Surrey county in great shape to emerge from recession

In Man and Van Surrey we are pleased to inform you that almost all Surrey's boroughs are in the top 50 in a league of areas most likely to be resilient against the effects of recesion. Research carried out by credit check company Experian has found that Elmbridge was the most likely location in the country to cope best with spending cuts and other likely effects of the economic downturn. Other areas featured in the top 10 were Waverley, Mole Valley and Surrey Heath, with Guildford appearing at number 12. Pauline Hedges, head of policy for Surrey Chambers of Commerce, agreed that the county was well-placed to survive the recession, adding: "It's something we've been saying for some time.Traditionally it's always been the case that Surrey is last in and first out. People here tend to have good, solid jobs that are secure. I think all the towns are doing really well, Guildford particularly is picking up, they're all showing a sense of revitalisation. It's about time Guildford became the county town in reality as well as just in name. It's an upwards spiral, as people gain confidence, as they see things are happening, they think ‘I'll have a go, I'll join in'." Mrs Hedges said she was especially pleased with the town of West Byfleet, which she believed had been helped by Woolworths moving out and a Costa Coffee moving in. As you can see, Surrey area has always been successful and that convinces many people to move here. In Man and Van Surrey we would love to help you move into this prospering area.

Wimbledon Bookfest with Man and Van Wimbledon

Man and Van Wimbledon is taking any opportunity to socialise with local community and this week there is perfect occasion to do so. This week in Wimbledon is starting a Wimbledon Bookfest. The bookfest is now in its fourth year. It was started in 2006 by Tony Kane and Fiona Razvi, who wanted to raise cultural activity and awareness in Wimbledon. Working in the local media they were meeting many writers and authors, and had strong connections with the arts environment in the area. A team was formed with representatives from the arts and publishing sectors, including Polka Theatre, New Wimbledon Theatre, Merton Council, Wimbledon Guild, local bookshops and Time & Leisure magazine. A charity, Wimbledon Arts, was formed and a trust set up. Books were chosen as a vehicle for the arts with long terms plans of a more broad arts festival in the future. The team is almost entirely volunteer-based. We have only a small amount of admin support. The festival has grown, and we now have a specialised team of considerable size, and we have developed many community partnerships. The launch of Wimbledon Bookfest took place on Saturday, when Michael Morpurgo discussed his new book Butterfly Lion with actress and wildlife campaigner Virginia McKenna. The opening day also featured music and poetry events, as well as an appearance by crime writer Lynda La Plante. Dozens of literary events have already taken place across Wimbledon this week, with more to come before the end of the festival on Sunday. Highlights this weekend include a big tent by the war memorial on Wimbledon Common which will host Salman Rushdie and the festival's first comedy night - as well as the common's own Wombles. Novellist Joseph O'Connor, author of Star of the Sea, will appear on Saturday. As I am myself a fan of Salman Rushdie's novels, I will be attending bookfest and I'm happy to say that whole Man and Van Wimbledon team as well. So hopefully we will see you all there.
