RYAN PUTS HIS BEST FOOT FORWARD FOR CANCER SUPPORT CHARITY

»»
EMPLAS, MANAGING Director, Ryan Johnson is taking on the Great North Run for cancer support charity, Macmillan.
The largest half marathon in the world, the Great North run, covers a tough 13.1 miles from Newcastle to South Shields.
Ryan is running for Macmillan in memory of his late Nan, Jean Handy, who received support and palliative care from Macmillan
nurses and the Cynthia Spencer Hospice in Kettering.
Ryan said:“ My Nan, Jean, was loved by everyone who knew her and she’ s missed by all of her family and friends. Saying goodbye was very difficult for everyone.
“ We were able to draw some comfort from the exceptional care that she received during Jean’ s final days from the Cynthia Spencer Hospice, Age UK and the Macmillan nurses, who cared for
her, allowing Jean to pass away in comfort and with dignity in her own home.
“ This wouldn’ t have been possible without the support of Macmillan, which is why I’ m doing the run and asking anyone who can, to donate to my justgiving page. It doesn’ t matter how much or how little. Every penny counts.”

WELLINGBOROUGH GOLF COUSE played host yet again this year to the 12th Glazerite Trophy on 6th and 7th July. The PGA Trophy pro-am golf tournament has become a highlight in an increasingly busy glazing industry golf calendar, noted for the high quality of the golf played.
The winning Team was formed by Dartfordbased Leslie Easton and Annis Building Contractors from Wellingborough who with professional Ben Hall, won the main Pro-Am event. Kyson Lloyd was the tournament winner, posting an eight-under-par score of 136 for the two rounds.
The event didn’ t end there though as it carried on into the night with entertainment, food and drinks for the hard earned golfers and their guests and Glazerite employees.
Through voluntary donations from team members a raffle throughout the day and auction in the evening the whole event generated a staggering £ 4235 for Glazerites nominated charity Cancer Research UK.
Glazerite Chairman John Hewitt believes the event was the strongest yet,“ The quality of golf gets better each year and is reflected in some excellent scores. Over £ 4000 donated to Cancer Research UK is a fantastic amount and a cause that is close to many of our hearts.“

SPECIALIST HOME IMPROVEMENT FINANCE COMPANY ON-COURSE FOR RECORD YEAR

»»
A COMPANY THAT provides installers with finance solutions that they can offer to homeowners is on-course for a record year of trading.
Manchester-based Improveasy Finance Solutions, looks set to end 2017 with the highest number of installers using its service.
Directors say that they have seen a spike in enquiries from installers, as more consumers use finance options to fund
home improvements such as double-glazed windows and conservatories.
MD Austin Barcley, comments:“ We’ ve identified an upward trend over the last 18 months of more people using finance options to upgrade their homes, creating a golden opportunity for installers of windows and conservatories. Companies that become Appointed Representatives( AR) will appear on the Financial
Conduct Authority( FCA) register; and can then begin offering finance options, under the Improveasy brand.
Installers also have the opportunity to offer finance options under their own brand.
“ We also provide customers added value such as training on how best to use finance in a sales context,” says Austin.“ Using us allows SME installers to compete against more established national
brands, as they can now offer finance to the homeowner who would mostly prefer a local installer.”
