lots of lovely characters himself, his most memorable customer was comedian, Frankie Howard, who continued to be a regular customer and a good friend to Larry.

We’d like to remind you of Mr Speare’s favourite radio jingle and it went a little something like… Mr Speare making his famous jingles “oooooh I’ve got carpets, beds and furniture I’ve got carpets, beds and furniture I’ve got carpets, beds and furniture and my name is Larry Speare”

He worked very closely with his good friend and radio host, David Bassett and they used to have a lot of fun creating the radio jingles and coming up with entertaining slogans. The radio adverts were self-written and voiced by Larry Speare himself which soon became one of the most iconic radio adverts in Plymouth, in turn creating quite the name for himself.

It’s clear to us that Larry still has the same care and passion he had since he first started. Following his knee operation 12 months ago, Larry has had to take a slower pace of life which has given his sons, Kenny and Henry the opportunity to retain the business in the family for years to come. Larry is truly humbled knowing that the business he worked tirelessly to grow will be kept in safe and loving hands.

Borrowing colours from nature to compliment these organic materials have influenced the paint pallets we are Upcyclingusing.

As we are nearing Autumn, try to steer away from seasonal trends, try opting for those that are a little longer lasting to avoid wasting money, time and materials.

old pieces of furniture and accessories are a waste-free alternative to décor that often hold more historic value and are more unique as opposed to new items. Sustainable textile materials have become more widely available which means the items will last longer and won’t carry microplastics that are harmful to the environment.

t’s fascinating to watch how global events transfer over into interior design trends. The most recent shift we are currently witnessing is the awareness of climate change which is causing us to think twice about what our actions may have on the planet and wildlife. These actions such as opting for reusable items rather than disposable, choosing organic materials and produce, re-connecting with nature and converting to greener energy have all played a part in changing our home interiors. The halt to global travel in the past two years has also seen an increase in international styles working their way into our homes. Blending the lines between nature and the indoors has been increasing in popularity with houseplants, natural materials and open-plan spaces all becoming commonplace. Large bifolding doors that lead into the garden and Velux windows with a view of the sky are a brilliant investment as they uplift dark rooms and create a light and airy feel. The organic nature of wood, stone and linen has a tactile quality with naturally warm tones that complement each other well. They also come with a variety of textures which is so important to adding depth, interest and dimension to any room.

Emerging interior design trends and styling inspiration for your home.

InterIor InspIratIon

Arches and curves are replacing harsh, straight lines. This doesn’t need to be shown in the walls of the house but more in the furniture that is chosen. Rounded armchairs and sofas, curved rugs and tables etc. will all help to achieve this effect.

As a result of missed holidays over the past two years, an international influence has been growing in our homes. Botanical feature walls of distant lands, Moroccan-style textiles and tiles, African animal features and desert colours are all on trend.

Two-toned kitchen counters add interest without overcomplicating it. Paint swatches will always show complimentary colours together so that it’s easier to find two colours that match well. If you have a particularly small/dark kitchen, try to avoid darker shades or use the darker shade towards the bottom and save the brighter colour for the overhead cabinets. Furniture Revolution is a local painting company who bring new life to any piece of furniture or kitchen. They use specialist paints to give you a durable finish at the fraction of the cost of replacing it. Frills and pleats are making a comeback! This is a fairly new addition to interior trends this year as the ‘granny’ look is coming back but this time, we are making it chic. Pleated lampshades and frilly armchairs are all a nod to the British country manor aesthetic.

