CRAFTSMAN OF EXCELLENCE DESIGNERS & MAKERS OF BESPOKE FURNITURE ESTABLISHED 38 YEARS.

DAVID J. MARTIN 210 Springvale Road, Walkley, Sheffield S6 3NU Monday to Friday 8am - 5.00pm, Saturday by appointment only Telephone: 0114 268 6718 www.david-j-martin.co.uk

Attention to detail DAVID J MARTIN’S PAINSTAKING METHODS MEAN EVERY BESPOKE PIECE OF FURNITURE IS GUARANTEED TO BE UNIQUE AND BEAUTIFUL. n these days of mass produced furniture, it’s good to know there is a well-established business dedicated to creating beautiful bespoke, handmade pieces for your kitchen, bedroom, study or lounge.

Not only does David J Martin have a stunning showroom, customers are also amazed to find their huge on-site workshop on the bottom floor, meaning everything is done in-house, enabling owner David to guarantee high quality at every stage of he process.

There’s a team of eight, highly trained carpenters working on kitchen cabinets and islands, bedroom furniture, desks and study furniture, each one made unique to order.

David himself is a carpenter by trade, training for years before completing a degree in the subject. He ensures his staff are trained to the highest standard, resulting in the finest quality products.

“Our attention to detail is second to none and this makes us stand out from the crowd,” said David. “We are not held to ransom by mass-produced products as we make everything from scratch – even down to making our own cutters for producing mouldings.”

This means you can add to your kitchen in years to come and the company will still be able to match the designs.

In the David J Martin showroom, a

stunning range of kitchens is on display, but the company also produces bespoke furniture for every room in the house. They cater to all styles, from traditional to modern handless kitchens, while cocktail cabinets are particularly on trend right now.

After an initial customer consultation, when David will discuss budgets and offer expert design advice, the cabinetmakers work from plans drawn by David and create bespoke furniture, which can be sprayed to high gloss or satin finishes using durable Two Pac paint.

David J Martin’s professional sprayer can apply any colour you wish in their paintspraying booth, giving a modern finish with no joins. That means water cannot seep in and cause peeling – something that can happen with vinyl-wrapped doors.

For those customers undertaking full refurbishment of their home, David J Martin can provide a one-stop shop for structural, plumbing and electricity work, as well as building furniture.

For David it’s all about creating a high quality customer experience, whether the job be big or small. One call to David J Martin could result in a stunning new extension, complete with kitchen, plumbing and electricity – David only employs the best tradesmen.

In the company’s 37 years of trading, David J Martin has built a superb reputation for

customer satisfaction. The company is highly regarded for their customer and after-sales service, ensuring that every customer is a happy one and fixing any problems with their furniture, whether that be two weeks or ten years down the line.

For more information, or to see what is on offer, call 0114 268 6718 or check out the website www.david-j-martin.co.uk.

Cold comfort BRING SOME WARMTH INTO YOUR HOME THIS WINTER, SCANDI-STYLE.

BY RHIANA HUGHES.

s the sun starts to set on our unusually hot summer, you’re probably thinking of ways to warm up your home for the winter. Just like us Brits, Scandinavians see plenty of light in the summer months but very little in the winter, and it’s this that inspires the way they design their homes.

Incorporating clean lines and a blend of textures, contrasts and soft hues, the Scandinavians turn what could seem cold modern furniture into warm and inviting pieces of décor.

So whether you want to submit to the winter chill and wrap up by the fire or whether you’re still clinging onto summer and want to bring the outdoors in, you’re sure to find plenty here to get your home Scandi-styled.

INTRODUCING

Kick out the Buckets!

The advent of Sprenkler has made floor cleaning far quicker and above all more efficient. The days of lugging buckets of dirty water and wringing dirty mops just massaging the dirt around instead of removing it are gone forever now that Sprenkler is on the scene.

A touch of the button at the top of the mop handle dispenses just the right amount of water on the floor area to be cleaned. The water reservoir is an in-built feature of the lightweight aluminium handle - it holds 500ml of water, enough to clean an incredible one hundred square metres of floor area! Sprenkler is extremely efficient at removing dirt.

Mop wringers and buckets are definitely out!

Button-controlled water dispenser Floors dry as quick as 90 seconds!

Leaves no smears Always ready for use Cleans more floor area in less time Perfect cleaning results with less labour and NO CHEMICALS NO PLASTIC BOTTLES

BAMFORDS RELIVES THE GOLDEN AGE OF THE PICNIC WITH SOME CLASSIC AUCTION ITEMS.

lthough the word pique-nique finds its origins in 17th century France, the great age of the picnic as we know it today was between the world wars in the 1920s and 1930s.

This fabulous picnic car hamper, included in Bamfords October Country Home Auction, was discovered in an old boiler room in one of the outbuildings on the Duke of Portlandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s estate and commands an estimate of £600-1,000.

Made by the great Drew & Sons, this was the type of set commissioned by members of

A

the Royal family, including Queen Victoria, and members of the courts of Europe during the first 30 years of motoring, as an accessory for a Rolls Royce, Lagonda or other top automobiles.

The company had always specialised in furnishings designed to be moved. Starting in 1844 they made good quality leather goods and were commissioned to make campaign furniture for some of Britainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leading generals, such as this campaign chest just sold at Bamfords previously for £2,100.

Think clearly SPRING IS THE PERFECT TIME TO TURN YOUR ATTENTION TO HOME IMPROVEMENTS – AND THAT INCLUDES YOUR WINDOWS AND DOORS. f there is one thing most of us take for granted, it is the maintenance of our homes – specifically windows and doors. After all, how much maintenance could they need?

Well, there’s much more to it than just installing them, as with any part of your house, windows and doors are prone to damage; hinges rust and start squeaking, rubber seals expire and your house gets draughty, locks jam and prevent your windows from opening or closing properly.

These things are more common than you might think, and as we move into spring, and subsequently summer, now is the time you might want to start thinking about how to get the most out of your property.

The benefits of maintaining your home is often touted in the colder months, however, it’s not just during winter that window and door repairs are a fantastic idea – quality glazing also keeps homes cool during spells of hot weather, and is a great way to make your home more energy efficient.

As one of the leading glazing experts in the Eckington area, C Clear Glass and Glazing Services know the many advantages of weather-resistant windows and doors, and can handle all types of repairs and

And the team will also ensure your property is left clean and tidy at the end of each day.

Stairway to heaven MAKING A BIG IMPRESSION IS EASIER THAN YOU THINK... staircase is often the first thing we see when we enter a house, so give yours the best impression possible with the help of Stairkraft.

Many people think that the best way to update their staircase is to install a completely new one, but the Stairkraft team have the experience and knowhow to step up your existing stairs.

“A makeover is aimed at customers who are looking to update or revamp an existing staircase without the disruption of major building works,” says Stairkraft co-owner, Viveca Hall. “This normally entails replacing the existing handrail, treads and balustrade, made with traditional spindles for supporting structural glass. The staircase structure, stringers and newel posts can be kept and painted.

“Stairkraft offers a full design and installation service. Our own in-house fitting team has over 20 years’ experience within the construction and metal fabrication industry.”

Customers with traditional softwood joinery banister choose Stairkraft’s glass designs because they instantly modernise a home – it’s a simple job that creates a big difference. What’s more, a staircase upgrade is fantastic value for money, with prices starting at just £2,000 plus VAT. White oak is particularly popular, but

Stairkraft also offers a wide range of 18mm thick hardwood timbers, including engineered timber. With plenty of choice on offer, the team are able to meet almost any client’s design brief.

All designs proposed are backed up and presented with 3D views for the client to approve prior to manufacture. A site visit to carry out a full survey is also included in the service, together with full set of technical drawings.

Once all the items are manufactured, their installation team will deliver and fit the staircase components at a time that suits you.

A full makeover takes between four and five days.

All glass used is toughened, structural glass to take the weight of the balustrade, whilst achieving a flawless look. Infill glass panels are another great alternative, depending on your particular design.

Stairkraft offers both new bespoke designs and makeovers. Contact the team on info@stairkraft.co.uk with your project details or drop by their Sheffield office to discuss your needs.

Testimonial: “We must thank you and give you a loud cheer for sending two excellent guys to adjust the steel work ready for the eventual final installation. Good men like Kevin and John are a pleasure to have around. We very much hope you will be able to send them to do the final work when the time comes. They worked together well, purposely, with great care and attention to detail. They explained to us what was wrong, how it could/would be corrected and how it would all look when the treads and glass were fitted. And they left a very clean and tidy site. Our vote goes to Staikraft – top of the class!”

LUXURY BATHROOMS AND WETROOMS

BATHROOM Mary of Barlborough, visited our showroom to explore her options for her small, awkward 2nd bathroom. After returning to the showroom to look at her designs Mary was so impressed that she asked us to tackle her main bathroom as well....Mary proceeded with both bathrooms.

“We employed Bubble & Soak to work on our upstairs bathroom after a water leak, and they did such a good job we ended up using them for our downstairs bathroom too.

Natalie came to the house to do all the designs and she was so good. We actually went away on holiday for the second lot of work and felt confident enough to let them get on with it.

When we came back the work was done, exactly as we had asked, and to a very high standard.

After Before

“From start to finish everyone was so professional and helpful, I’d definitely recommend Bubble & Soak.” - Mary For her large downstairs bathroom Mary wanted something ‘WOW’ whilst still being feminine and relaxing. We supplied her with a stunning Ashton & Bentley stone bath and shaker style furniture from The Bathroom Furniture Company, both of which are manufactured in the UK. We complimented this with Vitra sanitaryware, Vado brassware and amazing feature tiles all supplied by Bubble & Soak.

In the upstairs bathroom we were faced with an unusual space to work with, to make best use of this awkward bathroom we built out underneath the sloping roof so that we could mount the vanity unit and LED mirror to give a complete useable vanity area, with full ceiling height. We carefully selected a Britton curved shower bath to soften the sharp edge and increase floor space and an Aqualisa digital shower control was positioned at the end of the bath enabling Mary to switch on the shower to her desired temperature before entering.

EATING OUT

Made for sharing IS CHRIS WILSON A HUNTER, FISHER OR GARDENER? HE HEADS TO BROCCO KITCHEN TO FIND OUT. change of season brings another good reason to visit Brocco Kitchen, the Scandi-styled contemporary dining room situated within the multi-award winning boutique hotel Brocco on the Park.

Head chef Leslie Buddington and his team have created a new autumn menu that is jampacked with inspired food combinations, designed to bring the best out of all that’s available as the year enters its final quarter.

