Natalie Roukin and Jenna Stopforth have never chased awards. Their priority was to make every client feel special, and the trophies followed. The founders of By Two Studio, an award-winning St Albans-based interior design business, share how they built a business founded on customer service, having met while training as interior designers.  They also explain how getting involved right at the architect and builder stage leads to better results. To that end, Natalie and Jenna discuss the technology they use to bring designs to life, the importance of understanding how a family actually lives before decorating, and why they work with a coach to keep improving their customer journey. They also touch on current design trends, the emotional side of transforming people's homes, and their exciting plans to open a second studio in Spain within the next few years. About Natalie and Jenna Natalie Roukin and Jenna Stopforth are the friends and business partners behind By Two Studio, brought together by a shared love of interiors over thirteen years ago when they left established careers to retrain in interior design. Natalie came from a background as an Executive PA and Jenna from advertising, and they quickly discovered a shared belief that great design is about far more than how a home looks, it is about how it makes people feel and live. After working together through Natalie Roukin Interiors, they launched By Two Studio, a residential design studio specialising in full home renovations and new builds across Hertfordshire, Buckinghamshire and North London. Customer experience remains central, reflected in their Silver win in the Customer Service category at the Best Businesswomen Awards 2025 and multiple Best of Houzz Customer Service Awards.   {2:40} How Natalie got into interior design. {3:20} How the tqo partners met. {3:44} The roots of Jenna's passion for interior design. {4:21} Choosing the name 'By Two Studio'. {5:03} Who does what in the business? {5:59} Growing the client base. {7:08} Navigating wild client ideas. {8:25} Using technology to enhance customer experience. {9:53} Incorporating awards into the marketing process. {12:58} How interior design can influence architectural design. {15:07} Jenna's favourite project. {16:34} Natalie's thoughts on Grand Designs and other property shows. {17:56} Why exceptional customer service is so important to Natalie and Jenna. {19:10} The benefits of working with a coach. {20:52} The misconceptions about interior design. {24:30} The satisfaction in transforming people's homes. {26:25} Workspaces morphing into home spaces. {26:55} What's on trend in design at the moment? {29:27} By Two Studio's future growth plans.     Connect with Debbie at: https://thebusinessawardsshow.co.uk                                         https://bestsmeawards.co.uk/                                        Connect with By Two Studio:  https://bytwostudio.com/ LinkedIn:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/bytwostudio/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/bytwostudio/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/by.two.studio/  Pinterest: https://uk.pinterest.com/bytwostudiolimited/  Houzz: https://www.houzz.co.uk/hznb/professionals/interior-designers/by-two-studio-pfvwus-pf~973886982

