RYAN PUTS HIS BEST FOOT FORWARD FOR CANCER SUPPORT CHARITY

»»
EMPLAS , MANAGING Director , Ryan Johnson is taking on the Great North Run for cancer support charity , Macmillan .
The largest half marathon in the world , the Great North run , covers a tough 13.1 miles from Newcastle to South Shields .
Ryan is running for Macmillan in memory of his late Nan , Jean Handy , who received support and palliative care from Macmillan
nurses and the Cynthia Spencer Hospice in Kettering .
Ryan said : “ My Nan , Jean , was loved by everyone who knew her and she ’ s missed by all of her family and friends . Saying goodbye was very difficult for everyone .
“ We were able to draw some comfort from the exceptional care that she received during Jean ’ s final days from the Cynthia Spencer Hospice , Age UK and the Macmillan nurses , who cared for
her , allowing Jean to pass away in comfort and with dignity in her own home .
“ This wouldn ’ t have been possible without the support of Macmillan , which is why I ’ m doing the run and asking anyone who can , to donate to my justgiving page . It doesn ’ t matter how much or how little . Every penny counts .”

SPECIALIST HOME IMPROVEMENT FINANCE COMPANY ON-COURSE FOR RECORD YEAR

»»
A COMPANY THAT provides installers with finance solutions that they can offer to homeowners is on-course for a record year of trading .
Manchester-based Improveasy Finance Solutions , looks set to end 2017 with the highest number of installers using its service .
Directors say that they have seen a spike in enquiries from installers , as more consumers use finance options to fund
home improvements such as double-glazed windows and conservatories .
MD Austin Barcley , comments : “ We ’ ve identified an upward trend over the last 18 months of more people using finance options to upgrade their homes , creating a golden opportunity for installers of windows and conservatories . Companies that become Appointed Representatives ( AR ) will appear on the Financial
Conduct Authority ( FCA ) register ; and can then begin offering finance options , under the Improveasy brand .
Installers also have the opportunity to offer finance options under their own brand .
“ We also provide customers added value such as training on how best to use finance in a sales context ,” says Austin . “ Using us allows SME installers to compete against more established national
brands , as they can now offer finance to the homeowner who would mostly prefer a local installer .”