The sharing plate smorgasbord that has become something of a Brocco speciality remains at the heart of the dining experience and proved to be the perfect way to ease in to the weekend as we shared a memorable Friday lunchtime, with glorious late September sunshine showing off the pristine and pretty room in the best possible light.

There are three separate sections on the sharing plate menu – the hunter, the fisher and the gardener – and the latter section is particularly impressive. It doesn’t just cater for vegetarians and vegans, it celebrated the cuisine with dishes that read so temptingly, my recent attempts to be a little more healthconscious and cut down on red meat did not seem like any kind of sacrifice or hardship.

Between two of us four small plates and a side-order of triple-cooked chips (£3.50) was just about right. Roasted Jerusalem artichokes, served with artichoke purée, wild mushroom and truffle oil (£9) was satisfyingly earthy and the baked celeriac with mustard cream,

A

72 www.sheffieldvibe.com

poached egg and kale crisps (£9) was a lovely delicate contrast of tastes and textures.

Our remaining two dishes came from the fisher section. Seared scallops with roasted cauliflower purée, apple and black olive crumble (£13) really hit the spot while roasted cod fillet with confit chicken wings, artichoke crisps and wild mushroom sauce (£12) was possibly my favourite dish of the day.

On another day I’d have happily tackled a couple of dishes from the hunter section.

Intriguing combinations like pork ribeye with cauliflower piccalilli, black pudding fritter and parsnip crisps, or Swedish meatballs in mustard sauce with pickled red cabbage, demand further investigation.

This mix-and-match approach to modern British food with a Nordic twist definitely ticks a lot of boxes for me. It feels progressive and gives an extra sense of adventure to the dining experience. But if you are hankering after the more traditional main course there are always big specials on offer, such as the hearty-looking meat pie on the day we visited.

The Brocco wine list is always impressive but I was knocked sideways by a guest beer that was impressively different and perfectly matched the food and the occasion. Binary Botanical Ale (£10 for a 660ml bottle) was light and refreshing, like a Prosecco but more gluggable. “Share with a pal,” suggests the menu but I was more than happy to polish off

the bottle when my companion, having registered her approval with a small sip, moved on to a mocktail. Not really my thing but if you are contemplating signing off the hard stuff the Seedlip botanical garden (£6), a non-alcoholic gin-like spirit and tonic at least looks the part and has intriguing bitter herbal finish.

Desserts continued the high standards as we shared a roasted cherry, brandy and almond pudding with gingerbread ice cream (£8) and a white chocolate and orange panna cotta, with chocolate soil and sesame tuille (£7).

Renew the sentiment FANCY GIVING AN UNUSED BUT MUCH-LOVED PIECE OF JEWELLERY A NEW LEASE OF LIFE? ZOE LEWIS, JEWELLER AND GEMMOLOGIST AT PA JEWELLERY, HAS SOME GOOD ADVICE. ur workshop is regularly asked to turn customerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own jewellery, sometimes family items that have been kept in a jewellery box unworn for years, into something new that can be worn and enjoyed again.

This is a great way to make items such as wedding rings even more special or to create a one-off piece that will remind you of a loved one. As well as retaining sentimental value it can also be a cost-effective route to producing beautiful jewellery and as we all become more conscious of environmental issues, it offers an increasingly popular way to recycle old pieces that are damaged or no longer worn.

It is usually possible to combine several existing pieces together to create your new design, even if the fineness of the gold differs (i.e. 9ct or 18ct gold). And in addition to gold it is also possible to work with your silver or platinum, although different metals cannot be mixed.

Popular commissions include wedding

O

bands and solid bangles, but we have also been asked to create a variety of pendant, charm and earring designs too. Your ideas can combine with the talent of the goldsmiths in our workshop to produce unique pieces reflecting your taste, personality or interests.

If you have diamonds or other gemstones in your jewellery, then you can often incorporate these into your design too; they can make your piece feel even more personal.

Another great way to make your jewellery stand out is to add an engraved pattern to give a beautiful finish, recreating a traditional design or adding a modern twist.

Designs made in our workshop are also hallmarked at the Sheffield Assay Office, adding the perfect local finishing touch.

Many of our customers want to use family gold to make their wedding bands but need the finished piece to match their white gold or platinum jewellery. While it is possible to simply rhodium plate a yellow gold piece, this is not practical for a wedding ring as the yellow

colour underneath will begin to show through as soon as the first few scratches occur.

However, our goldsmiths can fuse your gold with an outer band made from white gold, platinum or palladium, producing a ring that appears white on the outside while hiding its sentimental gold core beneath.

Similar techniques can be used to produce a two-colour design with your gold inlaid into a white metal or vice versa.

Our expert jewellers can advise you on what is possible with your treasured items, discuss your ideas and help you create the perfect design. As our workshop is on-site we can also normally provide a quote while you are in the showroom making the process as straightforward as possible.

Are you prepared?

WRITE YOUR WILL NOW AND HELP SHEFFIELD CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL TO CONTINUE ITS VITAL WORK.

Dear Reader, s a mum of two I am constantly prepared with a snack or a spare piece of clothing! We all plan for the day, week, special occasions but how many of us are prepared for the future?

That’s why I’m writing to you today.

My daughter Matilda is three years old and my son Ailbe has just turned 18 months old.

They keep me on my toes but I know I'm very lucky. I think about their next birthday and look back at pictures of when they were born.

The future seems very far away and isn't something I am prepared for, it’s not on my list of priorities but I know it is inevitable.

I don't know what my children will become but I hope they will feel loved. When the time comes, I want to help other families from all walks of life, as they’ll need the help of Sheffield Children's Hospital too. Some of these children are probably not even born yet

but could be our future doctors, teachers, leaders and of course a twinkle in their parents’ eye.

Working at The Children's Hospital Charity I've met families who have had their worlds turned upside down. It's a testament to our hospital that these families always remember the incredible care they've received. You really don't appreciate until you really need it.

I’ll be honest, I keep putting off writing a will but now seems as good time to finally get it done. I’ll definitely be writing one this year and I hope you’ll join me in leaving a legacy that will help generations to come.

Thank you for your time,

Share the secret IT’S TIME TO START SPREADING THE WORD ABOUT YOUR NEW FAVOURITE SHOE SHOP – THE SECRET SHOE BOX. ssst… Pssst! Over here… Do you want in on a secret?

You do? Right, well there’s a Secret Shoe Box in Sheffield!

So secret is this shoe shop that it’s been hiding in plain sight, right under our noses, atop the legendary West Street cobblers, Cobblers and Keys for months now.

The shop is, in fact, an extension of the renowned cobblers and sells high-end quality men’s footwear (the women’s range is soon to be expanded). It’s a proper shoe emporium and a definite paradise for any self-respecting coveter of ones and twos.

There’s a chilled atmosphere in the intimate shop, which is decked out with a forties aesthetic, complete with an old school shoe

P

shining chair and a range of over 60 different styles from retail favourites Loakes and Barkers.

So, now you’re in the know, but why the sudden urge to let the cat out of the bag?

Well, Glen Hardy, a man with over 20 years’ experience selling shoes, is the answer. Glen has taken up a shoe consultancy position in the shop and has decided to put his foot down and bare his sole.

“It’s about getting the word out and sharing the secret,” says Glen: “It’s got people talking and that’s what we’re trying to achieve, but we’ve got to make it work by letting people know we’re here.

“We want to be a destination where people want to come to. It’s all about awareness and getting the word out there for now.”

Glen is a Sheffield resident who worked as the manager of Jones Bootmaker, on Pinstone Street, for over 20 years,

before moving to Meadowhall and selling shoes there.

Glen told us: “I worked for Jones Bootmaker for over 20 years so I do know footwear, but I also know the corporate side.

The advantage we have is that we can react to a customer within days, and say, right, you want that we can get it for you. If you’re corporate you can only sell what you’ve got.

“I was a customer here, and that’s the only reason I’m here. I was selling plastic ladies shoes in Meadowhall and I resigned. Initially I came for the afternoon, Nick (the owner) said come in and look at the ranges. I want to believe in what I’m selling and this is a product I believe in.

And Glen is confident that the range in The Secret Shoe Box can’t be beaten.

To test Glen’s theory head along to The Secret Shoe Box, on West Street, any day of the week. Glen also encourages people to get in touch via Facebook with requests and he will try to accommodate them.

To sweeten the deal they are currently offering a ten per cent discount on shoes, and as a special incentive, if you mention your favourite Sheffield news source (that’s us!) you’ll get a further five per cent, which for the maths whizzes among us means a full 15 per cent off. There’s never been a better time to get that brogue you’ve been after.

I would have no hesitation in recommending Hallamshire Physiotherapy. Truly Exceptional.”

Little miracles WITH THE ADDITION OF A NEW SERVICE, JESSOP FERTILITY LEAD THE WAY IN HELPING COUPLES WHO ARE STRUGGLING TO CONCEIVE.

92 www.sheffieldvibe.com

PROMOTION

VF (In Vitro Fertilisation) has been helping couples conceive for just over 40 years. During this time, great strides have been made in the field of assisted conception and over six million babies have been born worldwide as a result of these ground-breaking treatments.

Leading the way for South Yorkshire is Jessop Fertility, part of Sheffield Teaching Hospitals. The Assisted Conception Unit opened in 2001, and over the last 17 years has helped thousands of patients achieve their dream of becoming a family by using the latest treatments and technological advances.

The use of the latest technology has led to considerable improvements in the chance of treatment being successful and the latest figures speak for themselves. This year Jessop Fertility have had their best ever results showing that, overall, 48.6 per cent of IVF treatment cycles (in women aged 18-45) will result in a clinical pregnancy. In addition, 51 per cent of patients have embryos suitable for freezing, which can be used at a later date.

One of the most important recent developments has been the introduction of the latest state-of-the-art time-lapse incubators. This enables embryos to be placed in an incubator where their development is uninterrupted and can be monitored closely. This allows the scientists to select the embryo that has the best chance of achieving a pregnancy.

Whether you are receiving IVF through the NHS or are funding it yourself, all treatments at Jessop Fertility include timelapse technology, embryo glue and early pregnancy monitoring.

I

Jonathan Skull is clinical head of the unit and is delighted to report the best ever success rates at Jessop Fertility

Davina Hulme is a senior embryologist and is excited to be bringing the latest technologies to Jessop Fertility

“All our team strive to provide the best possible care and support to our patients through what can be a very stressful and emotionally demanding experience.”

As well as IVF, Jessop Fertility offers a full range of fertility treatments, including a comprehensive range of assisted conception techniques such as Intra-Cytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) and treatments involving donor sperm and eggs.