It's now just three weeks until the first Work in Progress session of my autumn MasterClass tour, in St Albans. Newcastle is completely sold out. Birmingham and Bristol sold out too, so we've secured bigger rooms in both venues, and even those are already over eighty percent full. Southampton and Edinburgh are filling up fast, and there's still plenty of room in Cardiff, Leeds and Manchester. I've also added a third London date, and if you can't make it to your nearest city, there's a live virtual MasterClass on 13 October. All the details are at danielbarnett.com/masterclassAway from work, this week I've seen Cats at the Regent's Park Open Air Theatre, which is far superior to the many disappointing productions you may have endured over the years, and certainly to the film. I also saw Death Note The Musical at the Barbican, based on the manga about a notebook dropped to earth by the gods, which gives the man who finds it the power to kill anyone whose name he writes in it. I loved it far more than I expected to. It's pretty much sold out, but I'd put money on a West End run within the next year or two.The Employment Rights Act UpdateThe biggest development this week concerns zero hours contracts, and I'll keep it short because the message is simple. On Wednesday, the Government added more than three hundred pages of new material to its zero hours consultation: options assessments on guaranteed hours, reasonable notice of shifts and short-notice cancellation payments, plus two research papers. The consultation closes at midnight on 25 August, ten days after I'm recording this. So if you want to influence the most operationally complicated part of the whole Act, this is your last chance. The detail that jumped out at me is confirmation that agency workers will get broadly the same rights as directly engaged staff. And here's what employers are most likely to get wrong: assuming this doesn't apply to them because they don't use zero hours contracts. The regime will catch low hours workers too, with the qualifying threshold anywhere between eight and forty-eight hours a week still up for grabs, and it reaches agency arrangements. If you use casual, bank or agency staff, audit those arrangements now, and get a consultation response in before the deadline.Second, the Fair Work Agency published its first delivery plan on Monday, covering 2026 to 2027. Nothing in it creates a new legal obligation, but it tells you where enforcement is heading. The Agency's first-year priorities include building its intelligence and data capability, and, according to early reports, developing digital compliance tools: a payslip explainer, a holiday pay calculator, and possibly a smartphone app letting workers check their payslips. National Minimum Wage officers transfer from HMRC into the Agency in April 2027, and holiday pay enforcement is expected to begin in 2027. Here's the practical point. The duty to keep six years of holiday records has been in force since April. When holiday pay enforcement starts, those records are the first thing an inspector will ask for, so if yours are patchy, fix that now rather than in 2027.And a quick diary note: from a week on Tuesday, 25 August, trade unions can run electronic and workplace ballots for statutory ballots, including industrial action ballots, where the relevant parties agree.On commentary, two pieces worth your time this week. Lewis Silkin's note on the Supreme Court's part-time workers decision, which we'll come to in a moment, makes the key practical point crisply: the battleground now shifts from causation to objective justification. And Personnel Today has a useful analysis of what the new zero hours options assessments mean for agency workers, and for the businesses that hire them.Employment Law Case of the WeekThis week it's Augustine v Data Cars in the Supreme Court. Mr Augustine was a part-time private hire driver averaging around thirty-five hours a week, while his chosen comparator worked full time, averaging over ninety. Data Cars charged every driver the same fixed weekly fee for access to its booking system, whatever their hours, so Mr Augustine paid more per hour to drive than his comparator did.The Supreme Court allowed his appeal, holding that a worker's part-time status need only be an effective cause of less favourable treatment; it does not have to be the sole cause. The Government deliberately chose not to copy the stricter wording of the European framework, which protected workers treated less favourably solely because they work part time, and it had the power to go further. The existence of other causes may be relevant to justification or to compensation, but it doesn't stop the right arising.My take: this is an important decision, because it's the Supreme Court settling years of conflicting authority. But it's a technical causation point, and for ninety percent of you listening, it will never make a practical difference. The lesson, if you do treat part-timers differently for any reason, is that your defence now lives or dies on objective justification.Zero hours consultation (documents added 12 August; closes 25 August 2026): https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/make-work-pay-ending-one-sided-flexibility-reforms-of-zero-hours-and-similar-contractsFair Work Agency delivery plan 2026 to 2027 (published 10 August 2026, confirmed via DBT publications page): https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/department-for-business-innovation-science-and-tradeAugustine v Data Cars judgment: https://supremecourt.uk/uploads/uksc_2025_0122_judgment_f8eb0f1fbd.pdfLewis Silkin, “Supreme Court rules on part-time discrimination” (13 August): https://www.lewissilkin.com/insights/2026/08/13/supreme-court-rules-on-part-time-discriminationPersonnel Today, “Agency workers' inclusion in zero hours reform adds to state of flux”: https://www.personneltoday.com/hr/agency-workers-inclusion-in-zero-hours-reform-adds-to-state-of-flux/

He was a soldier in the Roman army and, according to the venerable Bede, was brought to faith in Christ by a fugitive priest to whom he gave shelter. The saint exchanged clothes with the priest, allowing him to escape and ensuring his own martyrdom. Some writers, including St Bede, place his martyrdom during the reign of Diocletian (286-303).   Saint Alban's tomb was venerated as early as 429 by St Germanus of Auxerre. The town of Verulamium is either his home town or the place of his martyrdom; near it a monastery was founded, around which grew the English town of St Albans.

