Promotions at local business

Dorset based Domestic Angels has recently promoted two of its Angels to team leaders as the business goes from strength to strength. Operations Director Sam Acton took the decision to promote Marie Raggett and Lisa Cooper so she could utilise their ever growing skill bases and also move the business forward strategically without her being so hands on day to day.There are twenty angels and Domestic Angels is a Venus regional and National award winner for Home Based Businesses and Sam is a home business champion, and having 20 sta� members all employed and being paid holiday goes to show that the days of cottage industry type home businesses are long gone.Lisa and Marie have both been with the �rm over 5 years and are both dedicated to Sam and the Domestic Angels brand. Commenting after the promotion Lisa said, “I joined the Angels after having my daughter Milly and was able to �t in my hours around childcare needs, I am delighted with my promotion I feel so privileged that Sam has the faith in me to help her run the company and we have just recruited 3 new members of sta�. I recently appeared on Radio Solent to discuss my role and this was so nerve wracking but just goes to show how my role has evolved and I am happy to be part of a thriving business in a period of such growth especially bearing in mind Sam runs it all from home “Marie also commented, “I am really pleased to have been progressed like this and love the fact I am constantly learning new skills, I love working with the Angels and every day is completely di�erent. We of course sign con�dentiality agreements so there are no horror stories to share!“

Sam Acton added, ”These changes are in order to evolve the infrastructure of the business in order to obtain more growth. This growth helps absorb auto enrolment, wages and changes in legislation which lead to extra overheads. This means I can concentrate on growing our domestic clean side of the business whilst Lisa and Marie concentrate on business development and recruitment.”

Wow! What a wonderful few months it has been for music. The chart topping Royal Blood have wrestled through the auto tuned mainstream pop acts and reality show winners and proven that people are still excited by talented, thoughtful and well-crafted musicians. Birmingham’s current scene has brought us amazing new acts like Peace, Superfood and Jaws - all of which have played small venues in Bournemouth recently. They have proven that young bands and artists with something to say are starting to appear, and mean business. Bournemouth is no di�erent at the moment and there is an amazing array of bands on the verge of breaking big.

The likes of Saturday Sun, Beth Johnstone, Annie Winter, Beartown Zodiac, Powdered Cows, Empire A�air, Xander Allen and The Keys, Drew Allen and Peace, Love and Gloves have been putting on storming shows all year and are beginning to back it up with cracking records too. What better time then to start checking out your local live music scenes and catching these artists on the way up. Imagine saying to your friends that you saw Laura Marling and Foals at Sixty Million Postcards with only 100 people in the venue (these gigs did happen!) or you saw John Cooper Clarke at The Winchester. The gigs don’t show any sign of slowing for the winter either.

If you jump on the bus from Westbourne to the BIC on December 5th then you will be met with the colourful forward thinking sounds of Bombay Bicycle Club. They have just been nominated for the Mercury Prize with their fourth album “So Long See

Westbourne’s Music SceneWinter 2014 Local Music Guide

You Tomorrow”. It is truly a stunning record and a great opportunity to see one of the best bands of the current era. Other unmissable shows at the BIC include Ska legends Madness on the 9th December and recent Glastonbury head-liners Kasabian on the 25th November.

Open Mic at Camden BarJust opened in Westbourne is the shiny new Camden Bar and I can tell you it’s absolutely brilliant. Camden has grown and this is now the sister venue to the bar of the same name in Lower Parkstone. Camden has developed a fantastic reputation for sourcing local

produce and supporting local trades and brewers with their selection food and drink. Camden runs frankly the best open mic night in town. The reason for this is there is no mic. This leads to a truly intimate experience whereby you can here a penny drop as the audience close in on the performer. This ultimately makes it amazing to play but also just as exciting to be an audience member for. Make sure you put Camden on your to do list, you will not be disappointed.

Just a few minutes walk from Westbourne is top music venue The Winchester. Highlights over the next two months include The Computers on November 16th. The Computers have carved an excellent reputation as a live act and they will also be supported by the very well known Max Raptor. With both of these acts on the line up this is an unmissable show. Also on the �rst Wednesday of the month is still the poetry showcase of Freeway Poets. This event is always packed and o�ers a great platform to many artists and poets in the surrounding area.

Thanks for taking the time to read my page, I hope you all enjoy your Christmas. I also hope you will get to hear some live music prior to that and I look forward to keeping you up to date in the New Year.

Classic Christmas Pudding RecipeNothing beats homemade

Ingredients200g plain �our3 free range eggs200g currants, washed200g sultanas, washed200g raisins, stoned and chopped100g mixed peel, chopped200g breadcrumbs200g demerara sugar200g shredded suet1 lemon, �nely grated rind & juice 100g almondspinch of saltnutmeg, cinnamon, mixed spice275ml of old beer or stout

Good Christmas puddings take time. This recipe should ideally be made over two days. On the �rst day mix the ingredients. On the second day prepare the bowls and steam the puddings. This will make one 2lb / 900g pudding or two 1lb / 450g puddings.Mix the sultanas, currants, raisins and peel together in a large bowl. Stir in the breadcrumbs, sugar, suet and lemon rind. Blanch the almonds by pouring boiling water over the nuts and then leave them to stand for a few minutes. The skins will now come o� easily. Chop the almonds fairly �nely and add to the fruit.Sift the �our, salt and spices together. Beat the eggs and add the lemon juice and stout/beer to them. Add the �our and egg mixture to the other ingredients and mix all well together. Leave overnight.Next day, brush the bowl with melted butter and �ll with the pudding mixture. Cover the basin with greaseproof paper, pleated across the top, and tie with string. Steam the large pudding for at least eight hours, or the smaller ones for six hours.When the pudding is cold, re-cover it with fresh greaseproof paper, and store it in a cool, dry place. Serve with a sprig of holly and either brandy (lit of course!) or double cream.