The unit is about to launch a PreImplantation Genetic Screening (PGS) service.

The PGS service involves the careful removal of a few cells from the outside of an embryo to check that it has the correct number of chromosomes.

Davina Hulme is a senior embryologist at Jessop Fertility and has many years’ experience in this technique.

She explains: “By ensuring that the embryo has the correct genetic makeup, we can select the embryo with the best chance of becoming a healthy baby. This treatment may benefit some patients who have had repeated unsuccessful treatments, or some older patients and will help improve the already fantastic results at Jessop Fertility.”

Jessop Fertility also offers a PreImplantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD) service for couples who are at risk of having a child with a genetic condition. Currently this service is offered as a satellite service

alongside Guy’s and St Thomas’ Hospital in London. With the PGD service, the genetic team work alongside the fertility team in the Jessop Wing. The patients are prepared for treatment in Sheffield and when they are ready for their eggs to be harvested, they travel to Guy’s in London for the egg collection and for the embryos to be tested.

Jonathan Skull, the clinical lead at Jessop Fertility, explains: “We work with Guy’s in a satellite capacity throughout, but our patients still need to travel down to London for some aspect of their treatment. With the development of our embryo biopsy service it means that we will soon be able to offer all the treatment in Sheffield, which will make the whole process quicker and easier for patients, with no need to travel elsewhere.”

Although the latest developments are exciting and lead to an improved chance of pregnancy, Jonathan added: “The most important aspect of treatment is that we treat patients with sensitivity and compassion. All our team strive to provide the best possible care and support to our patients through what can be a very stressful and emotionally demanding experience.”

EATING OUT

Sunday service A NEW LOOK AND A NEW WEEKEND LUNCH MENU ARE THE ORDER OF THE DAY FOR PHOEBE SEYMOUR AS SHE VISITS THE BULL’S HEAD. ub food classics are all very well and good, but if you really want to put a local’s culinary skills to the test, a Sunday dinner is the way to go.

The Bulls Head in Ranmoor has always been one of the most prominent and well established pubs in the area, so it takes an equally reputable owner to take on such a beast.

Heather Gamwells took over as landlady six months ago, and having previously run The Springvale Tavern in Commonside, has a wealth of pub knowledge and experience.

She has already made her mark on The Bulls Head by giving it a full refurbishment.

A green feature wall covered in botanicals and birds, cosy lighting and sumptuous chequered armchairs have turned this suburban pub into a country retreat.

As my partner and I arrived, I noticed it was a place that welcomes everyone, from the footy fans gathered around a big screen in the corner to the families and couples in the open plan dining area.

We swiftly made a beeline to the bar, where I ordered a half of Open Gate Pilsner (£2.10), a strong lager with citrus undertones, and my partner had a glass bottle of CocaCola (£1.50). I had to agree – it somehow

P

98 www.sheffieldvibe.com

tastes so much better served this way.

Opposed to the self-serve carvery style, Heather makes each Sunday dinner individually in the kitchen. You can choose one to three courses from the extensive Sunday menu, so we decided to go all out and order three courses for the bargain price of £13.50.

I started with the garlic mushrooms and my partner had the hot and spicy chicken wings.

The mushrooms were juicy and coated in a crisp breadcrumb and were accompanied by a garlic dip, resembling a vegetarian version of the pub classic, scampi. My partner’s chicken wings came in a sticky sauce with a spicy hit and were accompanied by two cool and creamy dips to nicely balance out the flavours.

The pub believes in using as much local produce as possible, so all of the meat on their menu is supplied by Chris Beech, butcher and owner of Beeches of Walkley. My partner chose the Bakewell beef and I had the Mediterranean vegetable Wellington – both served with impressively huge roast potatoes, mountains of colourful vegetables, a homemade Yorkshire pudding and a jug of gravy.

The tomato and herb sauce and Mediterranean vegetables of the Wellington

went surprisingly well with the rich flavour of the gravy, and my partner had mopped up every tender morsel of his beef in no time.

A traditional rhubarb and apple crumble with cream for me and a warm slice of chocolate cake with ice cream for my partner, brought the whole meal to a sweet and satisfying end.

The Bulls Head had successfully passed the Sunday lunch test, and with a brand new mains menu, pizza menu and drinks offers throughout the week, it’s well worth returning to try their culinary skills another time.

HEROES

Connecting communities AGE BETTER IN SHEFFIELD IS WORKING TO MAKE OUR CITY A PLACE WE’RE PROUD TO GROW OLD IN. HANNAH THORNTON, COMMUNICATIONS AND TOOLKIT OFFICER, TELLS HANNAH SANDERS HOW THEY’RE TACKLING LONELINESS AND ISOLATION.

y 2040, there will be 18 million people aged 60 or over. Although our longer lives are a great achievement, changes are needed so more people enjoy good health, are financially secure, socially connected and happy in later life.

Over the past three years, Age Better in Sheffield has been working with different delivery partners across Sheffield including Soar, Ignite Imaginations and Sheffield Mind to develop a range of projects to help end loneliness and isolation.

The project was set-up as part of the national Ageing Better Programme, funded by the Big Lottery Fund and has just reached its halfway point. And, by 2021 in Sheffield they are aiming to empower people to reduce their loneliness with the help of many volunteers

B

100 www.sheffieldvibe.com

and people engaging with Age Better in Sheffield.

Hannah Thornton, communications and toolkit officer said: “The whole aim of the project is to reduce loneliness and isolation in Sheffield for those aged 50 and over, along with reaching out to every single person and showing them that we can help build a connected city together.

“When South Yorkshire Housing Association (SYHA) heard of the programme we were really keen to bid. As a housing association we know that a home is the place you start, and for us, it isn’t just enough to have a roof over your head – it’s about your wellbeing and quality of life too.”

One of the initiatives delivered by SYHA are the neighbour toolkits designed to reach

those who are most isolated, and they’ve already had a fantastic response across the city; with the most recent one being in the Firth Park ward.

“We knew we wanted to design and deliver projects with our partners that allow people to connect in their communities, but actually a huge challenge with loneliness and isolation is that you often can’t reach those who need you the most.

“The toolkits are designed to go through letterboxes so you go where the people are.

We’re reaching people to say ‘we’re here, this is on offer and this is how we can work with you’. The toolkits are all about giving people that lightbulb moment of ‘wow, if that’s what is out there, then I can get involved and change my life’.”

HEROES

Brooke Leigh, programme co-ordinator LiveWell and Adam Batty, programme co-ordinator LiveWell

At the start of the project, research was done to discover the areas of Sheffield that are most likely home to people who are vulnerable, lonely and isolated with each toolkit being shaped to reach the target demographic of the areas.

“The toolkits are also about raising awareness and profiling the message behind the project – ‘we are better if we are connected. Community spirit and neighbourliness doesn’t have to be a thing of the past and everyone has a role to play to combat loneliness and isolation’.”

So far, they have created three toolkits: Burngreave, Beauchief and Greenhill and Firth Park. From a giant newspaper translated into different languages through to a pizzalike box filled with goodies designed to treat the area like a holiday spot, each toolkit is completely unique and co-designed with the people who live in the area “Our most recent toolkit is an A4 envelope and features a whiteboard that’s a weekly planner, a fridge magnet and pen along with a map of the area. The idea is that people will look at the map, see the highlighted community places, be inspired to go out and then use the weekly planner to choose things to do that week.

“We also wanted to give people examples of individuals in their area that are already out there – offer up a bit of inspiration and empowerment for them to do the same. So, we created a pack of postcards that champion individuals across the ward including those

that have gone through community services and are now volunteers to young students championing community spirit and social cohesion.”

The work of the toolkits doesn’t stop there, as the Age Better in Sheffield team organise a range of events alongside to give those in the community the opportunity to come and meet with them and ask any questions.

And, for the first time, the team decided it wasn’t just enough to have the events so they chose to hand-deliver the toolkits in the community.

“We wanted to be involved in the delivery process this time, so went out to the ward. It was just fantastic and an amazing chance to get stuck in with the community. We even gatecrashed an aerobics class – they we’re delighted to see us – to show them the toolkit and they were all so willing and excited to get involved.

“It’s so important for us to get out there and have those conversations. Sometimes the toolkit on its own may not be enough but if you are

able to have a chat with someone, get in touch before the event and give them the confidence to come along, why wouldn’t you? – it’s about going that extra mile,” adds Hannah.

“I think the toolkits are a fantastic first step towards encouraging the local community to help combat loneliness and isolation. It’s important we help empower, provide knowledge and support and offer up ideas on how people can help.

“Loneliness and isolation is killing people.

The health impact that it has on an individual basis is just staggering, so it’s key we work towards eradicating it to the best of our ability. When it comes to helping reduce loneliness, it’s important for people to remember that a little thing like saying hello in the street can really make a big difference.

Simply put, just remind people that you see them and you’re there.”

Over the upcoming three years, Age Better in Sheffield will be working towards launching their final toolkit in the Woodhouse ward.

“In terms of ideas for this, the world really is our oyster. We want to do something really unique that of course still fits through a letterbox, but already my cogs are turning. I would say though, if anyone has any ideas on what you would like to receive then please share them with us.”

It will be homely this Christmas at Sheffield care home Residents at a care home in Sheffield are to be treated to a range of activities and events to keep the festive spirit alive this Christmas.

Staff at The Porterbrook, which offers residential, dementia and respite care, has organised a bumper Christmas calendar to make this season a special one for all their residents who reside in Tapton Crescent Road in Crosspool.

The festive activities will get under way when saxophonist Richard Francis plays on 17 December before the Ecclesfield Handbell Ringers, who have been ringing for more than 100 years, visits the home on the same day. Residents can try their hand at ringing bells as well as learn the history about bell ringing.

The Porterbrook’s annual Christmas party takes places on 19 December where residents will be treated to mulled wine and live, and more festive music, from local entertainer Alan Turner. The party is always well received by residents, as it gives them the chance to get dressed up and share fond memories with one another.

On 20 December, the Vintage Voices Carol Singers sing for residents and, since pantomimes are a popular festive tradition for many, staff have also arranged another visit from Carousel Theatre this year with a

performance of Jack and the Beanstalk.

The theatre production has been specifically written with residents of care homes in mind and features over 40 costume changes to keep spectators entertained. In December, The Porterbrook also expect to welcome carol singers from Lydgate School in Manchester Road.

The Porterbrook care home manager Sheilagh Sweeney said: “Here at The Porterbrook, it’s important for to us to create

a merry atmosphere for our residents and lift their spirits at this time of year. We’ve got lots planned and hope that our Christmas calendar of events will be a way for residents to create joyful, new memories with each other.”