Ask me a QMy guest today is Donna Nichol, from Chloe James Lifestyle who started her career in fashion buying and gave into her urge to open an independent store of her own 16 years in the place I call home: St Albans.Earlier this year Donna took a month out of her business to go travelling with her husband and when I saw her photos on Instagram and just how happy the break had made her I thought I need to get her on the podcast to show other business leaders whether in corporate life or running small businesses that they can do this too.I wholeheartedly believe – and research bears it out – that top performers know how to rest and sometimes an extended period of rest or change of scene such as a sabbatical or extra long holiday is exactly what we need to stay fresh and energised about leading in business.RESOURCES & REFERENCES MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODERaising & Rising Leadership Career Retreat for Mothers.Chloe James (Donna's business)Chloe James instagramJessica's e-mail: jc@talentkeepers.co.ukMORE FOR YOUDM Jessica on instagram @comebackcommukGet Jessica's FREE fortnightly note, Pivotal.Watch our coaching Success Stories. Take our new FREE Career Fuel diagnostic - and get a personalised free report.Read Mothers Work!

Kings were overthrown, noble families destroyed, princes vanished, and England descended into decades of civil war. In this Beginner's Guide to the Wars of the Roses, I explore the dynastic conflict between the rival houses of Lancaster and York, a struggle that would bring down the Plantagenets and pave the way for the Tudor dynasty. From the weak reign of Henry VI and the rise of Richard, Duke of York, to the battles of St Albans, Towton, Barnet, and Tewkesbury, this video untangles the complex family rivalries, political tensions, betrayals, and battles that shaped fifteenth-century England. We'll also explore: - Henry VI and Margaret of Anjou - Richard Neville “the Kingmaker” - Edward IV and the Woodvilles - The Princes in the Tower - Richard III's rise to power - Henry Tudor's claim to the throne Whether you're completely new to the Wars of the Roses or looking for a clear overview before diving deeper into Tudor history, my hope is that this guide will help you understand one of the most dramatic periods in English history. #WarsoftheRoses #RichardIII #HenryVI #EdwardIV #TudorHistory #Plantagenets #HistoryDocumentary

fWotD Episode 3246: Loveday (1458) Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia's finest articles.The featured article for Wednesday, 25 March 2026, is Loveday (1458).The Loveday of 1458 (also known as the Annunciation Loveday) was a ritualistic reconciliation between warring factions of the English nobility that took place at St Paul's Cathedral on 25 March 1458. Following the outbreak of the Wars of the Roses in 1455, it was the culmination of lengthy negotiations initiated by King Henry VI to resolve the lords' rivalries. English politics had become increasingly factional during his reign, and was exacerbated in 1453 when he became catatonic. This effectively left the government leaderless, and eventually the king's cousin, and at the time heir to the throne, Richard, Duke of York, was appointed protector during the king's illness. Alongside York were his allies from the politically and militarily powerful Neville family, led by Richard, Earl of Salisbury, and his eldest son, Richard, Earl of Warwick. When the king returned to health a year later, the protectorship ended but partisanship within the government did not.Supporters of King Henry and his wife, Queen Margaret, have been loosely called "Lancastrians", the king being head of the House of Lancaster, while the duke and his party are considered "Yorkists", after his title of Duke of York. By the 1450s, York felt increasingly excluded from government, and in May 1455—possibly fearing an ambush by his enemies—led an army against the King at the First Battle of St Albans. There, in what has been called more of a series of assassinations than a battle, the personal enemies of York and the Nevilles—the Duke of Somerset, the Earl of Northumberland, and Lord Clifford—perished.In 1458 the king attempted to unite his feuding nobles with a public display of friendship under the auspices of the Church at St Paul's Cathedral. Following much discussion and negotiation, and amid the presence of large, armed, noble retinues which almost led to another outbreak of war, a compromise was announced. To celebrate, a procession was held by all the major participants, who walked hand-in-hand from Westminster Palace to the cathedral. Queen Margaret was partnered with York, and other adversaries were paired off accordingly, and the sons of the dead Lancastrian lords took their fathers' places. Certain reparations were ordained, all by the Yorkist lords, who for their part accepted full responsibility for the Battle of St Albans. They were ordered to make payments to the dead lords' widows and sons, and masses were paid for the souls of all who had died. Contemporaries varied in their views of the accord. Some wrote verses expressing hope that it would lead to a new-found peace and prosperity; others were more pessimistic as to its value.In the long run, the king's Loveday and its agreements had no long-lasting benefit. Within a few months, petty violence between the lords had broken out again and, within the year, York and Lancaster faced each other at the Battle of Blore Heath. Historians debate who—if anyone—gained from the 1458 Loveday. On the one hand, the crown publicised its role as the ultimate court of appeal but, conversely, although the Yorkists were bound to pay large sums in compensation, this was done with money already owed by the government. Fundamentally, factional discord was highlighted on the public stage, and the war it was intended to prevent was only deferred.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:15 UTC on Wednesday, 25 March 2026.For the full current version of the article, see Loveday (1458) on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Bluesky at @wikioftheday.com.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm generative Joanna.

