Gloucestershire’s Young Solicitor of the Year




On the evening of 10th June, members of Gloucestershire’s and Wiltshire’s legal profession met in the impressive Chavenage House to recognise the exemplary input made by the younger solicitors in the area.

Rickerbys Solicitors had two of its dynamic solicitors up for the award of ‘Young Solicitor of the Year’. Mark Carter, Solicitor in Rickerbys’ Commercial Property team was declared runner up and Steven Murray went home with the award.

Steven has worked in the firm’s dispute resolution team for the last four years and specialises in contentious intellectual property matters.

Steven won the award for spearheading the young professional social group "Pulse", which aims to provide a more relaxed approach to networking in Cheltenham and for his efforts supporting the firm’s trainees as they progress to qualification.

Honoured to be the region’s first ‘Young Solicitor of the Year’, Steven was keen to thank his wife Laura whose support and patience made it possible to achieve the award.

Steven also said, "It is great that young solicitors are recognized for their achievements as it is important to invest in the future of the profession."

THINKING OF BECOMING A DRIVING INSTRUCTOR?




Written by Jim, JSF Driving School

Here at JSF Driving School we are always on the lookout for good Instructors to join our small Gloucestershire based team, & despite high unemployment levels, great Instructors are not always easy to find!

Did you know that since 1970, the only people allowed to give paid instruction in cars had to qualify & have their names entered into the Register of Approved Driving Instructors (ADI) by law? The Driving Standards Agency (DSA) is responsible for conducting all theory and practical driving tests in the UK, & is also responsible for maintaining the Register.

IS THIS THE CAREER FOR YOU?

If you are a good driver and get on with people then you already have the first two requirements to become a Driving Instructor. You will need to have good people skills, patience and empathy.
As most Instructors are self-employed, good business sense and diary management are vital too. You get to decide what hours you work & when, whether it will be full or part time. You may choose to work less & enjoy more leisure time, or work more & reap the rewards of a much higher income level as a self-employed person!

Once qualified, you can venture out on your own, building your business up from scratch through reputation & marketing, or you can join an established business, such as JSF Driving School, where you buy into a franchise package & reduce the risks.

LEGAL REQUIREMENTS.

You will need to have held a full UK car licence for a minimum of three years. You must be a ‘fit and proper’ person, so convictions, motoring and non-motoring, still in force will be taken into account, & a CRB check completed. You must not have been disqualified from driving in the four years prior to being entered in the Register.

HOW DO I BECOME A DRIVING INSTRUCTOR?

Qualifying as an ADI involves taking three tests:

Theory Test.
Driving Test.

The above are much more advanced than the normal ‘learners’ tests.

Test of Instructional Ability – Considered to be the most difficult part of the three tests, this will assess the quality of your instruction in two role play situations, with the Examiner taking the role of the Pupil. Each takes half an hour and both must be passed.


A trainee licence can be issued after you have passed the second test & gained 40 hours training in instructional ability with a qualified ADI. You can then be legally paid to give instruction for up to 6 months whilst you polish your techniques in preparation for the third test.
Once you pass Part 3 you are then fully qualified & can apply to enter the register of ADI’s & claim to be a Driving Standards Agency Approved Driving Instructor - putting the letters DSA ADI (Cars) after your name!
BECOME A DRIVING INSTRUCTOR WITH JSF!
We have all heard the horror stories in the media involving a certain large company, who promises salaries in excess of £30,000 & loans repayable once qualified! Always research & check the small print of any potential trainer or franchise package before you commit!
Here at JSF Driving School we keep things small, local & reasonably priced. We are independent & Gloucestershire based, training only one or two Instructors at a time so that we can maintain our enviable reputation. Your training course will designed around your requirements & needs in a professional, friendly but fun way, at a very competitive price.
As a driving school, JSF is committed to providing each of our Driving Instructors with support that allows them to run their business as efficiently as possible. We know the area and the market & provide a simple, friendly & competitive franchise package – backed by a competent marketing strategy. We place a high value on our reputation so we monitor extensively before allocating a franchise. We invest in our Instructors as much as they invest in us.
If you would like further information, or an informal chat about becoming a Driving Instructor &/or your prospects with JSF, please call 0800 3777 138 or email sharn@jsfdrivingschool.co.uk. Further details can be found on the link http://jsfdrivingschool.co.uk/category/join-the-jsf-team/.

Mirror mirror on the wall - Daddy Cool!


As Father's Day approaches, we, the Scene – The Salon team, have decided to dedicate this week's blog to men's style, PLUS there's a special offer for you to treat the men in your life!



With the world's focus rarely shifting from ladies' fashion, men's style is often overlooked. But that's all about to change – male grooming has never been more topical as the key summer trend sees a return to history's most glamorous era, a time when gentlemen really looked the part. All hail the 1930s!

The era defined Hollywood glamour, exemplified by some of tinseltown's most celebrated leading men - Clark Gable, Gary Cooper and Cary Grant. Famous for their breathtaking good looks, the men of this era's coiffed signature short back and sides took suave sophistication to a new level.

Flash forward the best part of a century, and here we are again – the 1930s slick style is back with modern ferocity. Everyone from Leonardo DiCaprio to Mad Men's John Hamm is rocking the look. And the good news, is that it's a cinch to create at home!



Get the look

At your next visit to the Salon explain you're going for a 1930s look - a short back and sides with a little more length on top. The key to this style is the parting, as this gives the look its meticulous sharpness. Once the parting is made, sweep the hair back towards the nape of the neck, then secure with some heavy duty styling product. Simple!

Note – This look must be well groomed and cut regularly ensuring the hair doesn't reach the nape of the neck when brushed back.

Top tip – If you're determined to recreate the 1930s look, team your new do with a dapper hat and perfectly groomed facial hair. The ladies will be swooning!

Father's Day Special Offer!

Treat the men in your life to a new look of their choice – to celebrate Father's Day this weekend we're offering 20% off all men's services. Offers runs until June 30th, 2011.
