the art reception complex at Lin­ coln Way, Clitheroe, it became quickly obvious th a t pride in the job and passion for detail are two of the key components in the com­ pany’s success. MP Nigel Evans and Ribble


Valley Mayor Coun. John Hill were at the opening which was attended by customers, business associates and friends and saw the 25-year-old company notch up another major success. Over the weekend, a further 200 people visited the company head­


quarters and took advantage of tours of the industries housed on site within the James AIpe devel­ opment. For, families there was a hog-roast and activities including a chance for children to make their own sign. Opening the new 9,000 square


foot reception office complex, Mr Evans paid tribute to the compa­ ny founder’s enterprise and con­ cern for the environment. And, ironically, later in the day


the MP was at the official unveil­ ing of another sign, that of his


local hostelry. The Swan with Two Necks, Pendleton, which had been produced by. . . James Alpe’s sign and design service. The borough’s mayor, Coun.


Hill, applauded the investment, paying tribute to Mr AIpe and emphasising the importance of- businesses such as Alpe’s to the local economy. During a tour of the site, visi­


tors saw the company’s invest­ ment in mechanical and accident repair, MOTs and servicing, and the utilisation of vehicle conver­


sion skills in the manufacture of Spitting Pig hog roast machines - | Steve Marsdeh’s company is the largest provider of the equipment in the United Kingdom. In 12 months, 300 have been


distributed via James AIpe. Visi­ tors then toured the new complex, which houses a reception and I waiting area, showroom, confer­ ence room, offices and the sign and design workshop, which pro-1 vides signage for buildings and displays, as well as individual and fleet range vehicles.

SMARTLY dressed in a brand new uniform, but filled with trep­ idation at what might lie ahead,-


. the first day at “big school” is a milestone for any young scholar. Yet Year 7 pupils beginning


their secondary education at a Ribble Valley high school know from the first moment that they will be in safe hands. Dozens of older students at St


Augustine’s RC High School, in Billiiigton, have-signed up to be mentors and helpmates to new starters there, helping them to familiarise themselves with then- new surroundings. - Earlier this year the Depart­ ment for Education awarded St Augustine’s “Approved Mentor­


ing and Befriending Provider” status for its comprehensive record of safe and effective men­ toring.,This standard is only awarded to schools which can demonstrate, via a comprehen­ sive portfolio of evidence, that-, they comply with all aspects of good practice linked to peer men­ toring. - In a letter to school co-ordina­


tor Mrs Gunn confirming the avyard, the Mentoring and Befriending A^ociation wrote: “We like to use examples of good practice... and ask your permis­ sion to copy extracts from your application portfolio for this pur­ pose.” St Augustine’s offers a range of


mentoring and befriending activ- i t e for pupils of all ages, ranging from older students who support: children in Year 7 through to external mentors who work with Year 11s. Other examples include the Rainbows Club for bereaved children and learning buddies in maths and science and paired reading. .Picture here are, left to right,
