Office Organiser Wanted


Rapid Growing and successful Landscape gardening business urgently needs someone to sort out and run the office.


To date most of the admin/quotation work has been done by the proprietor but the business has grown to the stage that this is no longer a practical solution.


The successful candidate will need to be mature and determined, ideally aged between 35 and 45 years of age. A strong confident


character is essential not only in dealing with enquiries from clients but aiso to impose order and structure on the boss himself. An interest in gardening would be an advantage but not essential.


We are looking for someone to work 3 days a week based in our


Barnoldswick office. Our business is garden design and landscaping (best in Show at Harrowgate Garden Show 2006) and is growing.

many of us aspire to, but it is not all personal trainers, private jets and plastic surgery for these celebrities. They are the envy of milUons with their designer clothes and cavernous houses, but when it comes to car insurance the glitterati are getting a raw deal. According to the UK’s leading financial

alerts”, criteria that, if you fulfil them, will mean you will be paying top dollar for motor insurance. Looking down the list though, it is reassuring to know that most of them will be able to afford it. First up you have your international jet set


and their hangers-on, people who drive flash cars and earn a fortune. Then there are the TV presenters and movie stars, anyone in show business. Further down the list are people who are


considered “moral hazards”, those who are exposed to the temptation of underhand deal­ ings, like gamblers and scrap metal dealers. If you are in a high-profile or dangerous job,


you will also be paying over the odds, so diplomats, embassy staff, rally drivers and wrestlers beware. Finally, people who have to rush from job to job, such as bookmakers who regularly dash between race meetings, are also on the hit list. The safest professions for insurers are desk­


bound pen-pushers, like accountants and civil servants.

would be if offered with an automatic gearbox. Unfortunately, many manufactur­


ers seem to think “small”, “automat­ ic” and “diesel” are mutually exclu­ sive concepts and continue to foist manual gearboxes on us. When most of these cars are used for city duties, that just makes no sense whatsoever. Therefore, my curiosity was piqued


when Renault announced i t was plumbing its clever Quickshift5 gear­ box into one of my favourite tots, the Modus dCi86. At this point, I should correct a small but important issue. The QuickshiftS gearbox is not an automatic at all, but then nor is it a conventional manual. A “proper” automatic car has a


torque converter, which is a hydraulic fluid coupling that replaces the clutch in a manual car. It is what makes the shifts in an automatic butter-smooth, but its inherent inefficiency makes automatic cars rather thirsty - not great for a small car. The Holy Grail that transmission


manufacturers have been striving towards is a system that offers the


Mi--' If


smoothness and convenience of a decent automatic with the efficiency, response and - when the mood takes you - the good old- fashioned fun of a manual gearbox. Some have come closer than others


to achieving th is end. R e n a u l t’s QuickshiftS is a step in the r ig h t direction. What is more, it only costs £500 over the manual option, which given that most automatic options in this class tend to be priced at around £1,000 looks good value. So what do you get? Basically a

conventional five-speed gearbox with a robotised clutch system. Should you wish, you can fhp the gear shifter across to “A” for automated mode. The dCi86 diesel power plant offers


a reasonable slug of poke and the QuickshiftS gearbox exacts no penal­ ty when it comes to fuel consump­ tion. In fact, its 62.8 m.p.g. fuel econ­ omy figure is even more economical than its manual sibling, and the accel­ eration to 60 of 13.2 seconds and the top speed of 104 m.p.g. are both use­ fully quick.
