Message from Dave McNicholl, Senior Manager of Warrington Youth Club, “It’s YOUR summer.. make it special and be part of something BIG. Over 8,000 young people throughout England experienced NCS in 2011, and up to 30,000 will get the chance to take part in 2012. Taking part in NCS will help you develop and demonstrate important skills, attitudes and personal qualities which are valued by employers, colleges and universities. But most of all, NCS is an action-packed journey of personal and social development. Don’t take our word for it – here are some of the things last year’s NCS graduates had to say about the programme ‘Truly Amazing’, ‘A once in a lifetime experience’, ‘I really wanna do this again next year even if I have to pay – please, please, please!!!!!’ and if you don’t want it to end there, NCS graduates can apply to take part in International Citizen Service when they reach 18 – and make a difference overseas. NCS is completely free but places are limited and filling up fast. Join us at a local information and sign up session. Call the NCS team on FREEPHONE 0800 0126 606 Email personal.advisor@connexionslive.com website www.connexionslive.com. It’s YOUR summer, YOUR chance.. don’t waste it.”

Testimonial for Helix Healthcare

“This is a note to say thank you to Alex and Gina of Helix Healthcare for the income protection and private medical policies you recently arranged for me. The advice I received was extremely helpful and practical, it allowed me to make an informed decision about what I needed to do and I would have no hesitation in recommending your business to friends, colleagues and family.” Ian Gregory, The Alternative Board (May 2012)

Testimonial for Freedom Cars

Helen — Thu, 17 May 2012 09:33:25 +0000

“I purchased my almost new Skoda Octavia through Freedom Cars. Once I had determined what my requirements were, I provided Freedom Cars with my specification and budget. They then searched the vehicles available and obtained one for me and delivered it. Having previously purchased vehicles from Main Dealers or 2nd hand traders; This was altogether a much more relaxed and pain free experience. No pushy sales people trying to persuade you to take the one they want rid of, because it is perfect for you. Car sourcing is more like dealing with a professional broker or agent, who provides helpful advice, knows the market. Thus they act on your behalf. I can thoroughly recommend this new approach to getting your dream machine.” Denis McAllister, Coras IT (May 2012)

Testimonial for Styles and Co

Helen — Thu, 10 May 2012 09:30:03 +0000

“A few weeks ago I asked Ian for some tax advice on behalf of a trust in which a connection of mine was a trustee. The advice concerned the administration of the trust and possible winding up of it in a tax efficient manner. Within a day of making the request one of Ian’s colleagues rang me so I could fully explain the scenario, and a few days after that I received detailed advice with a number of suggested solutions (some of which I had not considered) in which the trust could be dealt with in the ways suggested, whilst at the same time saving some or all of the tax which might otherwise have been charged. I was very impressed, both with the speed and efficiency of the service and the quality of the advice, which demonstrated Styles & Co had considered the issue in depth and advised accordingly. All of that proves that not all accountants are the same, and that if you choose a good one – like Styles & Co – it will pay off. I would not hesitate in recommending them.” Tim Jordan, Partner, Forshaws Davis Ridgway (May 2012)

Testimonial for Marketing Doris

Helen — Fri, 04 May 2012 08:29:22 +0000

“I would like to thank Helen of Marketing Doris for the recent service you provided to members of staff at Warrington Youth Club for a Power Hour on social media and social marketing. Whilst some of the staff team have started using a range of social media to both communiate with children, young people and families about the services available through the organisation. We are mereley learning as we go along and your support has provided a background to develop a strategy on utilising a wider range of marketing resources and facilities. Whilst I was not directly in receipt of the service, I have spoken at length to the two members of staff whom you trained and both of them have not only had an improved understanding of various tools available but also increased their level of motivation to promote the organisation in a more comprehensive coordinated way. Part of my professional role is to work in partnership with other local, regional and natural charities and I can clearly see how all of these organisations will be able to benefit from your improvement, I will definitely highly recommend you to colleagues.” David McNicholl, Senior Manager, Warrington Youth Club (May 2012)

Testimonial for PB Electrical

Helen — Wed, 02 May 2012 10:54:27 +0000

“Following advice from PB Electrical I have replaced the Halogen Bulbs in my kitchen with LEDs, I was somewhat sceptical as I thought the reduction from 50 Watt bulbs to just 5 Watts would leave the room dull and gloomy, but with your expertise and advice on choosing the right bulb with the right colour, the kitchen is warmly lit. It also means a 90% saving in energy costs and a much extended lifespan. The kitchen’s Bright the kitchen’s LED.” Daniel Dunn, St James Place Wealth Management
