. ■ .7 _ PhoneWorks d o e s y o u r s ? Q SL ■ i l "


IT’S good to talk - to ooin a phrase - and Clitheroe company Phoneworks is leading the way when it comes to providing the right mobile phone service


at the right price.


Based in Eshton Terrace, Phoneworks, which has aiso operated in the past under the name of Island Phones, has been in business for eight years, and has a number of claimed ‘ firsts under its belt. It believes it is the longest-established business of its kind in Clitheroe and was the first to introduce mobiles phones and the Orange and One-2-One networks to the area.


Its services range from the selling of phones, packages and accessories to giving customers help and advice in choosing the right phone for them, as well as selling and installing in-car kits.


a? ?,v- i-=- "I


The main client base centres around the Ribble Valley, from occasional users to businesses wanting a number of phones for their employees, but customers are coming from as far afield as Manchester to get the right mobile phone deal. The business has even had a customer from Southampton.


Following a revamp of the shop front in April, Phoneworks is now looking to expand the business more into the corporate sector. Already, it provides a phone account management service for a number of national and local companies through the four main networks. Orange, One-2-One,


Cellnet and Vodafone.


Phoneworks mainly offers deals and packages through the Orange network, as it believes this provides the best reception for the Ribble Valley area. And its new tariff can even give BT a run for its money.


Company secretary Jamie Allen commented: "We provide a service, free of charge, where we will look at the phone bills of an existing mobile phone user and compile a report to see if we can offer


them a better, value-for-money deal.


"But we don’t just deal in mobiles. We will also take a look at land line phones, through BT for example, and try and set customers up with a system which offers them cheaper rates and calls.

Phoneworks considers itself as Clitheroe’s premier communications consultancy specialist and offers a vinyl sign writing service through its sister company Signworks, and often orders for the two go hand in hand. Jamie said: "When companies or local businesses place an order for a mobi e phone, it is surprising how many also place an order for a new sign.

GMTV spotlight on Home-Start


TH E Home-Start charity, which has a Ribble Valley branch, has been chosen as one of the five worthy causes to benefit from GMTV's "Get up and Give Week", which runs from Monday until


Friday next week. The national coverage is


seen as a marvellous opportunity to raise the profile of Home-Start and to explain the work it does to more than 15 million viewers. The "Get Up and Give Week" campaign will be featured on GM TV between 6 a.m. and 9-25 a.m all next week. On Tuesday, the pro-


1 gramme will focus in partic­ ular on Home-Start. Home- Start Kibble Valley, based in York Street, Clitheroe, is preparing to deal with the extra inquiries it expects to receive. Locaily, it will give


Home-Start a chance to attract more volunteers, quite apart from the money raised. Home-Start Kibble Valley already has a set of dedicated volunteers, and will be looking for more peo­ ple to start the next prepa­ ration course in the autumn. Volunteers celebrated the first year of Home-Start in


the Ribble Valley with a lunch at the Wellsprings on June 10th, which was thor­ oughly enjoyed by everyone. Even though the scheme


is still in its infancy in this area, many families with children under five have already benefited from its help. Trained volunteers visit families on a weekly basis, offering practical help, support and, most of all, a listening ear. The fam­ ilies may be isolated, inex­ perienced or may have sev­ eral under fives, twins, triplets or children with spe­ cial needs. All the volun­ teers are parents, and are, therefore, aware of the many demands placed on parents of very young chil­


dren. So if you have parenting


experience, have two or three hours a week spare and would like to support a family, Home-Start Kibble Valley would be pleased to hear from you. For further details, contact Sylvia Wyatt on 01200 442102.


Former Pendle Furniture workers get back together


THEKE was an interesting


contrast between past and present when employees of Pendle Furniture got togeth­


er for a reunion. Lowerhouse Canteen,


Burnley, was packed with


I more than 100 people who are currently employed or have worked at the Sabden factory previously. Pendle Furniture closed


down, but re-opened as Con­ trast when it was bought out by a firm from Preston. There was a lot of catch­


ing up to do as ex-employees were interested in hearing all about the changes which


have taken place under the


new owners. Entertainment on the


night was provided by a singer and saxophonist and, following a delicious buffet, the night was rounded off


\vith a disco. Organiser Lisa Bond was


delighted with the way the evening went. "People were there who


had not seen each other for 14 years so they had a lot of catching up to do. Everyone seemed to really enjoy it and want us to organise another one next year," she said.