For many sellers, finding a buyer has been the easy part, but securing an onward purchase has been far more challenging causing long delays in chains and frustratingly in some cases, sales collapsing due to the uncertainty. The pandemic encouraged us to take stock and revaluate what we have and the homes we live in. Many homeowners invested heavily in refurbishing their existing properties, creating extensions and garden offices for home working. Due to the there being fewer transactions in the early part of 2020, then coupled with the stamp duty holiday and mortgage lenders easing up on lending criteria, demand simply increased to its highest levels we have ever experienced, on stock levels that were simply at an all-time low. adding to these unique set of circumstances, the West country, which has always been a favourite place for retirees, has then become a destination for professionals and families looking to move to a more rural environment whilst taking advantage of flexible work arrangements. ‘Working from home’ is now commonplace despite nearly all restrictions being lifted across the country, and it looks as though it will stay present in modern living. Why would you want to commute when you can simply go about your normal day-to-day job from the comfort of your home? this self-reflecting behaviour has certainly driven demand on larger houses in semi-rural and rural locations, with buyers relocating from areas that traditionally had a higher average price maximising on the market. We are still experiencing demand for quality family homes across the price spectrum. My advice is that if you are a homeowner and thinking of moving, then now is the right time to go on the market and get yourself into a position to buy, which will enable you to compete with those who can already proceed. in essence, low stock levels have become a self-perpetuating problem. less stock means less of an incentive to list your home, and therefore greater demand on the houses that are available. By holding off marketing your home, it continues to exaggerate the exact issue you experience when looking to buy. at keane & parker, we simply recommend that the best thing to do is to get you house on the market if you are serious about wanting to move. We offer free market appraisals, and a range of services that can get you moved into your next home from a full package with videos, to one-off private viewings. if you would like me to visit your home, then get in touch by...

Working as an estate agent for some 23 years in plymouth and the South hams, i have experienced changing market conditions before, but this feels very different. a short supply of property coming onto the market will always play a role in value change, but it’s good to understand why this has happened and what may alter this in the long term.

Recycle Week - 19th to 25th September. omething that we can all do to help the current state of the environment is by correctly recycling our waste. Encouraging people to recycle was the first step, now we need to step up our recycling habits to ensure we are throwing the right things in the right bins. The core reason why we recycle materials is to reduce the need to grow, harvest or extract new materials from the Earth. Avoiding the harmful disruption to our planet means that fewer forests will be cut down, fewer animals will be harmed or moved and there will be less pollution of water, soil and air. The Earth only has a finite amount of resources therefore, we should be protecting them by reusing what we already have instead of searching for untouched raw materials.

Here is a list of items from www.ecoscraps.com that are commonly mistaken to be recyclable wrap

Image by getcomposting.com

Plymouth City Council has teamed up with www.getcomposting.com to provide us Plymouth residence with our very own composting bin at a reduced cost. Made from 100% recycled plastic, their composting bins offer a sustainable solution to food waste for as little as £25!

What can’t be recycled?

SRECYCLE, RECYCLE, RECYCLE

Unfortunately, Plymouth doesn’t offer food waste bins but that doesn’t mean you can’t still do your bit!

Compost can take between six months to two years to reach its maturity and will resemble crumbly, dark brown soil. This is then perfect for improving vegetables and flowers and can be spread lightly over the grass to help it grow.

Polystyrene Foam Containers • Egg cartons • Take out containers • Drinking cups Soiled Food Items • Food soiled containers • Soiled paper products Other • Broken or sharp glass • Fast-food packaging • Plastic Utensils • Most receipts

You can order your black garden waste bin from www.plymouth.gov. uk and it will be dropped off outside your house. The collection for garden waste varies as they prioritise the green and brown bins first.

This year, the theme is ‘Let’s Get Real’ and will challenge perceptions and myths around recycling.

It’s not just cardboard, plastic and aluminium that can be recycled but food waste and garden waste too! These should be recycled in separate bins and can be used to generate valuable compost for food and crop growth.

Loose Plastic Bags • Plastic shopping bags • Plastic stretch

What we think can be recycled is probably very different to what can be recycled. A common mindset is, the more we recycle, the better for the environment, which is all well and good until we start recycling the wrong things.

Manufacturing recycled products still requires energy to do so, however, it is considerably less compared to generating brand new products from raw materials. In fact, producing recycled aluminium uses 95% less energy than making it from scratch and making recycled paper uses 40% less energy than making it from virgin wood fibres!