Kel of an achievement GRAND PLANS FOR KELHAM ISLAND LOOKED LIKE NOTHING MORE THAN A PIPE DREAM IN 2008. TEN YEARS ON, IT LOOKS A LIKE A CASE OF ‘MISSION ACCOMPLISHED’, WRITES ANDY WAPLE. decade ago senior figures at Sheffield council and others interesting in saving one of the city’s forgotten locations came up with a ten-year plan to save it from ruins and produce something to enhance the city’s national reputation.

Many shook their heads in disbelief when the Kelham Neepsend Action Plan was unveiled.

Its vision for the area by the end of 2018 seemed a typical local authority pipe dream, but nevertheless plans were put into place to make the vision reality.

The Action Plan envisaged the wholesale regeneration of the grimy district with its old derelict factories and workshops overlooking a shallow, uninteresting river full of debris with banks overgrown with vegetation.

Despite the cynicism, the municipal crystal ball saw a very different future for Kelham Island and undeterred the council and its private backers set to work.

The area, roughly diamond in shape, bordered by Shalesmoor and Gibraltar Street to the south-west; Corporation Street to the south-east; Mowbray Street, Harvest Lane and Neepsend Lane to the north-east, and Ball Street and Cornish Street to the north-west was designated one of the 11 city ‘Quarters’.

Once a hive of the types of industries that made Sheffield internationally renowned, the island was created by the building of a mill race, fed from the River Don to serve the water wheels powering the workshops of the area’s industrial heyday.

The Action Plan wanted to see big change and make the area nationally known and admired as a classic example of inner city regeneration.

Its principle objectives over the ten years to 2018 were to make the area an attractive place to live, with a rich diversity of residents and housing types including affordable flats, executive apartments and student accommodation.

It envisaged a new inner city village formed around Kelham Square and the goyt, where convenience shops, cafes, bars and

public event spaces would be located, a thriving and accessible business location north of the river housing small manufacturing, service industries, craft and artist workshops, studios, small professional offices and a mix of refurbished and new premises.

It wanted to see an area that enjoys good pedestrian and cycle access into the city centre and to well-maintained green spaces along the river or in adjacent neighbourhoods.

Other objectives were to develop its nationally well-known reputation for its real ale pubs and breweries, gastro-pubs, its open air events focused around Kelham Square and Museum Yard, ranging from Victorian markets through to food fairs and music festivals, and to see the River Don used for a range of leisure pursuits including canoeing, angling, walking and jogging.

It was a tall order, particularly over just a decade in times of recession, but against many people’s expectations much of the objectives have been realised.

Not only has Kelham Island been revitalised, it has won national admiration – the area’s rise has been recognised by the

Sunday Times as among the top places to live in Britain.

Among its most innovative projects has been the Little Kelham development that is providing a blueprint for city living of the future where Scandi-style high tech homes live cheek and jowl with modern creative industries each supporting cafes, bars and community projects.

Citu, a Leeds-based sustainable property developer, acquired the site which it renamed Little Kelham in 2012, to create a visionary low carbon village. The development is using triple-glazed windows, high standards of insulation and air-tight building design to

BUSINESS

create zero-emission homes powered entirely by renewable electricity.

The scheme has involved the re-generation of some key industrial landmarks in Kelham Island.

The derelict Eagle Works, built in 1835 as a factory for WK Peace & Co, where it made files and refined steel, has been restored into office space. It had its official launch in September.

Nearby, the Green Lane Works, with its iconic clocktower, is being transformed into an estate of modern eco-homes aimed at young professionals and families.

Once completed, it will comprise 153 oneto four-bedroom homes plus creative business spaces, shops and cafes.

Every house will be ‘digitally enabled’ allowing residents to switch their energy consuming appliances on and off from anywhere in the world using a phone or tablet.

Kelham Island has also proved to be a catalyst for the redevelopment of neighbouring areas which will link the entire area with the city centre.

Massive student flat complexes are developing in the St Vincent’s area, around Hollis Croft, just across the main inner city ring road.

And the £175million West Bar Square scheme, off Corporation Street, is soon to be underway, with up to 700,000 sq ft of office space and 500,000 sq ft of residential apartments with restaurants, cafés, shops.

Developer Urbo (West Bar) Ltd recently completed the purchase of a further property located within the boundaries of its West Bar Square development to add to its multi-

million-pound mixed-use regeneration scheme.

Outline planning permission has been granted for a mixed-use development that is expected to create sufficient space to accommodate up to 5,000 workers. Consent has also been granted for associated landscaped public spaces within the development.

The creation of West Bar Square will add to the neighbouring Riverside Business District that already boasts key occupiers including the Home Office, top 50 law firm Irwin Mitchell and the Crown and Family Courts.

The offices will focus around the new West Bar Square, a major landscaped space comparable in scale to Millennium Square and St Paul’s Place in Sheffield, linking the Cathedral Quarter to the Riverside district. www.sheffieldvibe.com 105

CONFERENCES

It’s good to talk FROM STATELY HOMES TO FORMER STEELWORKS, THE SHEFFIELD CITY REGION HAS A VAST ARRAY OF VENUES SUITABLE FOR ANY EVENT. n today’s age of high technology, communication is often taken for granted. Phone calls are made, emails are sent and tweets are posted continually throughout the day.

But research shows that we are more likely to do business with someone we’ve met faceto-face, and that employee team-building activities – such as away-days – can improve communication, develop leadership skills, facilitate creative problem solving and boost teamwork.

Companies of all shapes and sizes and from all sectors regularly hold events across the region, whether it’s to launch a new product, build relationships with clients, network with others from within the industry, motivate staff or interview new prospective employees.

Fortunately, businesses within the Sheffield City Region couldn’t be better placed. We have a vast array of venues suitable for any event, ranging from historic stately homes and former steelworks to modern hotels and conference centres.

It’s not surprising, therefore, that year after year our region is chosen to host all kinds of events, from banquets to exhibitions.

Whether you wish to hire a room to conduct interviews, a hall for an exhibition or a whole venue for an away-day and overnight accommodation, there is somewhere suitable just on your doorstep.

We enjoy a great relationship with many of the region’s finest venues and is pleased to present a selection here. Of course, our region offers so much more but this is a great place to start.

BHP BOOSTS BUSINESS WITH 21 NEW STARTERS TRIO OF CHOSEN ONES EMBARK ON A PROMISING CAREER AT GRIPPLE Three more young graduates aiming for a promising career have joined Gripple, Sheffield’s manufacturer of the iconic wire fastener, after winning through the employee-owned company’s annual graduate training scheme.

The full-time, permanent employees are now following an intensive 12-month training programme which rotates them around the business, undertaking key projects in operations, sales, marketing, people and culture and accounts, each project linked to their specialised area.

Rachel Atkinson, 24 is from Hertfordshire, and gained her degree in German and Dutch at Sheffield University. Rachel spent a year in the Netherlands, has taught English to children in Austria and had a customer support internship at Bloomberg Software. Given her language skills Rachel is beginning with Gripple’s export sales team.

Twenty-three-year-old Tasha Lyth, who is from Grantham, graduated from Leicester’s De Montfort University with a business and management degree. She was encouraged to study for a degree by her previous employer in Peterborough after joining as an apprentice production administration assistant. At Gripple Tasha is firstly specialising in operations.

Completing this year’s trio of new graduates is 22-year-old Cody Wale from Chesterfield, joining Gripple with an accounting degree gained at the University of Central Lancashire. His degree exempts him from the first stages of CIMA which he intends to study further whilst working at Gripple. Initially Cody is working with the Gripple accountancy team.

In support of the company’s ethos of giving back to the community the graduates have been given a team charity challenge and additional skills training such as leadership and commercial awareness.

Glenn Bills, who joined Gripple under the graduate scheme in 2012 and is now head of product management, said: “During the selection process these graduates demonstrated their determination to succeed, to challenge convention and to be inquisitive. Once again, Gripple’s management teams and everyone at Gripple are welcoming these qualities, along with their fresh ideas and positive outlook.”

Yorkshire’s largest independent firm of Chartered Accountants, BHP, has welcomed 21 trainees into the company.

BHP, which has offices in Sheffield, Cleckheaton, Leeds, Chesterfield, and York, has appointed 12 graduates, four year-long placements and five trainees.

The new starters have been appointed across the Audit and Assurance, Tax, Corporate Finance, Healthcare and Financial Planning departments.

Lisa Leighton, who joined BHP as a graduate in the Audit team and is now a Partner at the firm, said: “We’re very excited to welcome this latest intake of trainees who bring with them fresh ideas and talent.

I know first-hand what it’s like joining as a graduate and the opportunities it offers to grow and develop your career. We very much look forward to supporting these new starters to flourish in their roles.”

This is also the first time a graduate has been appointed to the Financial Planning team which has witnessed exceptional growth over the last 18 months.

BHP has more than 350 staff, including 31 partners. Over the last ten years the business has increased turnover from £8million to more than £20million.

CHESTERFIELD ON TRACK TO CREATE WORLD CLASS VISITOR ECONOMY

A DELICIOUS WAY TO START THE DAY Volunteers from Delicious Media, based at Kelham Island, served up hearty breakfasts at Sheffield’s Cathedral Archer Project (CAP). The web design agency is part of CAP’s Breakfast Club and the Delicious Media team – Kerry Manning, Steph Walker and Dave Pullig (from left to right) – served an average of 50 breakfasts a day to homeless adults throughout the week.

Steph Walker commented: “We are more than pleased to support CAP and it’s Breakfast Club initiative. It allows the charity to offer homeless adults in Sheffield the most important meal of the day.”

It has been revealed that converting just five per cent of Chesterfield’s day visitors into overnight stays would transform the town’s visitor economy.

Speaking at the annual Chesterfield Investment Summit, keynote speaker James Berresford, Chair of the Derbyshire Culture, Heritage, Arts and Tourism Board, added: “Chesterfield has its foot on the ladder of being world class and is on track to transform its visitor economy. It must focus on creating the distinctive, unique and special.”

At the sell-out event, which was held at Casa Hotel, it was revealed that last year Chesterfield attracted 3.7 million visitors who brought £175million to the economy, representing a 50 per cent uplift in tourism spend compared to 2009.

Mr Berresford praised the town’s ambitions saying: “Tourists today want experiences.

We need to focus on the unique and distinctive things we have like the market and the Crooked Spire to stand out from the crowd.”

Peter Swallow, Chair of Destination Chesterfield, added: “Young people need to raise their aspirations and skill up ahead of HS2 arriving in Chesterfield and the opening of Peak Resort to ensure that they and the town makes the most of the opportunities.”

