Never would I ever have thought that one day I would not only consider using, but actually be happy that I decided to use an escort dating service. Dukes of Daisy are like no regular escort service and I’m so glad I found them. In my mid-30’s I suddenly found myself going through a divorce. To be honest, I never expected to actually get divorced which is a little strange considering that I thought about it pretty much all the time. While I was still married, divorce didn’t ever seem like an option… with 2 small children, a house and cat, there was too much going on in my life to focus on the nagging voice in my head telling me on a daily basis how unhappy I was and that as soon as the kids were big I would be out of there!

Then, at 35, life took care of the details for me… as it tends to do and I found myself thrown in the world of divorce, lawyers, and constant turmoil. While my circle of friend’s remains happily married, I found myself in swimming most disconcertingly in the unknown depths of life as a single mother.  No one gives you The Divorce Handbook for times like this! So while my friend’s lives carried on as before, I landed up in a new job, new house and a new dating pool! If you have ever been in this situation, you know what is out there and let me tell you, it’s a little scary. My free time became about trying not to cry myself to sleep over a large packet of crisps every night and facing a social life as a singleton.

I tried it all… going to clubs on my own, just to get out of house, going to work events on my own, dreading each and every minute of it, as the bosses wife accosted me in the ladies room, asking when I was going to start dating again. Being set up by married girlfriends, with some younger man, (because all the good ones are already taken and married at this stage) and awkwardly engaging with a complete stranger with absolutely no mutual interests to the point where crying into that packet of crisps started to look really enticing.

Then the invitation came… a friend of a friend had invited me to her 30^th birthday party (the pity invite, no doubt) and a dress up party at that… the theme: dress as your favourite Barbie Doll. The worse part was that I caught wind of the fact that one of my particularly obnoxious ex-dates, was also invited to the party. Knowing that there was NO WAY that I would be going to a Barbie dress up party as “Single Mom Barbie”, possibly the world’s LEAST sexy Barbie doll, which is probably why they never made one! So I made the decision that something had to be done. And that’s when I discovered Dukes of Daisy. The terrifying thought of trying an escort dating service was only surpassed the absolute loathing of the idea of going to a Doll dress up party, and facing my ex, alone.

I did all my research on Dukes of Daisy non-sexual escorts before finally deciding to give it a try, mostly due to the fact that Dukes of Daisy guarantees their service to be totally hassle free, with no emotional drama and headache. Going to the party was so much easier walking into a relative stranger’s party, in dress up clothes, with someone who was so completely relaxed and not at all phased by the circumstances. What a total relief, not having to deal with the lecherous ex but also not having to sit by myself in a corner hoping that someone would take pity on me and include me in their conversation. It wasn’t a late night, I have to be honest, but at the end of it, my escort had been such a gentleman with absolutely no judgement or misguided expectations and I can honestly say that this using Dukes of Daisy was the best idea I have ever had.

IBS provides services extensively across the UK and our clients range vastly, from those in the manufacturing industry to the mining and petrochemical industries and the like. Most Industries, including Food, Beverage, Paper, Health, Water, Packaging, and Pneumatic Conveying require industrial blowers for their manufacturing.

What sets IBS apart however, is that we understand that any machinery downtime is going to cost your business severely. We acknowledge and understand the importance of keeping your factory operational and producing consistently, in order to achieve your manufacturing commitments. All machines, when not properly serviced, will eventually suffer with wear and tear, run down and eventually begin to fail.

In an industry where manufacturing of equipment can take months to produce, we are proud to hold the largest fleet of equipment for hire.

dblo associates architects Clapham, London, have been in operation since 1998. The architectural team encompasses years of experience which means that together they provide a vast range of knowledge and expertise which they bring to each and every one of their projects. Over and above their years of experience which sets them up to be fore-runners within their industry, is their belief that the quality of a person’s surroundings directly influences the quality of that person’s life. This means that whether it’s a public environment, a work environment or our homes, the buildings that we see, work, live and play in, all have influence over our lives.

