Finite International Logistics are busy celebrating their first year of business in Penarth. With over 60 years’ experience in the logistics and warehousing industries, Steve Lerway and Rob Leering established themselves in Penarth in September 2012 and the business has gone from strength to strength.
As dental and facial aesthetics practitioners Smile Studio Penarth prepare to celebrate a decade in the business this month at local venue Hamptons, Practice Owner Dr Sarah Cuffin explains how different it could all have been if she’d followed her childhood dream of a career in music.
“I loved the violin and musical theatre as a child and later I actually spent some time in the States following that dream, but eventually music and drama became more of a hobby as I became more interested in dentistry.”
Sarah’s burgeoning dental career took her to London, Liverpool, Bath and Cardiff, working for employers such as Bupa, James Hull and Boots Dental Care before settling in at the Penarth practice. “I learned a lot and met a lovely crowd of people, particularly at Boots, and in fact many of them now work for me here at Smile Studio” says Sarah.
Sarah’s brief stint in the US left it’s mark though, providing her with inspiration that has remained to this day: “There was a phrase, a sort of motto that I picked up there, and that was ‘work hard, dream big, smile always and good things will happen’ - I’ve found it to be very true over the years.” Sarah’s formula for success has certainly worked well so far - she has been nominated for a Smile Award for the fourth year in a row
in 2013, and hopes to build on her previous success as a runner-up. “I’m absolutely over the moon about it” says Sarah. “It’s a huge honour just to be nominated for an award, as the competition is very tough.”
The journey from aspiring young musician to award winning dental practitioner (and busy working Mum) has not been without its challenges however, particularly in the recent economic climate: “it’s been a long haul with lots of ups and downs - the recession was a

huge learning curve that we all had to deal with, but I’m happy to say we’ve come out of it stronger than ever.”
But Sarah acknowledges that many small businesses have not fared as well. “We’re very proud to be a family-run business, particularly as it’s become more and more rare” says Sarah. “We’ve seen a number of local businesses disappearing because of the economic climate, which is always very sad. We’re currently looking at how we can take part in the Shop in Penarth (SIP) discount card scheme, as I think it’s in the interests of all the local businesses in Penarth to work together.”
Sarah attributes the practice’s success to one thing - her team. ”Without a doubt it’s down to the fantastic people here. I’m proud to say that many of them have been here longer than I have, including Huw who has been here over 20 years. The girls behind reception and most of the team that I brought over from Boots have remained with me for over 12 years, so we’re all very close.”
The practice has also benefited from keeping up with the latest technology and techniques, from moving to electronic records back in 2004 to installing state-of-the-art intra-oral cameras which allow patients to see the dentists at work. “We’re always looking to improve and provide a better service for our patients, whether it’s by introducing special offers or installing the latest equipment” explains Sarah.
Sarah and the team also find the time to be active in the local community and regularly take part in charity work. One cause that is especially close to the Smile Studio Team’s hearts is Motor Neurone Disease. “The previous dentist at
the practice, David Lennox, very sadly passed away from the illness” explains Sarah. “He was very well loved at the practice, and the team and I have done all sorts of things to raise money for Motor Neurone Disease charities, including climbing Snowdon.”
So after a decade of success, what’s next for the practice? The launch of the Refresh Skin Studio brand has opened up a whole new range of facial aesthetics services at the practice, from muscle relaxant treatments and dermal fillers to laser rejuvenation, but is there more on the horizon?
“Yes I do have some big plans for the future, but for the moment it’s probably Penarth’s best kept secret!” says Sarah. “All I can say for now is that we’re always aspiring to something bigger and better.”