The perfect item to be recycled should be sparkling clean and then it can be processed back into exactly the material it was before. There is no direct rule in how clean it should be to get recycled; they will often judge the item individually and make a decision there and then. The dirtier items will be produced into less high-quality materials. So, when it doubt, wash it out!

It seems as if, once people have made the decision to talk to someone, they will find a way to go on and even to build a life that they can enjoy. The challenge is to start talking. Veterans groups can be a real help in this area. they enable men who have absorbed a traditional “man up and be a man” philosophy to talk to people like themselves. men like this are not very likely to see a counsellor or psychotherapist. many people, especially young peo ple under 30, seem to communicate endlessly, facilitated by their ever-pre sent phones. however, face-to-face communication with a physical hu man being is what we have evolved to need. Digital communication has been around for less than human lifetime, whereas we have evolved as people with other people around us, in small connected groups, over hundreds of thousands of years. in a strange way, it may be that the move towards online video counselling, which now makes up all my practice, may in fact be more accessible to younger people than traditional faceto-face work. counsellors and psychotherapists are trained to listen quietly and intently, without breaking in with their own views or issues. therapy is a safe space to talk, however hard it might be for you. Free of the constant bombardment of digital information, the space to just talk is calming and healing. it enables you to gain a real sense of what is going on for you when you can speak it out clearly and with help from an expert to un ravel your thought processes. Good talking takes good listening. If you are in trouble and you need to talk, talk to someone, even if you can’t see the way out. Call the Sa maritans, talk to that one best friend, or ask to talk to a therapist. if you feel someone you know is in despair then give him or her the space to talk. Don’t try to fix any thing, just listen with all your heart and soul. this is what does the trick. any good therapist will tell you, that when all else fails you just shut up and listen. good listening helps everyone to feel better about themselves, and can sometimes save a life. alan chatting is a psychotherapist and coach, and is the author of evolution and you, and Raised by a narcissist, both available on amazon.

20 omplymouthmagazine.co.uk S World Suicide Prevention Day Friday 10th September 2022. World SUICIdE PrEVENTIoN dAY

uicide is a terrible waste of hu man potential. It is a tragedy that a person cannot see his or her own worth as a person. It is heartbreaking that someone is unable to see their value to humanity. every day, in Britain, a man takes his own life every two hours. For women it’s every six hours. and although these numbers have gone down slightly in recent years, they are still far too high. it seems likely that, following the pan demic and the inevitable changes that will follow it, they will only get higher. in every war since Vietnam, the death toll from suicide has exceeded the death toll from violence in the conflict. throughout the world today, in spite of the dreadful conflicts which we see on the news screens every night, men under 50 are more likely to die from suicide than from violent action or warfare. In University counselling services across the UK, two thirds of the clients are women. And yet we have seen that men are in most danger of suicide. Trying to find an identity is very tough in the 21st century. Women are leav ing behind a subservient, “less than”, place in society and are moving on to something different. it can be a strug gle to work out who they are going to be, once the old models of mother and housewife are put to one side. on the other hand, men find themselves with an old-fashioned view of a tough guy who is in charge, which is completely out of date in modern society.

H untington’s Disease (HD) is a progressive brain disorder caused by a defective gene. This disease causes changes in the central area of the brain, which affect movement, mood and thinking skills. The disease affects between one in 10,000 and one in 20,000 people in the UK. It affects men and women equally and there is currently no cure or way of slowing the Disease. Symptoms of huntington’s Disease usually develop between ages 30 and 50, but they can appear as early as age 2 or as late as 80. the hallmark symptom of huntington’s Disease is uncontrolled movement of the arms, legs, head, face and upper body. huntington’s disease also causes a decline in thinking and reasoning skills, including memory, concentration, judgment, and ability to plan and horganise.untington’s disease brain changes lead to alterations in mood, especially depression, anxiety, and uncharacteristic anger and irritability. another common symptom is obsessive-compulsive behaviour, leading a person to repeat the same question or activity over and over.