Royal favourites, we want your voice notes in our new miniseries on historical failures. Look out for Producer Al's callout post on patreon.com/thisishistory.  It's there where you can listen to this week's bonus episode, where Dan gives you a primer on the pirate-cum-warlord, the Earl of Warwick. Plus, Dan makes good on his promise to tell the story of when he absolutely lost it over something rather inconsequential.  All the drift and failure of Henry VI's reign is coming home to roost. The fizzer of a king's dodging arrows and men coming his way — and they're not holding back.  It's 1455, and in the old Roman town of St Albans, the royal court are met with a battle. Richard, Duke of York — along with the Nevilles — are leading an insurgency that wants to topple the Queen's favourite, Edmund, Duke of Somerset.  Amid all the fracas, the king tries to intervene. He dabbles in kindergarten-level peace making by literally making his warring nobles hold hands.  The loveday beckons.  – A Sony Music Entertainment production.  Find more great podcasts from Sony Music Entertainment at sonymusic.com/podcasts  To bring your brand to life in this podcast, email podcastadsales@sonymusic.com  Learn more about your ad choices.  Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices  – Written and presented by Dan Jones Producer - Alan Weedon Senior Producer - Dominic Tyerman Executive Producer - Simon Poole  Production Manager - Jen Mistri  Production coordinator - Eric Ryan  Mixing - Amber Devereux Head of content - Chris Skinner Learn more about your ad choices.

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! PART TWOSt. Albans Sanatorium is one of those places where the walls seem to hold their breath. Long before it became known for its hauntings, it was a boys' school infamous for harsh hazing and unchecked cruelty—experiences that left their mark on the young men who lived there. The building later shifted into a psychiatric facility, collecting even more layers of trauma, fear, and loss.Today, investigators describe St. Albans as a place that doesn't just feel haunted… it feels occupied. The hallways carry a weight, as if watching to see who walks them. Rooms grow unnervingly quiet. Shadows linger longer than they should.

Share a commentWhat if the church's most enduring hymns were penned in the grip of despair? We trace the life of William Cowper—bereaved son, bullied boy, failed barrister, relentless sufferer—and watch mercy thread through a story that could have ended many times. A Bible left open to Romans 3 meets him at St Albans. Tears, relief, and faith rise, but the darkness doesn't vanish. Instead, grace teaches Cowper to walk with it, write through it, and hand the church language for seasons when the soul feels starless.We unpack five hard-won principles: frailty isn't proof of God's rejection; friends can't erase battles but can share them; suffering may not end ministry but can enlarge it; creation can't replace Scripture but can steady your mind; and faith won't always remove pain, yet it will lead you through it. Along the way, John Newton steps in like a field guide—assigning visits, urging craft, and pairing Cowper's 68 poems with his own 200 to create the Olney hymns. Out of breakdowns come lines like “God moves in a mysterious way,” and the blood-bought hope of “There Is a Fountain,” where guilt finally meets its match.This is a candid, compassionate conversation about mental health, Christian hope, and the strange arithmetic of providence. Expect biography with backbone, theology with pulse, and practical steps: serve someone, step outside, observe creation, seek counsel, cling to the gospel. If you've been told real faith never struggles, let Cowper's voice free you to lament and still believe. Press play, share with a friend who needs gentleness and grit, and if this helped you, subscribe, leave a review, and tell us which line you'll carry into the week._____Stephen's latest book, Legacies of Light, Volume 2, is our gift for your special donation to our ministry.

