Podcast appearances and mentions of Melton Mowbray

Want to charm a dinner party with words like 'garrigue'? Curious why Cézanne couldn't stay away from Provence, or why Mourvèdre might be your new favourite grape? This sun-soaked bonus episode was recorded mid-2024 Olympics, with Bandol wines in hand and Provençal sunshine on our minds. We explore:Rosés + reds from Bandol;The Mourvèdre grape and its garrigue magic scents;Provence's spell on artists like Cézanne & Van Gogh;A simple tian recipe (aka ratatouille's stylish cousin);The mystery of Melton Mowbray pork pies (with a very sincere apology from Julie to all UK citizens);And dating red flags, like saying 'réfrigérateur' with a straight face. From terraced vineyards and seaside aromas to artistic havens like Saint-Paul de Vence (plus an epic wine quiz and le 'bêtisier' at the end!), this episode is a warm return and a playful wrap to Season 1. Wines featured from Domaine Bunan :Château La Rouvière rouge 2013A rich, structured Bordeaux blend with Mourvèdre, known for aging beautifully. Moulin des Costes Bandol rosé 2019Lovely salmon colour, dry, and complex with herbal notes thanks to Mourvèdre. Recommended producers from Bandol:Domaine Tempier Domaine de la Bégude Domaine de l'Olivette Domaine de la Bastide Blanche For Melton Mowbray pork pies,, you can visit your local Sainsbury. ;) Hosted on Acast.

Natalie and Vinny Cilurzo discuss the We Love LA wildfire relief collab beer, with Leah Scurto from PizzaLeah who is sitting in for Herlinda Heras on Brew Ha Ha with Steve Jaxon today. Andy Link will also join us on the phone from Common Space Brewery in Los Angeles. Herlinda Calling from England First, Herlinda Heras calls in from England where it is 1:00 in the morning. Herlinda was on this episode last year about the 2024 edition. She is there for her eleventh year judging the British Pie Awards in Melton Mowbray, about a four-hour train ride north of London. There are 26 categories of pies and all but one are savory pies like fish pie, steak and kidney pie, cold pork pie and many more. This year there 879 pies and 167 judges. Herlinda was the only American judge and she even got an interview on the BBC. They judge in an 800-year-old former church. The English tradition of savory pies extends even to football, rugby and cricket clubs, which have their own team pies. As we would get a hot dog and a beer at a baseball game, they will get a hand pie and a beer for their day at the stadium or grounds. Russian River Brewing Co. is open in Santa Rosa on 4th St. and at their big Windsor location. Visit their website for up-to-date hours, menus, beers and more. Herlinda judged the steak and ale category which alone had 67 pies. There is even a gluten-free pie and a vegan pie. Shepherd's pie is different, that has mashed potatoes on it. These pies have to have a full crust on top and bottom. Appearance is important so the pies are decorated on top. The first thing they look for is a soggy bottom, which is a quick DQ.