huntington’s Disease (hD). Since he was young, he has seen the impact this horrendous illness has on not only the person with the disease but their family and friends. however, it was only in the last few years when he really appreciated the level of care someone suffering from hD needs. he watched his dad (adrian) slowly deteriorate with the illness and the impact it had on his mum (gill) who became adrian’s Full-time carer. a couple of years ago gill had to have an operation which meant for a few weeks she could not care for adrian. She spent a long time looking around places where adrian could go for respite care for a couple of weeks. This proved a lot more difficult than expected and although there are some hD specialist places, they can be very expensive. adrian ended up going into a care home, this was not successful, care homes are not set up to give 1-2-1 care or to deal with the range of symptoms seen with hD patients, so they ended up bringing adrian out early and between anthony and his sisters they supported their mum in caring for him.

This along with the proposed Hubs built onto the respite centres gives the wider HD family a place to meet, talk and support each other through the many different challenges we must face and to find out what professional help and support is available by who.”

Sadly, domestic abuse, addiction and mental ill health are rising. Every 6 seconds in Britain, another woman is assaulted in her own home and in the year ending March 2021, there were nearly 850,000 recorded incidents of domestic abuse related crime in the UK1. Trevi are transforming despair into hope by providing vital trauma-informed services for women and children. This simply would not be possible without the support from the local caring and compassionate community.

The Warrior Women route takes in some of Devon’s most stunning scenery. The 10k will walk you around the beautiful Burrator reservoir and rugged moorland of Sheepstor – that’s not all - to test you that little bit further, the charity has planned fun optional activities to challenge you around the route to bring out the female warrior in you!

Trevi reports that Plymouth is one of the largest cities on the south coast with a high prevalence of domestic violence. With a year on year increase of 21%, domestic violence accounts for 27% of all crime in Plymouth compared to the national figure of 16%.

Lucy accessed Sunflower’s services and said, ‘I left my 22-year marriage three years ago after domestic abuse, and Trevi saved my life. I came to Sunflower, did the courses and became a peer mentor to other women. It gave me so much confidence and self-worth. I am now employed by Trevi and love being with the women!’

Trevi hopes that the Warrior Women Walk will become a flagship event for the charity, reaching hundreds or even thousands of women each year.

To make the bread dough, tip the ingredients into a clean bowl and add 1 tbsp fine salt, 200ml cold water and your starter. Bring all the ingredients together to a dough, adding a splash more water if too stiff, then tip out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for at least 10 mins until smooth, elastic and springy (this will take 5-7 mins in a mixer with a dough hook). Place the dough in a clean, lightly oiled bowl, cover with cling film and leave until doubled in size – about 1 hr at room temperature, 3 hrs in the fridge (see tips, below).

Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Place a sturdy flat baking tray on the middle shelf of the oven and a smaller tray with sides underneath. Dust the dough with flour and slash with a utility knife. Slide the bread onto the hot tray on top and throw a few ice cubes (or pour some cold water) onto the tray below – this creates a burst of steam, which helps the bread form a nice crust. Bake for 25-30 mins until the loaf sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom. Leave the bread to cool completely.

The team at OM were kindly invited to a meal at HonkyTonk last month to experience the Wine Library and sample the menu. idyllically situated just a stone’s throw from the water, honkytonk is the perfect location to sit back and enjoy some of the finest wine and cheese that plymouth has to offer. you can be at the Barbican in less than 5 minutes or take a stroll up to the hoe in 10 minutes. there is also ample parking if you are travelling from further afield. We were invited to dine at honkytonk on a Friday afternoon which meant there was a lively atmosphere when we arrived. as you walk into honkytonk, you will notice lots of outdoor seating surrounded by plants and comfortable cushions. on your left is the entrance which takes you into the main restaurant and wine bar where you are then greeted by one of the team. the interior was warm and welcoming with lots of exposed wood and wine barrels which gave off a wine cellar aesthetic. Behind the bar was an enormous array of wine, spirits and bubbly which encompassed the whole of the back wall. We were seated by one of their waitresses towards the back of the restaurant at a large table. HonkyTonk is dog friendly so we bought our office dogs Bella, Stevie, Shiloh and Ellie along with us. As soon as we found our seats, a water bowl was bought out for the dogs along with some dog treats that very quickly disappeared.

