New pet care franchise is the business, says Nigel A WEST Sussex-based entrepreneur has left his desk job to start a new business venture caring for pets. Nigel Fitzsimmons left his role as a sales and marketing manager to develop a Bognor Regis and Chichester-based pet care franchise under the established ‘Pets, Homes and Gardens’ business banner. Nigel, who joins 15 franchisees already running a business under the PHG model said: “I’ve been dreaming of a business of my own and have been in discussions with Julie and Peter Maxted who run the PHG umbrella company. “I’ve owned and cared for cats and dogs as well as other animals all my life and decided this was such an obvious choice for me to make a success of a business, doing something I’m passionate about. "In caring for pets for so many years, in many ways I feel like I’ve already been running the business unofficially for so long. THe experience I’ve gained through my career will certainly help me." THere will be various services of the pet-care sector offered covering the whole of the Bognor Regis and Chichester areas including dog boarding, walking, plus small animal boarding, cat and small animal home visits as well as all types of home services large and small from plant watering, opening and closing curtains to short and longer term house-sitting. Nigel added: “Pet owners need to feel secure in knowing that when they are at work or on holiday, their pets are left in safe hands and that they are regarded as important and treasured as they should be. “People need reassurance they can depend on support of someone kind-hearted and an animal lover. "Above all, it’s important that pets are safe, happy and content and owners can rest assured that their loveable, furry friends are being cared for by someone they can trust.

'We need to show thanks to our dedicated war heroes' By Ruth Scammell ruth.scammell@sussexpost.co.uk 01243 908506 A FORMER Royal Naval Officer has spoken of the importance of showing our war heroes just what they mean to us in Chichester. Councillor Bruce Finch, cabinet member for support services at Chichester District Council, who is one who dedicated his life to service said many do not realise just how much our service men and women give to the cause, and he wants the city to be the biggest and best in showing our thanks. He has said he hopes more people in the community show their support for those serving in the forces by supporting Armed Forces Day. Armed Forces Day is a ntional event, which this year is taking place on Saturday, June 25. Events are due to take place up and down the country. Cllr. Finch said: “It is timely to recognise the pivotal role our armed forces play in promoting freedom and defending our democracy and way of life here in the UK and in our overseas territories. “All our armed forces play a vital role in the UK, ranging from helping in civil emergencies, supporting
our great national events and promoting youth training through cadet forces. "“THe men and women of our armed forces and their families give so much to their country. “We want our servicemen and women to know how much we value the contribution they make to our society.” Cllr. Finch said it was important that Chichester "stepped up to the plate" in the wake of news that Bognor Regis has cancelled their celebrations for the formerly hugely popular event, which included bands, a parade and a flying display. David Hewings from the Bognor Regis branch of the RAF Association, which normally organises the event said they had become "victims of their own success" because locals had all said 2015's event was the biggest and best yet. Unfortunately, Mr. Hewings said last year's extravaganza had left them all exhausted as veterans. He said hopefully a new management team can be found to bring the event back in 2017. Cllr. Finch said Chichester District Council is looking forward to showing its support. “As a council we have pledged to make sure that armed forces personnel and their families in the Chichester
district have easy access to support from their local council, by signing the Armed Forces Covenant," he said. “THis covenant is particularly of value to our local armed forces personnel, many of whom are based at the Royal Artillery’s Baker Barracks in THorney Island, and those who have left the forces to resettle locally. Cllr. Finch said there are many events people can take part in on Armed Forces Day and he is encouraging people to step up. “THis is a chance to show your support for the men and women who make up our armed forces community. THis includes serving troops, service families, veterans and cadets. "In Chichester we have a proud tradition of supporting our armed forces and many veterans from all three services have made their homes here. “As a council we will be showing our support by flying the Armed Forces Day from 20 June and we will continue to recognise the vital role our armed forces personnel play in protecting our freedom and way of life.” To find out more please visit armedforcesday.org.uk or get in touch with us to share details of what you have planned at news@sussexpost.co.uk