DJB RECYCLING AND SHEFFIELD UNITED FC ANNOUNCE PARTNERSHIP PHILLIPPA JOINS LEP

NEW MASTER CUTLER SEES CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITIES Mr Nicholas Cragg has been installed as the 380th Master Cutler.

A native of Hull, his ambition was always to study engineering and so began his career with British Steel, as a student apprentice. On graduating from Loughborough University, he spent over 25 years in the steel industry with a career progressing through to a number of business leadership positions based in the UK and subsidiary board appointments overseas. It was the steel industry which first brought him to South Yorkshire.

On leaving the steel industry, Nick started his own company supporting clients in the oil and gas sector in the US and UK before joining a producer of flexible pipelines and worked between the UK and Brazil.

Outside of work, his interests are skiing, travel and rugby union, as well as being a trustee of a multiacademy trust which is focused mainly on schools in the Sheffield City Region. He is married to Liz and they have a son, two daughters and, recently, their first grandchild.

He became a Freeman of the Cutlers Company in 2002 and, in 2004, became a member. As master, in addition to representing the Company, he is passionate about raising the business profile of the region especially for the benefit of existing manufacturers, as well as for attracting new inward investors.

He firmly believes that improving the education outcomes of young people will help them exceed their ambitions and, in so doing, will retain their skills to support the current and future manufacturers in the region.

The Sheffield City Region Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP) has today announced the final private sector board member appointed in the latest round of recruitment.

Philippa Sanderson is the head of South Yorkshire region for KPMG. She trained as a chartered accountant and later qualified as a chartered tax adviser.

She has over 20 years’ experience of proven business and leadership skills, which she will use to help the LEP drive forward economic growth for the whole city region.

Since its creation in 2010 the Local Enterprise Partnership, which invests in infrastructure, transport, skills and business growth projects, has been central to growth in the region’s economy.

Philippa said: “The LEP board has a key role to play in supporting job creation and regional growth. South Yorkshire has a lot to be proud of both locally and on a national and international stage and I hope to use my experience to build on the success that the LEP has already achieved.”

Sir Nigel Knowles, chair of the Local Enterprise said: “It is important that we have strong private sector representation on the board, so they can work alongside our publicsector representatives and continue to ensure that the LEP is successful at growing the region’s economy.”

Darren Bland with Mark Wainwright from Sheffield United’s ground maintenance team

Sheffield recycling company DJB Recycling Limited, has announced a new two-year partnership with Sheffield United Football Club.

DJB will provide a total waste management solution with recycling at the forefront of operations with the contract covering all aspects of waste and recycling collections.

Darren Bland, DJB Recycling managing director, said: “We’re really pleased to be working with Sheffield United Football Club. As a Sheffield company we take a great deal of pride in forging partnerships with organisations in the city.

“The deal follows a similar relationship with Sheffield Wednesday Football Club, which is proving to be successful, and is part of period of growth for DJB.” Dave McCarthy, operations director for Sheffield United Football Club, said: “It is important that the club takes seriously its role in creating a welcoming environment for everyone who visits Bramall Lane.

“By working with DJB, who are a family-run firm with a fantastic reputation across the city, we are confident we will be at the forefront of fulfilling our recycling commitments.”

“This year’s apprentices intake is be fundamental to the future of this company as we plan ahead and manage succession and retirements within our operations. The company is making a huge commitment in terms of wages, training fees and mentoring time, but it is an investment for the long-term.

Why make a Will?

TWO THIRDS OF ALL ADULTS IN THE UK DO NOT HAVE A WILL, DO YOU? Will is one of those things that everyone should have, yet only a small proportion of the population actually make one.

We understand that a lot of people put off making a will as itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something they would rather not think about. We know that some people are not very comfortable thinking about what happens after someone has passed â&#x20AC;&#x201C; whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s thinking about your own affairs or preparing for a loved oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s.

However, making a Will should be viewed as a positive step that you should take.

By making a Will you will be able to retain some control into what happens to your estate after you have died. You are taking control to ensure that those assets are dealt with in the way you want and are left to the people of your choice. For example, you will be able to stipulate who you would like to administer your estate, make specific gifts for loved ones or appoint guardians for any children under 18.

If you die without making a Will, this choice is taken away from you.

There are also some common misconceptions about the law in respect of a personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s assets if you have not made a Will.

A

For example, a common misconception is that of a common law husband/wife. In the law, there is no definition of common law husband and wife. Unmarried couples, regardless of the time spent living together, are not automatically entitled to any part of their partners estate. In addition, children from a first marriage may not receive anything or there may be a large Inheritance Tax bill that could be avoided.

For those with more complex family units, whether this involves 2nd or 3rd marriages and/or children from previous relationships, or a family member with a disability, a Will provides certainty that your wishes will be carried out and that any members of your family will not be overlooked.

Many people think they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need to make a Will if they have nothing to leave.

However, you do not need to be wealthy to make a Will. Many people own their own homes, have life insurance and bank accounts.

How Howells Solicitors can help

Whist professional legal advice canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stop the inevitable it can help you control what comes before and what happens after. It will ensure that all misconceptions are corrected, giving you peace of mind and making the whole process easier for your loved ones to deal with when needed.

Even what seems a simple will to someone can have many different dimensions and our skill is in taking clients carefully through everything and ensuring the resultant Will is meticulously drafted.

Join us for our Making Tax Digital seminar MAKING TAX DIGITAL â&#x20AC;&#x201C; HOW IT AFFECTS YOU AND WHAT YOU NEED TO DO From Spring of next year, all businesses that are required to register for VAT must maintain their accounting records in an appropriate digital format and to submit their returns through compliant software. The changes, referred to by the government as Making Tax Digital (â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;MTDâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;) therefore represents one of the most significant changes to the way in which organisations have to administer their tax affairs.

Since the government made their announcement, many more software packages have become available to help businesses to become compliant. There are therefore a range of options to choose from. However, even with the right software, businesses need to understand how to manage their obligations and to deal with difficult areas like partial exemption, group situations, cash accounting and record keeping.

Our seminar is free to attend and highlights: 5 The new requirements for businesses required to register for VAT 5 The impact for businesses â&#x20AC;&#x201C; routine quarterly reporting and the difficult areas (explaining how to deal with them) 5 The products available to help you become compliant 5 The opportunities arising from adopting the new generation of cloud accounting packages There is also time available after the seminar to talk to our team about your specific circumstances.

Seminars will be held over the course of 2 dates, with 3 separate seminars being run on each date as follows:

Pre-nuptial agreements – just how binding are they?

ZOE ROUND IS AN ASSOCIATE DIRECTOR IN THE SHEFFIELD FAMILY TEAM AT IRWIN MITCHELL PRIVATE WEALTH. SHE IS PASSIONATE ABOUT PRE AND POST-NUPS AND ADVISES THE REGION’S FAMILIES ON HOW TO APPROACH THESE SORTS OF AGREEMENTS. HERE SHE DISCUSSES THE COMMON QUESTION, ARE PRE OR POSTNUPS WORTH THE PAPER THEY ARE WRITTEN ON? t’s now eight years since the case of Radmacher was heard by the Supreme Court. This was the case that changed the landscape in relation to prenuptial agreements – and yet I’m still often asked “is a pre-nup worth the paper it’s written on?”

And I answer, “Yes, a pre-nup can often carry a lot of weight. But it depends what it says and how it was entered into…”

As with many aspects of family law there are misconceptions and myths. For example, the myth of the “common-law spouse”.

Living together for a certain period does not automatically give people the same rights as a married couple. Also, the “quickie divorce” – there’s no such thing as that either, whatever the media may tell us.

In a world of misinformation and “fake news” it’s understandable that people don’t know much about the realities of pre-nups.

Not so very long ago they were considered unromantic, and reserved for Hollywood Alisters.

This is no longer the case. If done “right” pre-nups can be incredibly useful and can avoid the acrimony and uncertainty that come from the end of a marriage.

I

If a couple divorces without a pre-nup (or a post-nup – which is an agreement reached after the date of the marriage), the court has a very broad discretion to make financial orders. It can, for example, transfer properties from one person to the other, order the sale of a business or home and/or split pensions between the couple. It can order lifelong maintenance payments to be made from one person to the other. In coming to what it considers to be the right outcome, the court takes into account all the resources available.

This can include inheritances, whether these came in before the marriage, during it, or after separation. What the court believes to be the right outcome, might not be not what either party would have chosen.

A pre or post-nup allows a couple to exercise autonomy and to set the boundaries.

As long as each party comes out with enough to meet their needs, they can agree to protect things like family businesses or inheritances. A couple can also agree a clean break i.e. that the financial ties between them come to an end.

For a pre-nup to carry weight both people have to enter into it freely; they each have to

take their own legal advice and the agreement has to fall within the parameters of overall fairness. It can’t therefore provide that one person gets everything and the other receives nothing.

The court will not uphold a pre-nup which is so clearly unfair that it leaves one party in financial dire straits. A judge might instead alter the pre-nup to ensure there is a fair outcome, but this award might still be less generous than if there had been no pre-nup at all. The court is generally prepared to respect the fact that the parties have chosen to have their own agreement, and it tries not to trespass on this any more than is strictly necessary.

Pensions and divorce – do you know your rights?

THOUSANDS OF DIVORCEES ARE NOT AWARE THAT PENSIONS SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE MATRIMONIAL POT, SAYS BRADIE PELL, PARTNER AND HEAD OF GRAYSONS’ FAMILY TEAM. our family home is your most valuable matrimonial asset – right?

Not necessarily – your pensions could be worth much more. So why do so many divorcing couples ignore them when agreeing their financial settlement?

If you come to a financial agreement with your spouse without going through the courts, you have no automatic right to know the value of their pension and there is no requirement for pensions to be split. So, if you take no legal advice regarding your financial arrangements, you may not even know that your pensions should be included in the matrimonial pot.

In its recent report, For Love and Money, Age UK has said that thousands of people are being left much worse off than they should be in retirement because they were not aware, or made aware, of their right to include their spouse’s pension as part of the divorce process. This is affecting far more women than men, who, according to the Office for National Statistics, have pensions worth around one-third of their spouse’s when they reach the age of 55-70.

Age UK is now calling on the government to change the law so that considering pensions upon divorce is compulsory, that all divorcing couples have the right to know the value of their spouse’s personal pensions and for those pensions to be shared fairly where possible. The charity suggests that this could be achieved by divorcing couples signing a declaration that shows that pensions, and sharing them, have been considered – even if this does not then go ahead.