Drinks first and as we were at a wine library, it would have been rude not to try some of their wine. edward, the Sales manager and myself ordered the wine flight which consisted of three different wines to try. We decided to choose one red, one white and one rose and then asked the waitress to choose the wine. The wine flight was brought over on a wooden board with the names of each wine written underneath each glass. the white wine was called Dalwood Dry White local which was light, fruity and complimented the mussels perfectly. the rose wine was called portal da calcada Vinho Verde Rose which was floral, fruity and paired well with mature cheese. the red wine was called kewin Descombes Beaujolais ‘cuvee keke’ which was smooth, smokey and complimented the cheeseboard mperfectly.yles,the managing Director, ordered a glass of tatinger and emma, the accounts manager, ordered a nonalcoholic Seedlip gin and tonic. With the drinks ordered, it was time for food. We decided to order some bread, olive oil and balsamic vinegar and some olives as a starter to share. These were some of the nicest olives I have ever tried and the sourdough bread was light and moorish. the waitress told us that all of their food is cooked fresh and to order so there may be a wait of 30 minutes. the slower pace made the whole meal seem more relaxing which felt like more of an experience rather than just a place to eat. the sharing platters appealed to us as a great way to taste the menu whilst accommodating to everybody’s dietary needs. We chose the full honkytonk platter, the vegan sharing platter and a cheese board for the table. the full honkytonk platter came with a choice of tandoori chicken or mussels so as the only two meat eaters of the table, myles tried the chicken and i had the mussels. the rest was shared by the whole table which was more than enough to go around. the full honkytonk platter consisted of three artisan cheeses, a baked camembert, charcuterie meats, crispy chicken wings, onion bhaji’s, chorizo sausages, pate, dauphinoise potatoes and a side of chutneys, crackers, bread and olives which were all divine. The vegan platter was similar to the full HonkyTonk platter but instead consisted of vegan Fysh fingers, filled potatoes, homemade falafel, hummus and pickled soy cucumber. The platter was so full of colour, different textures and flavours that you didn’t feel as though you were missing out on anything. the cheeseboard came with a selection of crackers and fruit which complimented the artisan cheeses. the cheeses were; lincolnshire poacher, gorgonzola Dolce, true grit cheddar and Beauvale which went beautifully with the wine flight. honkytonk also serve a delicious breakfast, comedy nights, wine tastings and private hire and they are taking bookings for our new years eve event - all details are online. Our experience at HonkyTonk lasted quite a few hours as we were all trying the different foods on each platter and enjoying each other’s company. The waiting team and the owners were all very attentive and made sure we were all well looked after. Another visit to Honkytonk is definitely on the cards very soon to be able to try more of the wines on offer and experience the relaxed setting once again.

