A MOSCOW firm catering for “New Russians” want­ ing a more luxurious lifestyle has Targeted a Clith­


eroe firm. Businessman Nikita Ostrovsky and three of his ■


workers visited the town for hands-on experience at Ultraframe, one of Europe’s leading conservatory man­ ufacturers, and then placed a substantial order for components. Business is booming for Mr Ostrovsky, who builds


conservatories for the new rich of the post Commu­ nist era. Normally, he imports roofs made at Ultra­ frame’s Salthill factory, but now wants to assemble the components at his own premises. Mr Ostrovsky and his three employees have been learning how to fabricate the products and operate the


computer processes involved, under the supervision of Colin Hollis, Ultraframe’s technical support and train­ ing manager, and Jack Lonsdale, the firm’s traning officer. By the end of the week-long visit, the Russian firm had placed an order for components for 50 roofs,


with the promise of further substantial orders to follow. Said Mr Hollis:'“They told us that only about 5%


of the population in Russia is reasonably wealthy and the rest are pretty poor. The rich, known as the New Russians, are ordering conservatories for the new properties they are having built.” Our picture shows the Russians visitors with Ultra­ frame hosts. (CAT 8902)

1953 and educated at Edisford Primary School and Ribblesdale High School, Coun., McGowan thinks it is vital to start planning the town’s celebrations and commemorations of the new Millennium now, so that future generations “can look back and see what we


did.” After leaving school in 1968, Coun. McGowan took on


a number of jobs in the town before ending up as a gardener for the old borough council. He moved on to become head gardener at his old secondary school and Ribblesdale Nursery until an accident brought an end


to his career in 1991. He joined the Liberal Democrats later that year


and a successful career in local government ensued. He had praise for the outgoing Mayor, Coun. Ste­ phen Holt, when he said: “ If I can achieve half as much as Stephen has done in the past two years I will be doing very well indeed."


On Tuesday, tradition took centre stage during the annual mayor-making proceedings, and the pomp and