David Gulley FWCF  On the 2nd of May 2024 we received the sad news of the passing of David Gulley FWCF.Born on the 4th of August 1939 in Plymouth Devon, David grew up with an obsession for horses, his mother once telling him of his fascination of the Shire horses working in the streets Plymouth. When David reached the age of 15 due to the lack of farriery apprenticeships being available due to mechanisation, David took on a 4-year apprenticeship in Blacksmithing and Engineering. On completion of his apprenticeship in 1960 he was called up for National Service into the British Army. As he signed up, he asked about the possibility of being an Army Farrier, of which the ill-informed Army recruiting Sergeant replied, “there was not such a thing anymore”. David then opted to become a Driver. Whilst in basic training Davids unit was visited by a recruiting officer from the Royal Army Veterinary Corps (RAVC), looking for recruits. David asked the officer did they have Farriers? The officer replied “yes”. At that point David told the officer that if he could transfer to the forge, he would instantly sign up for 22 years' service, the maximum engagement you can sign up for. In late 1960 David moved to Melton Mowbray and started working at the Remount Depot, now known as the Defence Animal Training Regiment, and started his life as an Army Farrier Apprentice at the old Army School of Farriery (ASF). Coincidently David joined the school 1 day after another farriery legend and lifelong friend David “Slim” Symons FWCF (hons). David was lucky enough to be taken under the wing of Jock Green a very well-regarded Army farrier instructor who pushed David to excel through hard work and determination. David managed to achieve the uncompressible feat of becoming a B1 Army farriery instructor and the rank of full Corporal in under 2 years.After 9 years of being based at the ASF teaching and competing David took the decision to leave the army and set up his own business. These were the days pre regulation, which would not become an act of parliament for a few years. At the time there was a lack of good farriers in the Leicestershire area servicing the fledgling equine leisure industry, with many untrained farriers cold shoeing applying shoes poorly. David was lucky enough to get the opportunity to repurpose a disused cattle shed into a forge, which is where he remained for the rest of his life in Thorpe Satchville, Leicestershire with his partner Judy. It wasn't long before David had built a busy business and the requirement for more manpower, so started his long list of successful apprentices. The first of which was Andrew Speck RSS, which went on to include the likes of Cecil Swan, Gary Darlow, Kevin Green, Joe Bryan and Andrew James. He went on to train 24 apprentices in total and was always proud of the achievements of all he trained and had said countless times that his proudest achievement was training his own son Micheal. On retirement he was presented a “Family Tree”, by some of his ex-apprentices, starting with David, his apprentices, their apprentices and so on. To this date there are 5 generations of farriers with lineage back to David, over time this will grow and will remain one of Davids Legacies.  After leaving the Army David's involvement with the National Association of Farriers, Blacksmiths and Agricultural Engineers (now known as BFBA) began. Joining his local branch, Leicestershire, David became an active member and very quickly rising to the position of chairman. With the registration act looming on the horizon, David was proactive in putting on training and testing for farriers in the area to achieve their Registered Shoeing Smiths (RSS) exams. In Davids own words this was all about trying to make farriers better. David always held horse welfare as the most important part of farriery.He went on to sit t

"I am again and again drawn to markets. I regularly seek them out in both new, and familiar places. They are at the same time, unique to a particular place, time, climate and season, but there's always something familiar about them too, carried across one to another. The way people behave, the look of the stalls, the movement, the crowds, the products, the atmosphere. The freeforming flow of bodies, sounds, language, and work. They are each, one-off temporary spaces and provide a little snapshop of a place and time, much like a photograph, but for all the senses.  "Living in a new place, I was drawn to the markets of Berlin, on the Maybach Ufer, as well as elsewhere and they reminded me of parallel markets of former homes and visited places including Melton Mowbray, Leicester, Newcastle, Manchester, Marakkesh, Mexico City... With this piece I tried not to alter the field recording much, I just added a bit of EQ and a little bit of effects on three parts. I wanted to have the market set the backdrop to the vibe of the piece, to capture the liveliness, friendly disorder, and energy of the place. I then built sounds around the recording, and added some simple melodic phrases and percussive elements."  Rotterdam market reimagined by Suzi Lamb.

A creamery which has been producing Stilton since 1780 is due to close its doors with the loss of 60 jobs. Tuxford and Tebbutt in Melton Mowbray is owned by the farmer co-operative Arla, which has been trying to sell the creamery as a going concern. They've blamed the closure on what they say is a decline in the speciality cheese market. Dairy industry analyst Chris Walkland explains what's happened. There's been some debate about whether this wet spring has had an effect on the bee population. Ian Campbell is a spokesperson for the British Bee Keepers Association. He says this has been a challenging year for honey bees. A farmer who switched from intensive cereal production to wildflower meadows, and open access to walkers, says the farm is now just as profitable as when he was feeding people. Chris Skinner runs High Ash Farm just outside Norwich. He says even though he's not producing food, he feels he's still giving people a valuable benefit...and many visitors are happy to donate to support his wildlife work. Anna Hill joined him for a walk in the meadows. Scottish raspberries are famed for their flavour and quality...But disease, labour costs and supermarket prices mean the industry is taking a beating, with some growers pulling out or cutting production. Now the James Hutton Institute is developing varieties and growing techniques which can solve at least some of these problems. Richard Baynes has been to Invergowrie on Tayside to find out more.