GORGEOUS GLASS
The fused and stained glass studio in Penarth is run by Angelina Hall who’s created some fantastic festive delights which will make unique and treasured presents.
New creationsThis Christmas, Angelina is launching her range of slumped recycled glassware, turning wine, champagne and beer bottles into clocks, candle lamps and cheese serving platters.
She says: “It is very satisfying designing and creating a lovely item and knowing I am doing my bit for the environment.
“Much of the green glass we all recycle still goes to land� ll and it feels good to be able to use this and make something original with it.”
Angelina uses a special technique to create the glassware from bottles which are fl attened and then decorated with glass jewels and copper or silver wire to make extraordinary, one-off works of art.
Huge range of designsIn addition to her new range, whether you are looking for a bespoke stained glass window or a unique pair of earrings, Angelina designs and produces items that suit all tastes and budgets.
After completing a BA honours degree at Bristol in ceramics, Angelina developed her interest in glass and has been designing and working with the medium for more than 20 years.
She says: “Working with glass is inspiring. The range of textures and colours are incredibly exciting and I never tire of the endless possibilities.”
It’s party time!Angelina sells her jewellery and recycled ware through Glassware parties.
It is a great way to get together with friends and family for a fun evening.
If you fancy booking a party before Christmas to take a look at her wares, give her a ring.
She will also be out and about in the run-up to Christmas selling her designs at some local craft fayres.

Proper advice, personal to you
All mortgage brokers have to be quali� ed, and authorised by the Financial Conduct Authority.
When you approach a lender for details of mortgage products, they’ll give you information on their products alone. If you know exactly what you’re after, that’s � ne.
But if that’s not your situation, you may want to use the services of a quali� ed broker who can o� er you personal advice, a wider choice of products, and an objective comparison of deals from a variety of lenders.
Wide range of deals
A mortgage broker will research the market to � nd the right deal for you, and are able to search the products of a wide range of lenders.
They may be able to � nd you a better deal than you could have done

yourself, and will have access to lenders that don’t deal directly with the public.
Fast and e� cient service
Brokers have daily experience of working with mortgage lenders, so they know which are providing a quick service, and which are experiencing backlogs.
They’ll understand each lenders requirements and speci� c lending criteria, which will help the application go through as smoothly as possible, making sure you provide the correct documents upfront, and minimising the likelihood of your application being rejected.
Complex requirements
You may have certain requirements in relation to your mortgage e.g. you may have had a ‘blip’ in your credit � le. If your needs are out of the ordinary a broker could help you to access a deal that you wouldn’t be able to � nd on the high street.

SCOTT WROE
Hearing is the most precious of all our senses, if we lose this; we lose contact with the people we love and the world in general. Consider all the sounds you encounter everyday; friends chatting, or a favourite song, it’s these sounds that make life richer.
It is usually family and friends who notice a hearing loss fi rst. They might say ‘you’re not listening to me’ or be annoyed that the TV is too loud. The problem is not the condition itself but the fact that we do not recognise it.
One in seven people in the UK are deaf or hard of hearing. People get their eyes and teeth checked on a regular basis, so why not add ears to the list? It takes less than an hour to assess your hearing health - and the sooner a hearing loss is detected, the better.
Hearing is an easy thing to take for granted. But if you have a hearing loss everyday things are not as easy. Left untreated, a hearing loss can eff ect relationships and quality of life. If you are worried about your hearing, contact us for more information or to arrange a hearing consultation.

New Health Diagnosis Treatment for Penarth
Washington Pharmacy has teamed up with a Cardiff based medical software company at the University Hospital of Wales to off er the diagnosis of skin conditions over the internet. Patients can book a private appointment at the pharmacy for an initial consultation and assessment based on digitally recorded images of a patient’s skin complaint. Images recorded at the pharmacy are reviewed by a Consultant Dermatologist who prepares a diagnosis and treatment plan, and a prescription if appropriate, within 2 working days. This private service covers rashes, itches, moles, hives as well as hair and nail conditions.
Don’t forget your annual Flu Vaccination
Flu vaccinations at Washington Pharmacy were in such high demand last year that we’ve had to expand our service for this winter. This year we are providing free NHS fl u vaccinations to ‘at risk’ groups. The very popular walk in service is available throughout the day subject to availability, to all people that would like to protect themselves from infection and avoid lengthy waiting times. Don’t leave it too late since available vaccines are in demand yet again.