Y

When a financial agreement is drawn up by a solicitor, a document called a statement of information has to be fully completed before the financial agreement can be approved by a court. There is a section on this form to disclose pensions.

However, if you reach a voluntary agreement without legal advice, then there might not be a mechanism for you to know about the other party’s pension at all.

Even if you are aware that your pensions can be taken into consideration as part of a financial settlement, valuing them can be extremely complex and you may not be aware of their long-term value compared with other assets that can be readily realised.

Taking legal advice from a lawyer with the knowledge and experience of splitting pensions, such as the family law experts at Graysons, is vital if you want to ensure a fair financial split that takes all assets into consideration.

In its report, Age UK uses several examples that highlight the dangers of not considering pensions during financial settlement. In one example, the charity tells of two women who were part of the focus groups used when compiling information for the report. The women had paid into joint accounts during their marriage, which their husbands had then paid into their own personal pensions. The women then divorced, and the personal pensions were not considered in the financial settlement, meaning that both women lost their own money. According to Scottish Widows, 71 per cent of divorcing couples don’t discuss pensions when making financial arrangements.

Bradie Pell, partner and head of Graysons family team, says: “It is always important to discuss your full financial situation when divorcing, and this includes pensions. Taking legal advice can be vital to ensure the proper value of the pension is ascertained, as not all pensions are the same. The cash equivalent transfer values (CETVs) of the pension funds must be requested by the pension holder, but, depending on what type of pension is being

considered, the CETV may not represent the true value for divorce purposes.

“In particular, final salary pensions are complex, as valuing them involves projecting both a salary and a pension fund quite far into the future. Expert advice is needed. There are several ways in which a pension can be split: off-setting, where one party may receive a greater share of property/savings in a trade off against the other spouse retaining his or her pension; earmarking/attachment, where a portion of the pension fund is ‘earmarked’ for the other spouse upon retirement (although this is relatively rare now); sharing, where a particular pension fund is split into two funds which means each person has their own individual ‘pension pot’.

“How the pension is dealt with will depend on your specific circumstances and tailored advice can be provided.”

If you are considering divorce and want to ensure that your assets are shared fairly, contact our experts now. We will be happy to discuss your individual circumstances so that we can find the best solution for you.

reedom in Numbers has flourished since its inception in July 2017, continuing to grow and develop a brilliant reputation as a small business with big ambitions. They’ve even won the title of Best Accountancy Practice at the Yorkshire & Humber Enterprise Awards 2018.

Founder Hannah Adams has a wealth of experience behind her, starting in the finance industry at 18 years old and having worked in Sheffield practices for around 13 years.

Following the birth of her second child, Hannah couldn’t see herself returning to fulltime work, and thus her third child, Freedom in Numbers, was born.

“The name ‘Freedom in Numbers’ came from a vision of an accounting and business growth support service that gave our customers freedom from numbers yet left them sufficiently in touch with them, to make the right business decisions based on quality care and support from a qualified and experienced advisor.”

Where traditional accountancy firms tend to focus on the compliance side of things, Freedom in Numbers want to provide a

Freedom in Numbers use Xero, an online accountancy software that makes accessing your information easier, and therefore allows you to spend your time catering to your business needs and growth plans, rather than spending countless hours on business admin.

Freedom in Numbers process your receipts and invoices, then store them on the cloud for you and feed them straight into Xero so that no matter where in the world you are or what time it is, you have direct access to your business financial information – all you need to do is snap a picture of your invoice or receipt and send it their way.

By using technology like Xero in their business, Freedom in Numbers are allowing you the freedom to keep up to date with your business position rather than waiting for a monthly or annual summary. Their daily bookkeeping service means that you are able to have access to accurate, to the minute information which will help you keep on top of your business.

Seeing themselves as a supportive partner to their clients, Freedom in Numbers provide a one to one, face to face service; they’re not just a call centre or a name on the end of an email but a business who really pride themselves on the way they interact with their clients.

“We like our clients to see us as approachable, friendly and someone they can feel relaxed and comfortable around, and we encourage everyone we work with to embrace this approach,” said Hannah.

Often working with new businesses, Freedom in Numbers want to offer support that may not be available at larger accountancy companies. Businesses often fail within their first two years of operation, so Freedom in Numbers are there to help you make smarter decisions and give you any extra support you may need. And as a successful new business themselves, they know what’s needed to get over the hump.

Founders Don and Mary Alexander

Made to last DAWN OF A NEW ERA FOR THE FAMOUS SHEFFIELD SHOP. he Famous Sheffield Shop celebrated 35 years of trading on Ecclesall Road in style, with a birthday party, speeches and an exhibition at the historic Portland Works. Founders Don and Mary Alexander were there to celebrate the longevity of the business they started back in 1983.

The theme for the evening was innovation and design and featured a range of goods manufactured in Sheffield by suppliers of The Famous Sheffield Shop.

Current owner Paul Iseard commented: “It has been a pleasure to showcase so many beautiful products representing the very best of Sheffield craftsmanship. Many of our suppliers can trace their roots back well over 100 years. Only by developing new products, skills and manufacturing techniques can they, and we, continue to thrive.”

“Our biggest commercial success has been in the design of steak knives,” explained Paul.

T

“We are competing with the top end of the market and winning quite a lot of business for our local manufacturing partners who produce them to our designs.”

The shop has survived and grown despite all the turbulence and high street crises that have affected many retailers. Paul identified three key success factors: excellent products identified by working closely with suppliers early adoption of a retail website with a good address: www.sheffield-made.com diversification eg, personalised corporate gifts and restoration of antique cutlery/silverware The guest of honour was Hugh Facey OBE. Gripple is one of Sheffield’s best known success stories of recent years and the company he founded continues to grow and prosper. Hugh explained that the best place for innovation is your customer. They will explain their problems and challenges and this

leads to new products and markets.

He also emphasised the need for persistence and determination – it took three years and three versions to get the Gripple into a saleable product. From a standing start in 1984, the business by 2017 had an annual turnover of more than £60million with 300 Sheffield staff, plus 400 more world-wide.

The party was also a fundraiser for Portland Works, a Community Benefit Society dedicated to the restoration of Portland Works as a place of work and a community resource.

After 17 years running the shop, Paul is looking to the future. Ownership will transfer to colleague Jane Summers during the course of 2019. “Jane’s background in retail and design makes her the ideal person to take The Famous Sheffield Shop forward. I am delighted to announce her as my successor. As I hope to carry on working part-time I will be submitting my job application when she is the new boss!”

Lauryn Hill

ANNIVERSARY The City of Sheffield Teachers’ Choir celebrates its 50th anniversary 10 November, 7.30pm Holy Trinity Church, Grove Road, Millhouses, Sheffield On 6 November 1968 David Clover held the first rehearsal of the Sheffield Teachers’ Choir, as it was then known. The singers were music teachers in Sheffield schools, some music specialists, some not. David was Sheffield’s music adviser and he moved mountains to encourage and inspire people of all ages and musical abilities to make music in whatever way.

Not only did he found the Teachers’ Choir, but also developed brass and wind bands, orchestras, and smaller ensembles for school students to give them the opportunity to develop their musical skills. Countless people owe him a great deal of gratitude in so many ways for enriching their lives through music and the joy and friendship it brings.

Over the last 50 years there have only been four conductors of the choir, but many more singers have enjoyed its fellowship. The choir has been fortunate enough, too, to have had some wonderful supportive accompanists who are just as much a part of the performance as the singers.

David passed away in January 1979, but his Teachers’ Choir has carried on and celebrates its 50th anniversary with a concert on 10 November.

The programme will include songs of several genres which have marked significant events, both at home and abroad, in the choir’s half century history. There will be arrangements made by David Clover and one of his own compositions as well as choral classics and songs of a lighter nature too.

The concert will be attended by Mark Wildman, the choir’s president; James Kirkwood, a vice-president and former conductor of the choir; and members of David’s family. It will be a wonderful occasion, and one of which David would be very proud.

Carol singing in Sheffield Winter Gardens is an annual highlight in the choir calendar

Sheffield Teachers’ Choir 50th anniversary concert is at Holy Trinity Church, Grove Road, Millhouses, Sheffield at 7.30 pm on Saturday 10 November.

Sheffield Teachers’ Choir has widened its membership to those who are not teachers and welcomes new members. Rehearsals are held every Thursday evening from 7-9pm at St Mary’s Church, Bramall Lane. For details see www.cityofsheffieldteacherschoir.org.uk

PROMOTION

Steve Hampshire and Bryan Unkles

hen Bryan Unkles launched his own coffee company 15 years ago, he would not have dared to speculate that so many people in Great Britain would share his dream of finding the perfect cup of java.

But as it happened the timing could not have been better. Cafeology was launched in 2003 and was perfectly placed to surf the wave as British people decided to ditch that jar of instant and embrace the rich, fragrant world of coffee beans, fragrant brews, frothy cappuccinos and deep, powerful espressos.

Bryan moved from Glasgow to Hope Valley when he was four and has lived in Dore since leaving school. He is proud of his local roots and Cafeology is proud to bear the Made in Sheffield hallmark of quality. It provides bespoke ethically sourced speciality grade coffee to cafes, restaurants, coffee shops, pubs, universities and garden centres, to name but a few, in venues not only across Sheffield and North Derbyshire but right across the country.

And it’s not just the coffee. From barista training to providing, installing and maintaining the perfect equipment to match your market, Cafeology has grown consistently over the years to become an established and well-respected one-stop shop for all your coffee needs.

But in one respect it has remained one of the region’s best-kept secrets. “People drink our coffee and recognise the Cafeology logo but they still don’t think of us as a Sheffield company,” says Bryan.

Hopefully that misconception will change over time, and with the recent launch of Roastology, a state-of-art coffee roastery at Cafeology’s distribution centre in Sheffield, the Cafeology team is perfectly poised to bring the finest cup of coffee possible within the reach of everyone, from individuals to businesses.

Bryan says: “From the start Cafeology was all about Fairtrade and quality. I set the business up with my business partner Andy McClatchey, in the year that my mum passed away. That was the catalyst for me to do something for myself instead of working for a large Italian espresso coffee company.

“As the years passed and as Fairtrade became the norm across the industry, we began to dig deeper into direct trade which in turn allowed us to develop strong and

W

sustainable relationships with our growers across Latin America. This in turn provides full traceability and access to a host of information from the farms which we work with.”

Steve Hampshire was working front of house at the Cricket Inn in Totley before he joined the company five years ago in distribution and logistics.

“I thought I knew how to make a cup of coffee from my time working in restaurants,” he laughs. “It turned out I had a lot to learn.”