Mark Stevens' story begins in the quaint town of Melton Mowbray, known for its pork pies and Stilton cheese, but today, it's also becoming known for Mark1 IT Solutions. Mark's journey is a testament to the challenges and triumphs faced by many in the MSP sector. Joining us on the podcast, Mark openly shares the hurdles he encountered when transitioning from a traditional break-fix IT support mentality to a managed services provider (MSP) model, a shift that required significant changes in both mindset and operations.  During our discussion, Mark Stevens candidly discusses how his business, which he had been leading for about seven years, had only recently begun to identify as an MSP. This shift came with its own set of challenges, particularly as the business approached the COVID-19 pandemic. The pandemic initially brought a surge in demand for Mark1 IT Solutions' services as businesses scrambled to set up remote work capabilities. However, the reliance on project-based income soon proved unstable, leading Mark to seek external guidance and support.  What makes Mark Stevens' story so impactful is his openness about the personal and professional growth necessary to navigate his business through turbulent times. He shares that a major turning point came when he engaged with various communities and resources, such as CompTIA and Tech Tribe, and eventually our MSP growth hub. This engagement not only broadened his perspective but also embedded him deeper into the MSP community, facilitating a collaborative and supportive environment that was crucial for his development.  Mark's journey is filled with learning experiences, from understanding the importance of monthly recurring revenue to embracing the MSP model fully. He explains how adopting new operational frameworks and focusing on self-development, including insights gained from reading "The Chimp Paradox," helped him reshape his approach to business management. This reshaping was not just about business strategies but also about personal growth, tackling challenges like ego and imposter syndrome that many business owners face.  A significant part of our conversation highlights the value of reaching out for help and how this has been instrumental in Mark Stevens' success. He emphasises the importance of getting out of your own way, a phrase that resonated with him deeply and one that he credits for much of his recent business achievements. This concept of self-awareness and stepping back to allow professional support to guide his decisions has led to substantial improvements in both the operational efficiency and profitability of Mark1 IT Solutions.  Today, Mark1 IT Solutions is not only surviving but thriving, with plans to expand the team further and reach new heights in terms of revenue and service quality. Mark Stevens attributes much of this success to the support structures and networks he has embraced, underscoring the importance of community and expert guidance in the MSP industry.  For any MSPs out there feeling stuck or unsure of the next steps, Mark Stevens' story is a powerful reminder of the strength found in vulnerability and the success that comes from seeking help. His journey is a clear illustration of how transformative it can be to get out of your own way and allow structured, expert guidance to lead the way in scaling your business.  Connect on LinkedIn HERE with Ian and also with Stuart by clicking this LINK  And when you're ready to take the next step in growing your MSP, come and take the Scale with Confidence MSP Mastery Quiz.

Carolyn in Bracknell and Kate in Melton Mowbray did...but how did they get on?

As a company that has continually evolved over the last 40 years to become a leading global force in composite and GRP development and manufacturing, KS Composites is at the very cutting edge of innovation. KS Composites pushes the boundaries in the motorsport, marine, energy, rail, aviation and defence sectors and the Melton Mowbray company relies upon the expertise of the cutting tool experts at Industrial Tooling Corporation (ITC) to deliver results.  Operating out of a 48,000sq/ft manufacturing facility that accommodates more than hundred staff, KS Composites services and facilities include everything from design and manufacture to FEA, CFD, kit cutting, wet clay composite shop, autoclaves and ovens, fitting and assembly and a modern machine shop. Some of the company's recognised clients and projects include the Jaguar Project 8, Revolution Racecars and a multitude of prestigious F1 projects.  KS Composites has a longstanding relationship with Tamworth-based ITC, Dan Johnston, Business Development Manager at KS Composites alludes to why the company continues its relationship with ITC: “We use ITC cutting tools due to the great working relationship we have with the team and the longstanding great service we receive. Whether discussing new advancements in tooling technology or looking at building up a package of tools to support a project, ITC has always given us great advice. Even better is the on-site support in running tooling trials to confirm that tooling works as stated.” Looking at the cutting tools KS Composites use, Dan continues: “We use a large variety of ITC tools from face mills, endmills, bullnose, ball nose endmills, drills and taps amongst other niche tooling. This variety of tooling is needed to support the many different items we machine, including but not limited to patterns, moulds, jigs, components, inserts, props and models. Add into this mix that we machine an array of materials and it is very clear that we need a tooling supplier with a huge variety of options. We also have an onsite vending solution from ITC with a comprehensive stock level that ITC keep fully serviced to support our business.” Looking at the cost savings derived from the ITC range of cutting tools, Dan Johnston adds: “When we conducted a full cost analysis of our tooling and the total material removed, it's clearly evident that the ITC tooling is great value for money. We have managed to control costs over the years and ITC has helped to improve efficiencies whilst enabling our business to embrace the very latest tooling technology for composite machining.” “On more than one occasion, ITC has gone above and beyond to give full technical support in the implementation of new tooling, applications and machining strategies. When presented with a new material which we had very little knowledge of, ITC built a bespoke suite of tooling and trials to support our ambitions to effectively and efficiently machine the new material. The results have proven extremely encouraging and this certainly went a long way in building our confidence in working with that particular material.” In conclusion, Dan says: “We naturally demand the highest quality and this applies to all aspects of the business. The CNC department can maintain and iteratively improve by leveraging ITC's knowledge and vast array of tooling. Operating with a number of OEMs in a wide variety of sectors such as the automotive, aerospace, motorsport and marine industries to name a few, being adaptable to challenges is key. With the full support of ITC, we know we can attack any challenge and material with absolute confidence.”