J a f l o n R e s t a u r a n tYour tastebuds are in for a treat if you choose to warm yourselves up this winter at Jafl on Restaurant. Our brilliant Bangladeshi dishes have been pleasing Penarth’s discerning diners for nine years now.
And we’re still striving to get better to give you a great night out. Come to our restaurant at 41 Albert Road. Or we’ll come to you - we do takeaways and also provide outside catering for special events.
Restaurant manager Jay says: “Our nine years in Penarth have been great. We are a little bit diff erent. We’re always trying to be innovative and we feel part of the community. Recently we introduced a Welsh lamb curry and that proved popular.
“We’re even getting second generation customers. As they get older, people who came when they were young, now bring their children with them, and the parents are still asking for the chocolate at the end of the meal.”
Spice of lifeWe pride ourselves on creating genuinely unique dishes. Why not try our Mirchwagon? It’s literally red hot. Beetroot, red chillis and tomatoes are teamed up with lamb, chicken, prawn or your vegetarian choice. A delight! Then there’s Hariyali - chicken baked in a marinade of spinach, mint and coriander puree, served in a superb sauce. It’s delicious.
RefurbishmentWe have recently expanded our kitchen and made improvements to our restaurant, which can cater for 48 customers. We have recently expanded the waiting area and refurbished the restaurant with added heating.
We come to youWe do takeaways - Jafl on can rustle up your favourite dish in a jiff y - with ten per cent off if you pick up the food. Call us on 02920 701133 / 02920 700380 for reservations, we do home delivery too
And we can bring our team of excellent chefs to you. Parties, weddings, fi nger food - we can provide it. All the way from Bangladesh (via Penarth, of course!).

Nannies on the Net has been providing families with au pairs since 2007
Building on the success of the company so far we are now pleased to expand this service to provide live-in companions for older people and people with a disability who wish to remain living independently in their own homes.
Our companions are happy to provide non medical, informal care and assistance as an aff ordable alternative to often expensive live-in care or residential placements. This type of live-in companion arrangement starts from £70 a week.
Having a companion is best suited to people with less acute needs who do not require specialist care. Our companions do not undertake any ‘personal care’ e.g. bathing, washing etc., but off er an informal live-in
alternative for people who just need some extra help to continue to live in their own homes.
You can choose 25, 30, 35 or 40 hours a week and your companion will help with the following:
• Light housework e.g. hoovering, cleaning
• Doing your washing and ironing
• Food shopping
• Preparing meals and cooking
• Helping you get to appointments (companions who drive are available).
• Doing things you enjoy like going out for lunch, going for a walk, cinema etc.
• Feeding and exercising pets
• Having a chat and a cup of tea!
This type of live-in care and companionship can give peace of mind to other family members who know that their loved ones have

GINGERS
Its hard to believe that November is upon us and we are into the winter season. The good news is that the autumn/winter collection at ‘Gingers’ is very varied and colourful giving that really cosy feeling that we like to feel at this time of the year.
Once again Tunics are big matched with cords or leggings; dresses are also strong and there are some really super knits by poppy in fabulous jewel and coral colours really warm! Colours that are great this season are corals, wines and cobalt blues altogether a much brighter winter season on off er to brighten up the most miserable day.
Accessories are still strong with much more bolder and colourful jewellery coming onboard - great for the ‘Christmas Season’ coming up. Tops are now arriving for the Party Season and they are a good and inexpensive way to jazz up a nice pair of black trousers. The waterproof raincoats
have also now arrived in great colours; chocolates, aubergine, wine, olive to name a few.
We have produced a few snapshots of what is on off er but I urge you to come in have a look for yourselves - you won’t be disappointed as there is such a choice of fashion and accessories to choose from.
As always we look forward to greeting you at Gingers and encourage everyone to use the local shops that are available in the town.