I Faith Williams

A bright and ambitious 8-year-old thought to herself, ‘I want to be a solicitor when I grow up’, and sure enough, Faith Williams climbed the ranks to become a litigator, opening up two very successful law firms in Lincoln and Plymouth. This is the story of Faith’s rocky journey which never stopped her from achieving her goals. We also learnt more about the law firm and why Faith chose Plymouth to set up her second office. nvested in law from a young age, Faith would be seen watching TV programmes and reading stories from legal cases. She was a particularly hyperactive child therefore, she always liked to be doing something to distract her brain, this meant learning and educating herself on the topic of law. Faith was blessed with her Catholic primary school as everybody was treated as individuals and the teachers would focus on what each student wanted to do. as a high achiever, Faith got into a good secondary school and maintained a* grades until she discovered boys... at a similar time in her life, Faith was diagnosed with me, a chronic fatigue syndrome that meant she had to leave school at the age of 14. Whilst struggling to battle this illness, her brother arran was badly injured in a car incident after they were all walking back from an afternoon of bowling. her brother was in ReSuS for 5 hours and suffered life-changing injuries which halted his career in the circus forever. the family pleaded their case to claim some money from the crash but due to there being no skid marks on the road, the solicitors had no evidence to suggest the driver was speeding. in rage from the result of the case, influenced Faith’s desire to pursue personal injury law and help others defend their case. a year later and things became a little easier with her me diagnosis but then she fell pregnant with olivia making things more complicated for her career. luckily, Faith had a very supportive mother who said to her, ‘Stay at home with me, have that support and you will still achieve everything you wanted to before olivia was born.’ With her mother’s aid, Faith went back into school at 16, just 6 months after olivia was born and achieved the grades to be able to study english, maths, history and Science at lincoln college. Focused on Olivia but determined to get her qualifications, her mother helped look after Olivia so that she could study for a law degree at the University of Lincoln at the age of 21. Her mother helped fund her postgraduate diploma (LPC) so she then went on to study at the College of Law York for 1 year. in a bid to help her mother out and earn some money, Faith took on a temporary job as a receptionist at a law firm in Lincoln and after just 5 days at this job, she showed her interest in the legal industry and was offered the role as administrative assistant for the conveyancing team. 3 years later she worked up to technical manager at the age of 27. through the same law firm, Faith completed a 2-year training course and by the age of 30, she qualified as a solicitor. She then worked for various other firms across the county and yorkshire until 2014 when she suddenly fell out of love with llaw.ost and confused, Faith escaped to the sea where her relatives lived and sat on the beach nearly every day for three months to clear her head. She came to the realisation that it wasn’t law that she fell out of love with, it was the legal industry that she disagreed with. the legal industry can be incredibly money driven with less care given to the individual client and their needs. Faith always enjoyed giving a personable response to her clients and never wanted to give that up. after three months of headspace, Faith worked in a law firm in London where she could work from home. She connected very well with her boss at the time and they spoke openly about her emerging thoughts on starting up her own law firm in lincoln. her boss gave her brilliant advice and tips for starting out and when the time was right, he allowed Faith to take the case she was working on with her to her new abusiness.fterinvesting everything she had, she was left with £5 in her bank, one office and one case which made things particularly scary for her. Faith ventured off on her own with the ambition to grow it into a very successful law firm. Luckily, she was never on her own, she had full support from her family, her previous boss as well as lots of other local law firms and the local press to help get her name out. 1 year later and she was already able to move into a larger office a few streets away. the new premise

The Plymouth office

In 5 years, Faith would love to see both offices thriving and be able to expand the team to keep up with the workload but she still wants to maintain the close-knit, family atmosphere that is currently present in the offices.

The approachability of the firm is something they are proud of and was felt when Myles, the Managing Director and I walked in. They love to be seen as a friendly team of people who truly care about every individual client and what they can do to help them, even if that means just having a chat if they’re feeling a bit lonely.

Send Faith an email: faith@faithwilliamslaw.com

Everybody is entitled to a free consultation where they can receive initial advice without the pressure of a time limit. If they feel that their clients would be better off financially by dealing with it themselves then they will give them the information needed to pursue the issue, and if it’s a complex case, they will then take it to the next step. They are always fair and honest with their clients and do their best to instruct them through the whole process.

“ used to be a bathroom shop which resulted in Faith ripping out tiles and turning it into a conventional office space all by herself to save money. Year 7 into the business and the Lincoln office is thriving. You may be asking yourself, what about Plymouth? 1 year ago, Faith was thinking about opening a new office along the south coast. Lots of her family are living along the south coast from Portsmouth to Exeter which meant she spent lots of childhood holidays in Devon and Dorset. Faith picked up a few clients in Plymouth from word of mouth and it just so happened that Olivia was thinking of moving to Plymouth with her boyfriend at the time. Faith Williams Law’s ethos is all about making the process as relaxing and stress-free as possible and to Faith, the ocean and animals are the ultimate stress-reliever. You may have noticed in their logo, that they have incorporated a dolphin within a wave for the ‘A’ and as soon as Faith saw that the Dolphin Building in Queen Anne’s Battery was available to rent, it all seemed to fit perfectly.