On this week's episode, Martin and Eleanor head to Leicestershire, the county where Richard III died at Bosworth Field.After a chat about New Year's Day traditions and superstitions, they leap into the history and folklore of Leicestershire - from Simon de Montfort and Melton Mowbray pork pies to Belvoir Castle, Ashby de la Zouch, and Kirby Muxloe, as well as the Humberstone, further adventures of Bel the giant, ghost suffragettes, and more besides.

Brain Drain Episode 11 with Forde Brookfield & Toby Batchelor

Why do bats suddenly appearEvery time you are near?Poor old Lucy! Always wanting to leave the windows open and somewhat averse to the garlic baguette that Van Helsing brandishes before her pallid fizzog. She's arguably, in the words of 1950s magistrates, asking for it, fang-wise. But she's certainly a fighter and submits to her arduous toilet twice daily, administered by her maid, whose name, of course, is never revealed.Bram Stoker purists will be relieved to know that Banana Nesquik does not get a mention this week. But just like supermarket home delivery there's always a disappointing ‘substitution' in the shape of a Melton Mowbray mini.I hope this week's episode will spawn many comments be they harsh or otherwise.Thanks for listening.And remember, try to grow your own garlic for wreaths and garlands, as importing them from Holland will make the maps go redder.

I am delighted to welcome to the podcast Lara and Combie from Round Corner Brewing based in Melton Mowbray.

We celebrate episode 150 of the Hop Forward Podcast by travelling to England's Rural Capital of Food to visit Round Corner Brewing.  Situated in the market town of Melton Mowbray, famous for the pork pie, co-founder of the brewery Combie Cryan joins us to answer the question that many brewing businesses may be asking during the current economic crisis: what does it take to run a brewery in 2022?Over a delightful Baltic Porter, we try to answer that question, while also looking back at the brewery's journey thus far to celebrate the successes and consider the challenges that have presented themselves to their business in particular.Additionally, Andrew Paterson from Lallelmand joins the show to talk about their latest hybrid-lager strain, Lalbrew NovaLager yeast.  LalBrew NovaLager™ is a true bottom-fermenting Saccharomyces pastorianus hybrid (non-GMO), selected to produce clean lager-style beers with the optimal fermentation performance of ale yeast.Also, be sure to check out our good friends at Great Beyond Brewing Co in Hoxton, London, who are launching their brewery and taproom this weekend.THIS WEEK'S EPISODE OF THE PODCAST IS SPONSORED BY:Lallemand BrewingLalBrew NovaLager™ is an innovative new hybrid lager yeast from Lallemand brewing. Belonging to the newly created Group 3 lager yeast category, Novalager exhibits increased temperature tolerance for faster and more forgiving fermentations.Produced using a non-GMO yeast breeding technique, Lalbrew Novalager incorporates a patented technology, which prevents the creation of hydrogen sulphide which can lead to sulphureous off flavours in the final beer.

In this episode, Clockwise looks at the commonly held belief that young people aren't that great with money. Is this true, is it a stereotype or somewhere in between? Are young people worse with money than adults were back in the day? Should we teach them everything we know or just leave them to it? Or maybe... just as younger people have plenty to teach us about things like technology, should we be adapting our financial World to suit them? Joining us to consider and discuss this subject is Mark Frisby from Access All Areas in Melton Mowbray, Leicestershire. Mark has many years experience supporting and mentoring teens and young adults and he brings his wealth of knowledge, and a few opinions to the discussion. FULL DISCLOSURE: (Neither Mark or Joe are especially young anymore!)

