It had been another busy day at the Loco Works FC Social Club in Inverurie, with a football match in the afternoon and an evening function too. As Club President, Harold Petrie and his wife locked up - as they had done many times before - there was a raid to try to steal the takings of the day. And this robbery tragically left Harold dead at just 46 years old when he was brutally attacked and stabbed by one of the thieves. Who was responsible for his death?Writing Credit: Chris WoodYou can buy Chris's second book, 'Death in the Theatre' here: https://www.amazon.com/Death-Theatre-Chris-Wood/dp/1399009117Support me at Patreon:https://www.patreon.com/UKTrueCrimeWatch my YouTube Channelhttps://www.youtube.com/@Adam-uktruecrime Hosted on Acast.

Welcome to The kbbreview Podcast, your host as always is Andy Davies and this week it's Part Two of our How to be a Successful Retailer two-parter. Andy has been catching up with winners from this year's kbbreview Retail & Design Awards to pick their brains about running successful and award-winning businesses.Last week was a fascinating conversation between our Special Achievement Award recipient Paul Rowland from CP Hart and our Rising Star of the Year winner Angelika Kotarska from Angelic Bathrooms in Northampton - highly recommend going back to that one if you haven't heard it.This week, well this is another great one, as we get to hear from our two Retailers Of The Year - Darren Walker from Laings in Inverurie, our Kitchen Retailer of the Year 2024 and Steph Warner from Pier1 Bathrooms in Hove - our Bathroom Retailer of the Year 2024.These are two very successful and dynamic businesses with two completely different back stories - Laings first opened its doors in 1862, Pier1 in 2019. The Pier1 showroom is about 1,500sqft and Laings is more like 13,500sqft.Laings employs about 90 people, Pier1….5And, of course, they're about as far from each other geographically as it's possible to get while still being in the UK.So two very different businesses, with two very different perspectives on what it takes to be the Retailer of the Year.Today's episode is brought to you with the support of our very good friends at Lawcris. They lead the field in wood based panel products, laminates and edgings with big brands such as Emporio Skin, Kronospan and many more. With over 40 vehicles in their fleet, they can provide next day delivery on all stocked products. You can find out all about them at lawcris.co.uk Hosted on Acast.

This is Part One of a two-parter that will conclude next week where we talk to winners from the kbbreview Retail & Design Awards 2024 to get under their skin, hear their stories and see what makes their businesses successful.Next week, we'll be meeting our Kitchen Retailer of the Year - Laings in Inverurie - and our Bathroom Retailer of the Year - Pier1 Bathroom in Hove. Two very different businesses with two very interesting perspectives on the market.But to kick it off today we've got an interview that's so interesting, so insightful and actually just gives you a bit of a warm feeling inside. As many of you will know, at our awards we give out our Special Achievement trophy. It goes to those individuals who have contributed something very special to their business and the industry as a whole and this year it went to… Paul Rowland from CP Hart.CP Hart is, of course, the premium bathroom retailer that now has 15 showrooms and a £50m turnover. When Paul took it over 20 years ago it was really struggling and he has lead the team that has made it what it is today. He is the retailer's retailer.At the opposite end of the career path, we also gave out the Rising Star of the Year trophy - this goes to individuals under the age of 30 who are making a real impact in their retail business and the 2024 winner was Angelika Kotarska who started her own bathroom retail business - Angelic Bathrooms in Northampton in 2022, aged just 22.So, you can see where this is going can't you…we thought it would be a good idea to get them both together and see what lessons they can learn from each other and it's fascinating stuff.Finding good people, managing through financial crises, the relationship with suppliers, finding customers, marketing - it's all in here and more besides from when Angelika and host Andy Davies went down to the flagship CP Hart showroom in Waterloo to see Paul.Today's episode is brought to you with the support of our very good friends at Lawcris.

She meets one of the organisers and an artist involved.Mark meets Mike Scotland, the founder of Community cleanUP. The Aberdeen-based group organises litter-picks to clean up the city. But as Mark hears, starting to litter-pick has literally been a lifesaver for Mike.In this week's Scotland Outdoors podcast, Mark meets Martin Kennedy, chairman of the National Farmers Union of Scotland. In this excerpt, Martin discusses river management and laments the lack of dredging and what he sees as the negative side effects.In response to Martin, we chat live to hydromorphologist Dr Stephen Addy from the James Hutton Institute. He tells us what his role involves and why our approach to river management has changed over the years.A little earlier this week, Inverurie in Aberdeenshire attempted to stage the biggest snowball fight in Scotland. Rachel was in the thick of the action as the snowballs were flying between the two teams.Before Christmas we asked you to send in your ornithological queries for friend of the programme and North East Bird Recorder, Ian Broadbent to answer. This week, Mark and Rachel met up with Ian at the Inchgarth Reservoir to put his knowledge to the test and see if he come up with all the answers!And in a week where the North East has been blanketed in snow, Mark heads out to muse about his love-hate relationship with the white stuff.

Welcome to the kbbreview Podcast, this is episode three of season four and your host as always is kbbreview managing editor Andrew Davies.One of the things that's great about doing this podcast is getting to speak to fantastic retailers about how and why they do what they do.And that is never more true than when we're talking to finalists in the kbbreview Retail & Design Awards.We're now just a few weeks away from finding out who our winners are for 2022 at the event on March the 7th and in this special episode w're talking to a couple of our business category finalists to find out what makes them tick.Before we meet them, we should caveat everything by saying that the fact w're talking to them is not indicative of how likely they are to win as the judging process is still actually taking place as we speak.They're just really interesting stories that are worth exploring and first up we have Neil Gokcen from The Birkdale Kitchen Company near Southport – a brand new business that's not only up for New Kitchen Retailer of the Year but also Kitchen Showroom of the Year.And then we have Darren Walker from Laings in Inverurie – a consistently high-performer in these awards and for 2022 they're up for Kitchen Showroom of the Year as well as being in the running for both Kitchen Retailer of the Year AND Bathroom Retailer of the Year.Two fantastic retailers, two very different stories of success.

They live in the heart of the Shire, they're the team behind TOWIG (The Only Way Is Garioch), but filmmakers Alstair Stewart and Andrew Forbes are saving hard to buy the gear that will take their projects to the next level. That's in today's IADF podcast. If you have a great script then that's half the battle," says filmmaker Alistair Stewart, from Inverurie, who runs Reel Moon Productions with friend Andrew Forbes. The pair are working and saving to make money to buy equipment that will help them improve the production quality of their films.They've bought the Canon EOS 550D, one of the Canon DSLRs that are proving so popular among indie filmmakers around the world. That improves their video footage.Next on their shopping list is an audio recorder. Anyone who uses a DSLR knows that you have to record sound on a separate device to get the best audio results.Along with that there are the cables and boom pole to support the mic.And then there's the tripod."When you are doing a [tripod] pan you can hear a nice..creakkkkkkk!" laughs Alistair, making a mental note to add a tripod to their shopping list.However most pressing for the two filmmakers is to find someone with skills to operate and work behind the camera while Alistair's in front.They need volunteer(s) to help with all sorts of production work. You'll get a sandwich for your time (they reassured me!).They're jumping through hoops to make their productions work as best they can: TOWIG, Dream Girl and Tagged.Wouldn't it be great if a big-hearted local business offered a couple of hundred quid to pay for an audio recorder or a tripod to help Alistair and Andrew out.So, lads, start knocking on doors and see what help is out there.'If you don't ask, you don't get,' my ex-wife used to say to me.Find Reel Moon Productions here:FacebookYou Tube