Dưới cái nắng vàng rực rỡ của mùa hè nước Úc, không khí Tết Việt vẫn bùng nổ đầy lôi cuốn tại St Albans, Melbourne. Hội chợ Tết Bính Ngọ 2026 không chỉ là không gian rộn ràng của tiếng trống hội và sắc hoa mai đào, mà còn là hành trình tìm về cội nguồn đầy xúc động. Từ những nét chữ thư pháp phượng múa rồng bay đến tiếng đọc truyện song ngữ vang vọng trong thư viện, tất cả đã dệt nên một bức tranh văn hóa đa sắc, nơi bản sắc dân tộc được gìn giữ vẹn nguyên giữa lòng thế giới.

Hội chợ Tết St Albans 2026, một trong những lễ hội Tết sớm nhất, quy mô và đông vui nhất của cộng đồng người Việt tại Victoria, sẽ chính thức diễn ra vào Chủ nhật ngày 18/1/2026, từ 10 giờ sáng đến 10 giờ tối, tại trung tâm St Albans.

Giữa cái nắng vàng óng ả của miền Tây Melbourne, một âm thanh "cộp cộp" giòn tan đang hồi sinh những tâm hồn xế chiều tại khu St Albans. Không còn là những ngày lặng lẽ bên chiếc điện thoại, hay không gian chật hẹp, chán ngắt của các bản tin thời sự, hay phim bộ dài tập, các bậc cao niên tại đây đã chọn cầm vợt, biến sân vườn thành "thánh đường" Pickleball đầy sức sống. Đây không chỉ là cuộc dạo chơi thể thao, mà là hành trình đánh đuổi cô đơn, kết nối tình bằng hữu và khẳng định bản lĩnh của những bước chân không còn mệt mỏi.

Welcome to Finding Nico (Formerly Known as Stupid Hearts Club)The podcast where you follow me, Nico Tatarowicz, trying to figure out who I am and what my purpose is going to be, now that the TV industry has melted like a snowman in a volcano. Taking my career with it.-------------------Hey my angelsSummer has well and truly gone but I still have a few weeks to go until I move into a rented room for the winter. Last week I decided to set off slowly from Brighton to Manchester. I stopped in London to see friends, then swung by St Albans where I stocked up on van snacks in the Iceland in The Range (classy). I decided to stop halfway, just outside Leicester for a pub scran and kipped in the carpark as the pub was on 'Search for Sites', an app that is super useful for vanlifers, caravan owners etc that shows you lots of places you can legally stay overnight. You simply check out the map and tap on the suggested campsites, laybys, pubs and caravan sites to see what they have to offer.I got in the poddy mood as I was on the road, had a little giggle at a sticky toilet floor and then chilled in Linda before bed which is where most of this ep is recorded.And as usual, I slept like a baby.Enjoy my musings.....Nico(actually Nicko not Neeco but its better for the pun innit)-------------------If you enjoy what I do and would like to help support all the time and effort I lovingly put into the show, then PLEASE consider becoming a paid subcriber to my Patreon!

The tale of London in the Wars of the Roses continues as we examine the aftermath of the Battle of St Albans and the fall of the second protectorate of York; Italian merchants sleeping with married English women (allegedly), the King trying to make every hug it out, violent law students, prison riots, and a new wave of pirates- all form the backdrop to one of the most extraordinary moments in the cities history; the amazing story of how, over one later winter and early spring, one mayor tried to keep hundreds, if not thousands, of heavily armed soldiers staying in London, from kicking the hell out of one another!

He was a soldier in the Roman army and, according to the venerable Bede, was brought to faith in Christ by a fugitive priest to whom he gave shelter. The saint exchanged clothes with the priest, allowing him to escape and ensuring his own martyrdom. Some writers, including St Bede, place his martyrdom during the reign of Diocletian (286-303).   Saint Alban's tomb was venerated as early as 429 by St Germanus of Auxerre. The town of Verulamium is either his home town or the place of his martyrdom; near it a monastery was founded, around which grew the English town of St Albans.

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! We travel down the eerie halls of St. Albans Sanatorium, a place where darkness seems to have taken up permanent residence. Once a boys' school where hazing was the norm, its early years were awash in restless adolescent energy and bad decisions.

While seasoned investigators caution that you can never be sure you'll capture any evidence, St. Albans has a reputation for rewarding those brave enough to try.