This may seem like a strange way of looking at it but if we examine this closely, it starts to appear to be quite accurate and realistic. In a recent study, called The Value of Good Design, we learn how buildings and spaces create social and economic value. After a poll was taken in the early 2002, stats and figures were analysed to produce a consist view of how people consider well designed buildings or spaces as having a positive influence over their lives. Apply this to all areas of life and we can see that it is not just our homes which have great importance in our live but so too does our work environment …where we often spend a vast majority of time, sometimes more than we do at home. Having a positive influence on our lives means that not only does the space we surround ourselves with affect our emotional sense of well-being, but it also impact our levels of productivity and physical well-being. It also means that the general value of our life improves and socially the broader community benefits from lower crime rates and better property values. There is no question that the better the environment, the higher the person’s quality of life becomes but we really can extend that to a deeper mind set of well –being and prosperity.

Wouldn’t it be unpleasant to work every day in a space that had no windows to the outdoors? One might feel trapped and engulfed by the workspace. Ergonomically we cannot work well unless the physical set up of the space is suitable to allow us to perform our jobs optimally. Aesthetically, one would naturally function better in a workspace with colour and light than in one without. Similarly, a school would not promote ease of education and learning and pupils would not achieve as highly as those with the benefits of good design. The small things really can have the largest effect on a person’s psyche.

This is what dblo architects Fulham is all about… ensuring that not only are their projects executed with a highest levels of expertise and accuracy but that as a design project, they offer the very best opportunity to explore the lifestyle benefits of quality design. Dblo architects explore the concept of postmodern architecture within their designs, creating buildings and spaces which exceed expectations and creating and enhancing value through design.

We know that many people can think of marquees as just for summer weddings, put up and used for a weekend, a short-term solution for a one-off event. However, increasingly more of our business is coming from long-term Marquee Hire, and you may be surprised at the type of events bespoke marquees are used for.

One of our long-term clients is The Royal Society and for the last few years, we have provided a marquee for their Summer Science Exhibition. For those of you unfamiliar with The Royal Society, it is situated in Carlton Terrace overlooking The Mall and is a building steeped in history. It is a beautiful space inside but is not big enough to sustain a long exhibition. That is where Trafalgar and JF Marquees stepped in to help.

We erected a 9 x 48-metre marquee on Carlton Terrace, which afforded great views of The Mall for all attendees. It also meant that the exhibition would not be affected if the Great British Summer Weather did its’ worst. In addition to the structure of the marquee, we provided chairs, tables, marquee lining and lighting in the form of chandeliers.

As always, access and egress for a Central London installation, was interesting, especially as the Tour of Britain was taking place at the same time. But, with precise planning, we pulled off even the most challenging of set ups and takedowns.

Another long-term client is Chessington Garden Centre.  With this project, we get to contribute to the magic of Christmas by providing a marquee to host their Christmas Grotto. The Garden Centre itself is using space to its’ capacity at Christmas time, selling Christmas trees and decorations, so we provide a marquee on their patio area that keeps Father Christmas and all his visitors warm and dry.

As well as the marquee, Marquee Hire also provided heating and lighting and roof overlay in festive colours. The versatility of a marquee space also means the client can update and create the theme they want as they are literally starting with a blank canvas. Families travel for miles to visit the Chessington Garden Centre Christmas Experience and we are proud to contribute to such a successful event.

Our experience of co-ordinating large long-term hires means that we have several regular clients who use us year after year. It means a lot to us that they trust us to deliver a high-quality service for their flagship events, and we always go the extra mile to ensure that their specific requirements are met.  Our experience of complex builds with sometimes limited access means that even the most unusual of settings can transform a seemingly unusable space into the perfect venue.

If you have a long-term event or a themed marquee hire function to plan, contact us for a solution that makes the event not only workable but memorable too.