Reception Her fees for Litigation are £240p/hr which will remain stable for at least 3-4 years giving her clients peace of mind that they won’t rise with inflation.

Faith’s life hasn’t been smooth sailing but after all of the hardship, she has achieved her childhood dream and brought it to new heights that she never thought possible. With the loving support of her mother by her side and everybody who supported her journey in starting a new law firm, she has been able to make her 8-year-old self very proud.

Faith tells us that none of the team are on targets and that is because it’s always about the quality of service rather than the number of clients.

Due to the location of the office in Plymouth, they focus on private clients whereas their larger office in Lincoln can cover a more varied array of Faithclients.Williams Law offers all types of legal services apart from criminal law and employment law, however, with a new solicitor, they may be able to begin practising employment law. Faith is a qualified Litigator and specialises in Conveyancing as well as Family Law, Civil Dispute Resolution, Negligence Cases, and Wills and ThereCodicils.isnodoubt that Faith is a hard worker to have been through so much and to still be where she is now. She has since cut her hours down from working 7 days a week and barely any holidays to a more regular 5 days a week with weekends off. With both offices growing, she is happy to distribute the workload and eventually grow the team so that she can step back to be able to enjoy her free time.

Plymouth office with sea view Faith says, ‘It’s like being in Spain here. I love watching the boats whilst having my morning coffee.’

The first few months after opening the Plymouth office felt like starting from scratch again to Faith but it is gradually picking up through word of mouth. Faith is very flexible with her work; herself and her team are able to practice the same cases in the Lincoln office and the Plymouth office or they can work remotely. If Faith isn’t in the office, you will always be greeted with a smile by their receptionist who is happy to help you.

The most rewarding case that Faith has won was a battle between the dog rescue centre and the owner of the dogs. Faith felt very dedicated to this case as an animal lover and dog owner herself and she knew that if the rescue dogs went back to their owner then the dogs would be in danger. It was a very complex case but Faith managed to win the battle and save the Dogsdogs.are welcome in both of her offices if the client needs some comfort and therapy. Faith often brings her Chow Chow into the office from time to time. Her passion for dogs doesn’t stop there as she has charity pots for Guide Dogs for the Blind in both of her offices.

In 2021 the club expanded to 4 teams, in 4 different age groups. Based in Mount Gould, the club is community focused with many players coming from the area.

The current u11s have been a team for 1 season and came together in the summer of 2021. Carl Burton has only been the Manager since the beginning of October 2021. In their first season they have gone from strength to strength. The boys development has been outstanding and their commitment and hard-work can’t be questioned. Initially they found the games competitive and struggled. But they kept going, and at the end of Nov 2021, won their first match. That gave the team a massive confidence boost and the believe they can play football. In the beginning of 2022 the wins kept coming. Yes they lost games as well, but kept believing. The biggest achievement for the team last season was the winning of the Foxtor Premier u10s Cup. An absolutely fantastic achievement for the not only the team, but also the club. A triumph that is massive for a first season team.

Having Avalon Legal - Colin, Karen and Grace support and sponsor us is brilliant. We are very thankful, particularly in the current economic climate. We really heavily on volunteers and parents to keep teams running, so support from local businesses is massive for us. With the help from Colin, Karen and Grace we can keep these boys playing football and welcome them fully to being part of the Mount Gould Family.

“We greatly appreciate any help we as a club can receive. As a team we are trying to support our local community and ensure Children from the Mount Gould / Lipson areas of Plymouth, can be involved with and play Football. We have developed a very strong team / community togetherness within the team. As a team will have only been together for 1 season, but in that time we have achieved massively. We gained promotion to league 3 in after our first season, and also won our divisional Cup. Fantastic achievements for a first season team.” - Carl Burton