The boys talk to Combie from Round Corner Brewery in Melton Mowbray about the brewery, life in Melton Mowbray and his fascinating global beer journey

Hello and welcome to the Get More Customers podcast with me Michael Angrave. I’ve got an excellent episode for you today, as I’m joined by our very own Charlotte Broomfield. Whilst Charlotte keeps things organised here at Go Websites HQ with her sterling day-to-day work, in her spare time she’s a member of The Melton Musical Theatre Company. Charlotte is a chorus singer for the company, who remarkably, have reached their 100th year of existence, and have put on 200 different shows during this time. The company have entertained the people of Melton Mowbray in Leicestershire including the former local aristocracies and even some prestigious members of the Royal family. In order to mark this huge milestone celebration, they’ve created a bespoke production to contain songs and performances from many of the shows they’ve previously performed.  Now it’s this current project which is the focus of our conversation as they’ve been thrown a couple of curve balls, which have meant they’ve not been able to market this show in the usual way and have had to think on their feet to ensure ticket sales reach the required levels. There’s some valuable concepts we talk about here, particularly, how to use what you have available in order to create a unique selling proposition from the perspective of your customer. We also look for interesting ways in which they can quickly grow their list of people to which they can advertise future shows and productions. There’s lots of useful ideas in this one, I know you’re going to enjoy it. Here’s Charlotte to tell you more... www.gowebsites.co.uk

A challenge to pray bigger, bolder prayers. Rev Dr Nick Ashton before training as a Baptist Minister studied as a medical microbiologist at the University of Surrey, Guildford. In the mid 90s he started to work at Guildford Baptist Church and was part of the leadership of one of its church plants. During this time he began to explore his call to Baptist ministry. In 1997 he studied theology, church planting and evangelism at Spurgeon’s College, London, and part-way through the course became the student minister at Cove Baptist Church, Farnborough, Hampshire. After completing Spurgeon’s, he embarked on a Master of Theology degree, via London School of Theology, exploring issues of conversion in introductory faith courses, whilst continuing as the full-time minister at Cove. In September 2005 he moved to Melton Mowbray after accepting an invitation to be the minister there. In 2015, Nick completed, and was awarded, a Doctor of Philosophy degree, again via London School of Theology, exploring Baptist theology and ecclesiology in contemporary culture. He is passionate about the church rediscovering who it is and what it is for. After 13 years of ministry at Melton Mowbray, in September 2018, Nick joined the East Midland Baptist Association as a Regional Minister.

Richard and Aasmah are joined by Dame Stephanie Shirley who arrived in the UK aged 5 as a refugee on the Kindertransport. She became a ground breaking IT entrepreneur who has since become a philanthropist and given over £60 million away. Her son inspired her to set up a school for children with Autism, and fund vital research. We also have Duff McKagan who joined Guns N' Roses as bass player aged 19 but only just survived the rock 'n' roll lifestyle. He battled addiction by taking up martial arts and studied accountancy, writing books and his own music as well as touring again with the band. and Libby Page, who enjoyed water as a child but had become fearful of donning a swimsuit in her teens. She finally faced her fears and learnt to swim in her 20s and has discovered the meditative and therapeutic benefits of swimming, in particular, outdoors and it helped her get a publishing deal. and Paul Jacobs, a listener whose wife got in touch with us. A PE teacher in the same school for 29 years, he was voted Melton Mowbray’s sports personality of year 2016, and uses sport to inspire young people. We heard how he would “run a marathon, drive home and do the ironing”, so we had to meet him. TV presenter June Sarpong gives us her inheritance tracks which are Superwoman by Stevie Wonder and Love Train performed by The O'Jays. Producer: Corinna Jones Editor: Beverley Purcell

v28 #3 ATG Special Report — Industry Consolidation in the Information Services and Library Environment: Perspectives from Thought Leaders by David Parker On today’s episode, we will hear from three of the people most responsible for all the great content you have come to expect from the Against The Grain journal. They are Katina Strauch, Tom Gilson and Leah Hinds. Once again, in what will become a regular weekly feature of the podcast, we hear rumors and announcements from Katina. Then we hear excerpts from the article by David Parker on Industry Consolidation in the Information Services and Library Environment. Consolidation Report Part 1 Consolidation Report Part 2 The original plan was to get everyone together to record this week’s podcast, but mother nature had her way and sent several rounds of thunderstorms through our area. As a result, Leah Hinds lost power and was under a tornado warning and couldn’t join us. But being the trooper she is, when things came back up, she recorded her portion of the podcast. If you recall back on episode sixteen of the Against The Grain Podcast, Leah mentioned that she lives in a rural area with goats, chickens and rabbits. Well, if you pay close attention to Leah’s comments, you can hear Brewster the rooster chime in from time to time along with thunder in the background.