It’s fair to say that over the last five years any gaps in Steve’s knowledge have been filled. He’s travelled the world to meet coffee growers and has formally achieved expert status. He is now accredited by the SCA (Specialty Coffee Association), which means he is qualified to roast and teach.

Steve put on a coffee cupping session just for my benefit and as we sniffed, sucked and slurped our way through different blends, searching for hints of cinnamon, burnt toffee or red berries, it was clear I was being guided by a true master of the craft.

Steve has been instrumental in many of the exquisite blends including barrel-aged coffee where green coffee is matured in oak whisky and bourbon casks and the Aviator blend which has just been awarded three stars (the highest accolade) at the 2018 Great Taste Awards.

This hard-earned knowledge is coming in particularly handy now that Roastology has invested heavily in the latest technology, giving them complete control over the final product as key elements in the roasting process such as moisture, density, roasting temperature and the cooling process are all brought in-house.

Recent purchases such as the new Diedrich Bryan (right) and Francisco Herrera

IR-12 roaster and the Probat BR-2 sample roaster, the brand new Diedrich CR-35 roaster and clever pieces of kit like the Sinar Beanpro, all help to ensure quality control and consistency, whether they are producing the popular branded coffees available in busy cafes or smaller batches for high end individual restaurants that want their own unique blend to serve to diners.

But all this hard work in Sheffield would count for nothing if the coffee beans coming from overseas were of variable quality, and many air miles have been accumulated building up a relationship with key suppliers.

“Next year will be our tenth anniversary of working with the same producer in Colombia – a fantastic group called Asoapia run by Francisco Herrera. He’s based in the Risaralda National Park, a stunning region close to the town of Pereira. The associates are achieving the highest cup scores ever with the farms being clean and immaculate with amazing consistency,” says Bryan.

“We share the same goals – he doesn’t want to be the biggest, just the best. We’ve funded trips for him to come over here and see what we do and there’s a massive element of trust now – he’s not just a business contact, he’s a good friend. We look forward to hosting Francisco next year as we celebrate ten years in partnership.”

The roastery, just a few minutes from Meadowhall, is perfectly placed for distribution. It’s also spacious enough to be a multi-use site with a tasting room cleverly adapted from one of the metal containers similar to the ones the coffee sacks arrive in.

(Amazingly, these containers are ‘single use’ and would otherwise be melted down.)

There’s also room for a training centre where clients can come and learn to operate various types of Italian-made coffee machines, making sure they are just right for their business. From barista training to business advice, it’s all in Sheffield under one roof.

Oh, and did I mention they also make a great cup of coffee?

INTERVIEW

Lucky man AFTER OVERCOMING A POTENTIALLY LIFE-THREATENING ILLNESS, THE TICKLED TROUT’S CHRIS MAPP IS BACK ON TOP AND KEEN TO PUSH NEW PLANS FOR THE BARLOW GASTRO PUB INTO ACTION. BY CHRIS WILSON. t began with an irritating insect bite and ended with a rush admission to hospital to be treated for a rare and potentially life-threatening strain of sepsis.

Ten weeks later Chris Mapp, chef-patron at the Tickled Trout gastro-pub in Barlow, is back in the kitchen and more determined than ever to help his bright young team of local chefs put his plans into action.

“I didn’t have that eureka moment, lying on a hospital bed where your perspective on life changes, but the experience has definitely made me more determined to get everything working, get everything right as quick as possible and give my team as much support as I can.

“We are in a situation now where we have better menus, better food, the best team I’ve ever had, we know where we want to go now.”

For a la carte diners this means new, more formal, chic leather-bound menus which Chris reckons match the class and finesse being delivered on the plate.

“We haven’t changed our style, we just have more finesse,” he says. “Sometimes it’s a case of less is more, not in terms of getting less food on the plate but using fewer ingredients and making them work better. Put too much on the plate and it becomes more confusing.”

Having said that, to listen to Chris enthuse about his new take on the Tickled Trout’s ‘day boat’ fish dish with its mussel emulsion, deepfried oyster, herb oils, seafood vegetables and fennel purée, or the fabulous flavours that come from poaching and smoking your own chickens, and it’s clear that the phrase ‘keeping it simple’ is open to interpretation.

One thing that hasn’t changed is Chris’ dedication to provenance – the first page of the menu spells out where all his ingredients are sourced, from local farms and bakeries to the seafood that is driven up from Cornwall in the small hours and delivered to the restaurant on the same day that it’s caught.

Chris spent his formative years working in the kitchens of some of the restaurant world’s big hitters such as Jack Butler Gordon Ramsay and

I

Marcus Wareing, both of whom seem to spend more time recording television programmes than cooking in restaurants these days.

But it is another former kitchen colleague, high-achieving Michelin starred chef, Paul Ainsworth from No. 6 seafood restaurant in Padstow, who has been the biggest culinary influence on Chris’ life.

“I take a lot of my influences from Paul; and he remains one of my best mates. He got his Michelin star shortly after I left and he hasn’t gone crazy with the prices. You have to run a business and provide food at affordable prices.”

Lunchtimes at the Tickled Trout bring hearty fare to the fore but even here the food will be delivered with panache and painstaking care.

The crispest tempura batter lifts fish and chips to another level, bangers and mash will see Cumberland sausage finished on a char grill, served in a red wine gravy containing onions slowly cooked in their own fats on a bed of mash. And the pizza oven still has pride of place.

“It’s simple stuff, not difficult for us to do, but we make sure we do it right. If you want bangers and mash, we’re going to do it better than anyone else.

“Seven new pubs got their first Michelin stars this month, there must be around 20 now. I never want to tempt fate or make people think ‘who does he think he is? But there’s a change from the very top now in the conception of what pubs are and what they can do.”

The Tickled Trout is certainly doing its bit to put the sleepy village of Barlow on the food map but Chris is quick to point out he’s not alone. “There’s also the Peacock pub and Hackney House tea room and between us we can deliver 1,000 lunches on a Sunday. That’s quite an achievement for such a small village.”

Behind all the positivity Chris knows how lucky he is to be back at the helm and fully recovered.

“I had a lump on my back, it turned out I’d been bitten by a horsefly,” Chris recalls. “I should have gone to see a doctor to have it lanced but, typical man, I tried to squeeze it myself and managed to get quite a lot of the toxin out, but some must have gone into my bloodstream.

“A few days later my knee started swelling and by the end of the night it was so painful and swollen I could not bend my leg or take my trousers off.”

Fortunately an old friend, consultant surgeon Derek Bickerstaff, intervened and after aspirating the knee and doing some blood tests, Chris was rushed into hospital.

“I’m lucky they caught it early and although it was a rare strain it was treatable with antibiotics and penicillin. I was wiped out, I had an operation on my knee and had to be careful about coming back to work because they did not know if there had been any long-term damage done.

“When you get septic arthritis or sepsis it can turn into pneumonia and cause organ failure, or you may need major joint surgery.

You can lose a limb or lose your life. If you leave it too long, you get toxins in the blood, it can lead to major organ failure.”

So, don’t do what Chris did. Any suspicious bites, get them checked out sooner rather than later.

Lesson learned, Chris is particularly grateful to have a strong team to deliver his vision. Sous chef and second in command Jack Butler has become a trusted colleague who share’s Chris’ vision for moving the Tickled Trout forward; Luke Rhodes started just before Chris became ill and really stepped up when he was needed; Teddy Edgar has just finished college and is now working full time in the kitchen, and Barlow local Stuart McArdle, who started as a kitchen porter and discovered a love of prepping veg, has just been given his first set of chef ’s whites.

“It made him feel a million dollars and it’s important for me to be putting something L-R: Dayle Stacey, Luke Rhodes, Chris Mapp, Stuart McArdle back,” says Chris.

EATING OUT

A taste of home RHIANA HUGHES FINDS COMFORT IN DEEPEST DRONFIELD. y first visit to The Hyde Park Inn certainly won’t be my last. Having been on the hunt for a cosy, familyfriendly pub since I moved to Sheffield two years ago, walking into The Hyde Park Inn on a chilly Thursday night felt like I was coming back home.

Walking in you can smell the home-cooked food being prepared in the kitchen, a welcome change to that usual wall of stale beer that hits you when you walk into most pubs across the country. After a warm welcome, my partner and I were seated at our table and wasted no time in getting stuck into the menu.

To start, I went for the filled potato shells with cheese and bacon (£4.95), which were perfectly crisp on the outside while still light and fluffy on the inside. They had the perfect amount of filling, and the soft and salty bacon complemented the cheese wonderfully.

My other half opted for the Soup of the Day (£4.95), which on this occasion was minestrone and was full of flavour while not overpowering, and a generous yet not too large serving which left him ready for his main course.

The warm, homely environment of the restaurant meant neither of us could resist

M

some good old comfort food for our main courses. Ben chose the homemade beef lasagne (£8.95) and I the Homemade Pie of the Day (£9.25).

The lasagne came served with garlic bread, crispy side salad and homemade coleslaw. The cheese on top was flavourful yet not too intense while the beef was tender and melted in the mouth, and I’d be lying if I said I didn’t get a little bit of food envy.

The Homemade Pie of the Day was steak and ale – my all-time favourite – and was accompanied by a hearty serving of chips, peas and a side of gravy. The beef was perfectly cooked and fell apart, and the gravy was the best I’ve had in a long time, with just the right amount of ale giving it an extra kick.

We’re not usually dessert people, but The Hyde Park Inn had us rethinking our stance on after-dinner treats.

The chocolate fudge cake (£4.50) was calling Ben’s name, and the only tough choice he faced was whether to pair the dessert with custard or ice cream. Choosing the latter, he told me the contrast between the warm cake and cold ice cream was an added bonus to the already lovely moist and chocolatey indulgence.

For my dessert I chose the Belgian waffles (£4.75), which were served with vanilla ice cream and lashings of chocolate sauce.

As we finished our meal, we noticed the Thursday night quiz starting up, and though tempted, we were very much full and ready for home.

Walking back to the car we noticed how the string of lights in the pub garden made even the cold outdoors feel cosy, and we vowed to come back the next time we feel ourselves missing mum’s home cooking.

Get that festive feeling ITâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S NEVER TOO EARLY TO START PLANNING THE OFFICE CHRISTMAS PARTYâ&#x20AC;Ś SO WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?

W

ith the first frosts closing in and summer holidays a distant memory, it can only mean one thing - the countdown to Christmas and the festive party season

is on.

This December, across the Sheffield City Region work colleagues will be putting on their glad rags and enjoying a drink â&#x20AC;&#x201C; or two â&#x20AC;&#x201C; together.

