Travelite Winner Announced

On May 9, 2012, in Clark and Partners, Out and About, Peak Village, by Debbie Chapman

We would like to offer a massive congratulations to our competition winner Mrs Beardshaw from Chesterfield.

 

The competition was run at our new store inPeakVillage. Mrs Beardshaw was one of only a few people who correctly guessed the amount of key rings in the jar at 107! She was entered with the other correct answers into the prize draw and won.

Mrs Beardshaw is the lucky winner of the wonderful Travelite wheelchair, she was overjoyed when we called with the good news.

Linda, from our team, and I visited Mrs Beardshaw this week to present her prize. She was “Thrilled to bits” and joked that her friend who had also entered the competition at the same time would be very jealous as she wanted to win it!

The extremely light weight fold up wheelchair will come in handy for her holiday to Madeira later this year especially, as she found last year, there is no where to hire wheelchairs from in Madeira.

 

Following my visit to meet Mrs Beardshaw I am pleased she was our winner I happy that someone very deserving won.

 

Congratulations!

 

Thank you to everyone who took part and who has visited our new shop atPeakVillage. We appreciate your support and hope to see you again soon.

New Spring Feature!

On April 16, 2012, in Clark and Partners, Ergonomic, Gardening Tool, Out and About, Peak Village, by Debbie Chapman

Our new shop at Peak Village is not the only new addition to the dales….introducing our new fabulous gardening aids. With Summer right around the corner, now is the perfect time to get your garden in shape so you can relax and enjoy the sun!

 

The attractive range includes the new ergonomic hand tools, specially shaped with comfy grip handles, they are strong yet light. They are designed to give more leverage with less wrist stress, allowing you to do the weeding with less effort.

These fantastic hand tools include – ergonomic trowel, trans planter, weeder and cultivator and can be bought separately or as part of a set.

 

 

Also for the budding gardener is the new Pro Light range, which compromises of fork, spade and grabber. Both the fork and spade are made from Pro Light carbon steel making them light and easy to carry, because the dirt you are digging is heavy enough!

The spade has a heat tempered carbon steel blade increasing it’s toughness making it easier to use on hard surfaces. The digging fork has square shard ‘English-Style’ tines making it ideal for turning and cultivating soil. They are both equipped with the new ergonomic ‘O Grip’ handle which again is designed to reduce the strain on the user and gives more leverage.

To accompany this range is the Garden Grabber, cleverly designed with its telescopic handles, it is the ultimate back saving clean up tool lifting almost anything without bending or straining.

To complete the set there is the folding kneeler and bench. A sturdy multi use garden aid which can be a portable seat or a padded kneeler, giving greatly improved comfort when working in the garden and when not in use it neatly folds away for storage.

All these products are available now in our Peak Village Store at Rowsley near Matlock.

 

They are great if you want to spruce up your own gardening tools and will also make ideal gifts for those other keen gardeners!

 

Make your dad the envy of his neighbours this fathers day with these amazing gardening aids.

Fantastic Weekend!

On April 10, 2012, in Clark and Partners, Footwear, Out and About, Rise and Recline, Sandpiper, Scooters, by Debbie Chapman

A BIG THANK YOU to everyone who visited and supported the opening of our new shop at Peak Village this weekend. It was a huge success !

Our official opening day was Thursday 5th April and we had our opening party Saturday and Easter Sunday.

With the shop decorated in bunting and a bow and balloon for every scooter, it definitely had the wow factor, the only thing missing was the sun. That was ok because we had the Easter bunny on hand with sweets for the children, goodie bags for the adults and prizes draws for all to enter.

Our scooters were on show for all to see which looked great outside the shop, but it was obvious the scooter with all the attention was the fabulous Drive Sport Rider. With it’s retro style and Harley Davison grace it’s no wonder everyone wanted a photo on it.

Inside the shop the Shoe Emporium was definitely a show stopper, a full wall of shoes, every woman’s dream! With the new spring and summer styles available they are hard to resist. Not forgetting the men we also have a great range of mens shoes and slippers to save you extra shopping.

Peak Village is a great shopping centre set in the heart of the dales, surrounded by the great British countryside and is proving to be the ideal set for the new shop. The crowds of people who visited us this weekend were a variety of local people and visitors to the area who welcomed us and were pleased our services are now available here.

If you have not yet visited the Peak Village shop pop along, you’re still in time to enter the prize draws.

Once again thank you and we look forward to seeing you soon.

Fame at Last……..

On March 1, 2012, in Clark and Partners, Footwear, Motability, Out and About, Sandpiper, Scooters, Sunrise Medical, by Debbie Chapman

Some of you might think our staff look very familiar, especially at our Doncaster branch.  Sue Shaw has worked for Clark and Partners for over 10 years but now she’s setting her sights on an acting career after her You Tube success.  Customers often tell us they want to hear how a product works from real people and not just sales or technical talk.  Understanding what something can do for you makes you much more inclined to give it a go and listening to experiences from people who deal with goods daily can be a great help.

Sue has recorded several videos showing customers products including stairlifts, bathing aids and walking sticks.  The rise and recline chair video received 103 hits within the first few days of release.  They aren’t your usual sales type films designed to sell you something you don’t need.  They give real information and answer questions commonly asked by customers, whilst sharing the experience Sue has gained over her years in the mobility industry.

Last week a customer in the Doncaster branch recognised Sue from her You Tube fame and thanked her for her helpful tips and advice. Other members of the retail team will also be sharing their knowledge, providing videos via You Tube so customers can find out more information prior to visiting our shops.  The only danger now is losing our valuable team toHollywoodif fame goes to their head!!