A well-organised party in a quality, popular venue can give dedicated, hard-working staff something fun to look forward to as the year draws to a close. It is not only good for team morale but a great bonding experience for all.

The key to a really good, memorable Christmas work â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;doâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; is to make sure it is booked well in advance, so youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not left to find out every venue is fully booked, leaving the only option to be an office party, telling cheesy Christmas cracker jokes whilst dancing around the photocopier to Bowie.

It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to be the manager who is tasked with the booking of the party either. Hand the party planning over to the one in the office who loves to socialise, as they will relish the task of getting everyone on board and booking a fantastic Christmas party.

So whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lavish five-course spread at a top restaurant, a dinner and dance evening or a traditional turkey meal with all the trimmings at a cosy pub, there are plenty of venues to choose from that can accommodate your festive plans, whether you are a small business with a handful of staff, or a huge organisation with hundreds of employees.

So, no matter what the budget or scale of your party get into the Christmas spirit and get your party booked now.

If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re short of ideas of what to do and where to host your Christmas party this year, take a look at some of the fabulous venues showcased over the next few pages.

FOOD & DRINK

Make it a success WHETHER YOUR PARTY IS LARGE OR SMALL, FOLLOW THESE TOP TIPS TO MAKE SURE IT’S ONE TO REMEMBER – FOR THE RIGHT REASONS. BY RHIANA HUGHES. e’re heading full force into party season, so whether you’re in charge of your office do or you’ve got your own celebrations to take care of, the food and drink you serve at a gathering is more important than you might think.

W

Whether you’re newly engaged and you’ve hired out a local venue for your family and friends, or your birthday is coming up and you fancy a quiet one with your nearest and dearest, there’s only so many times guests can politely pass around a platter of cold sausage rolls.

SMALLER PARTIES Food If you’re having an intimate party at home you’re more likely to know what it is your guests do or don’t like. It also gives you a chance to be more creative with the food and drink you serve as you’re not having to make huge servings.

If it’s a more casual get together you’re hosting, it can be tempting to reach for those frozen bags of party food, but why not go the extra mile and whip up some snacks from scratch?

Try making your own mini chicken fajitas or smoked salmon blinis, and if you really can’t resist the temptation of a good old sausage roll, why not mix it up and make some more unusual flavours such as caramelised apple and fennel or even chorizo?

Hosting a full on dinner party? Don’t bite off more than you can chew. If the kitchen doesn’t call your name don’t put pressure on yourself to deliver a five-star meal to your guests, as you’ll more than likely end up scuffling with your partner and not getting dinner on the table until 10.30 (we’ve all seen Come Dine with Me).

Simple doesn’t have to mean boring though. There are a wealth of slow-cooker 140 www.sheffieldvibe.com

recipes out there, from chicken to beef and lamb or even veggie. Easy to put together and still full of flavour, a good slow-cooked stew or curry is bound to please your guests.

If you’re confident you can whip up a fabulous three-course meal there are plenty of dishes that shouldn’t take you away from your guests all night. Start with some halloumi stuffed peppers or breaded mozzarella sticks, then a nice slow-roasted shoulder of lamb will always go down well and can be left to cook in the oven without much maintenance.

When it comes to desserts, no matter the size of your party there are plenty of sweet treats you can put together before your guests even arrive. Cheesecakes and roulades are easy to make and can be kept in the fridge until you’re ready to serve your final course.

Drinks A bottle of wine or fizz is always going to go down well as the majority of us love a tipple.

Grab a few of your favourites and consider adding cocktails to the menu too. Even if it’s just a simple Bellini or some pre-made strawberry gin, offering something a bit different is sure to impress your guests.

“Don’t put pressure on yourself to deliver a five-star meal to your guests, as you’ll more than likely end up scuffling with your partner and not getting dinner on the table until 10.30.”

FOOD & DRINK

LARGER PARTIES Food As the numbers of your party increase, so does the difficulty of pulling off an impressive feast.

Don’t spread yourself too thin and plan an extensive meal that you won’t have time to enjoy yourself. If cost isn’t an issue, consider hiring a caterer to prepare your favourite dishes for you. If you’re on more of a budget, don’t worry as there are plenty of ways to feed larger groups.

A buffet is always a safe option as it increases the chances that there will be something for everyone. If you’re hosting a party that’s likely to last a fair few hours, opt for dishes that can be enjoyed hot as well as cold so people can pick throughout the day or night. Think bacon and cheese straws, handmade pizzas and nachos.

If you’ve got the facilities to keep things heated, consider a large batch of chilli or a make your own taco station.

Cakes and donuts are sure to be a hit too, but don’t stop at a run of the mill lemon drizzle, as although it might be the UK’s favourite, it can seem a little boring. If it’s an engagement party, why not opt for cake pops decorated as brides and grooms? If it’s a birthday party, why not use the dessert to celebrate the guest of honour? Find a dessert you love and add a personal touch.

Drinks Getting drinks ready for a big party can be quite tricky as it’s not always easy to tell what you’ll get through. Nobody wants to be the one called on to nip to the shop for a mid-

party ice run, so make sure you over rather than underestimate on that front!

Bartenders can be a great help when you’re hosting a large party, but they don’t come cheap. There are plenty of cocktails that can be made in large batches if you’re not wanting to splash out. We do it with Pimms in the summer, so who’s to say we can’t do the same in the colder months?

Favourites such as mulled wine or cider can expect a warm reception as the weather starts to turn, and a spiced rum or pomegranate punch is sure to fight off that winter chill too. Not forgetting those teetotallers among us either, there are plenty of non-alcoholic cocktails that can be enjoyed by both adults and children such as pomegranate, ginger and lime water or watermelon lemonade. www.sheffieldvibe.com 141

MOTORING

Rebel Ribelle Everybody loves a Maserati, especially a limited-edition Maserati. So say hello to the Maserati Ghibli Ribelle.

While the Ghibli may not be the most exotic of Maserati thoroughbreds, this special edition variant will certainly make you feel a million dollars. Limited to 200 units, the Ribelle has a unique paint coupled with the shiny black 19-inch Proteo alloy wheels with contrasting red laser etched details, giving this the ultimate stealth look.

The interior boasts a two-tone black and red theme: two-tone dashboard, red central armrest, black leather steering wheel with tone-on-tone stitching and premium, full leather two-tone seats, all exclusive to this model.

Engines offered are the 275hp diesel and 350hp and 430hp petrol units mated to a flappy paddle gearbox.

FROM SMART SALOONS TO SLEEK FASTBACKS, JORDAN CUTFORTH’S HOT PICKS FOR NOVEMBER ARE SURE TO PLEASE.

Intense E-tense The DS brand is the luxury arm of the Citroen umbrella. Combining stunning visuals with cutting edge tech, the DS range offers something for everyone. Now, with the DS 7 Crossback, there is a new variant to add to the mix, the E-tense 4x4.

Combining practicality, design, speed and economy is what the DS 7 Crossback E-Tense 4x4 is deigned for. With a 300hp power unit under the bonnet (200hp petrol engine and 109hp) electric motor, the DS7 is certainly pokey yet it achieves 128mpg, saving your bank account in the process.

Four modes are available: zero emission; Sport Mode; Hybrid; and 4WD. In full EV mode, the Crossback can muster 31miles and achieve a top speed of 83mph.

Fastback fun Since the Hyundai I30 came onto the scene it has caused a stir in the hot-hatch community.

A serious alternative to the Golf GTI and the like?

In short, probably not; the sleek new Hyundai I30N is more your shouty Honda Civic TypeR than classy Golf GTI but, thanks to the more popular saloon versions of hatchbacks (think A-Class saloon and A3 saloon), the I30N has got the fastback treatment.

The car is exactly the same, same engine, drivetrain, but the fastback version improves the design no end.

First official showing at Paris Motor Show.

Classier R-Design Volvo has extended its brilliant V60 range with the addition of the ever popular and beautifully designed R-Design variants.

The V60 has always been one of those cars that separates itself from the current big three German giants for offering minimalist, classy styling with impeccable build quality. With this new V60 estate R-Design, it has raised the bar for plush family motoring.

The R-Design offers so much more than classier visual; we have sports-tuned suspension for better driving dynamics, the cabin features part-leather sports seats, black headlining, sports pedals and a sports leather steering wheel and gear lever.

Front and rear parking sensors, City Safety autonomous emergency braking and Volvo’s Sensus connectivity system all provided as standard.

Prices start at £35,410.

Safe in the knowledge

DON’T GET CAUGHT OUT THIS WINTER – CHOOSE ONE OF THE MANY SERVICE PLANS AVAILABLE AT BLUEFLAME. BY PHOEBE SEYMOUR. s winter sets in, it is time to turn our attention to our boilers in preparation for the colder months.

As the chilly winter evenings continue to get colder, it’s important to ensure your heating system is in working order, so you can escape to a haven of snugly warmth.

Blueflame is a local Chesterfield-based gas service company that specialises in providing annual service plans for central heating systems. Established over 15 years ago, this professional family-run business has over 50 years’ combined experience in the industry.

Heating and hot water are things that we rely on completely, but we don’t always realise this until something goes wrong.

When it does, it’s incredibly frustrating – and often very expensive.

Service plans are a way to spread the cost of these breakdowns through monthly payments. They help to ensure someone is always on hand to help if things do go wrong.

With any boiler, the parts and labour charges that come with ad hoc repairs can be very costly. The advantage of a service plan is the peace of mind it provides – as payments

A

are made on a monthly basis you’ll have nothing to worry about, safe in the knowledge that there’ll be someone on hand to fix your system when it fails.

Something that often discourages us from agreeing contracts is the small print – but there are no such worries with Blueflame.

“Our terms and conditions are nine points on a single side of A4 in 12 point font,” says company director John Beevers. “You won’t have to trawl through a book of details!”

Blueflame offers several different levels of cover, but the basic packages are silver, which covers boilers, or gold, which also covers the full central heating system. Compared to the larger national firms, prices are very competitive.

Blueflame specialise in service plans, but that’s by no means all they do. They offer a complete range of gas and plumbing services, including boiler swaps, upgrades and power flushing to mention just a few.

Of course, when it comes to plumbing and gas businesses, the most important thing isn’t the services on offer but how trustworthy and reliable the company is. Fortunately, that’s exactly what Blueflame are – they’re Gas Safe registered, and members of Derbyshire County Council’s Trusted Trader Scheme.

What’s even more impressive is Blueflame’s fabulous reputation. They’ve got a database full of satisfied customers – many of whom return to this friendly company again and again.

Blueflame are on hand to help all year round, so contact them today to be safe in the knowledge that you’ve already planned a cosy winter.