GOLDEN ORCHID
A new arrival on the restaurant scene, Golden Orchid, off ers a feast of food to Thai for!
The Asian cuisine at the eaterie at 46 Plassey Street, Penarth, is a stylish range of sumptuous dishes fi t to lay before a king. It off ers good value in comfortable surroundings and the choice is extensive and great value for money.
Owner Kenny opened the family-run restaurant in April this year. He learned his trade in Hong Kong, picking up his expertise in Chinese dishes naturally through repeated practice and good guidance.
Not long ago, determined to keep on learning his trade, he turned his hand to Thai food and the menu at Golden Orchid off ers the chance of unique dishes you won’t be able to sample anywhere else in the area.
Thai dishes form the bulk of the menu.
But this is a restaurant keen to expand its horizons. And yours!
There are Chinese infl uences and the twin attractions mean the restaurant is unique in Penarth in off ering a taste of two cultures.
The specialities are Thai green curries, red curries, massaman curries - with a choice of squid, king prawn, duck, beef, chicken and fresh vegetable with each curry.
Of course there are plenty of other treats too. Highlights include:
• Chicken with basil and chili
• Crispy beef with sweet chili Thai sauce
• Roast pork Char Siu
• King Prawns with ginger and chili
• Deep fried tofu in homemade sauce
Plenty to choose from and plenty to satisfy the pickiest palate.
Its name was chosen in tribute to Thailand. The orchid is the national symbol of the country - and the fl owers are revered The ‘Golden’ comes from the country’s Buddhist traditions. Buddha is always represented in gold and so the name was a natural choice.
Golden Orchid is open six evenings a week - Tuesday to Sunday from 6pm to 10.30pm, and is shut on Mondays.
10% discount on takeaway orders.
Special o� er for December - a free glass of the white or red house wine for each of you, if four people reserve a table.
The aim is to give you a gold-standard
meal you’ll relish.

Penarth’s fi rst dedicated Iyengar Yoga Studio is now open, with nine classes each week to choose from and monthly workshops at the fully equipped studio on Herbert Terrace. Many of Penarth’s residents have already taken advantage of the new space, with over 60 students attending weekly, during the fi rst month of opening in September.
Thomas & Belinda recently returned to South Wales after living & teaching Iyengar Yoga in Stavanger, Norway last year. As Certifi ed Iyengar Yoga Teachers, Thomas & Belinda can guide students of all ages and physical conditions to a yoga experience that is profound, intelligent and transformative. The Studio off ers classes covering all levels, from the total novice, to the more experienced yoga practitioner. What happens in a yoga class? Yoga is a progression through eight diff erent stages of practise, the third stage, asana (postures) makes up most of a yoga class. In a beginners class the focus is on standing poses, which introduce fundamental techniques, increase fl exibility, develop
strength & stability, bringing about general health and wellness. As a student builds skill and understanding, other postures are introduced including, twists, back bends, forward bends, inversions and restorative poses.
Classes are run as a course to help give a well rounded experience of what yoga has to off er. People often ask us, ‘is coming once a week really enough to make a diff erence?’The answer is, Yes! The benefi ts of yoga have a cumulative eff ect when a regular practise is maintained and after just a few weeks we have had pupils remark that they are sleeping better, have more energy, less body aches and pains and generally feel better within themselves.
Yoga helps to improve the health of all body systems; including the strengthening of the nervous system, reducing stress and anxiety. People have recovered from disease, been rehabilitated after injury and reduced the risk of injury through the regular practise of yoga.
P e n a r t h ’ s f i r s t I Y E N G A R Y o g a S t u d i o
Iyengar Yoga is for everyone! No one is too old, too stiff , too unfi t or too tired to try yoga.
Designed to take care of the entire human condition, yoga generates health and harmony, physically, mentally and emotionally, allowing us to experience a more steady and stable approach to life’s continual ups and downs.
We welcome you to come and try yoga. Why not? You have nothing to lose and everything to gain! Please don’t hesitate to ask if you have any questions, we are more than happy to help guide you as a beginner or regular yoga practitioner.
(You must be 16 years + to attend classes)

Catherine said: “Jelf provides support to businesses and individuals, off ering expert advice on matters relating to insurance, healthcare, employee benefi ts and fi nancial planning.
“Where we diff er is that we off er clients the personal touch, often visiting them at their home or business. While we are locally based we also still have all the benefi ts of a national company which means we have access to many specialist products and great relationships with insurers which mean that we can negotiate great cover at competitive premiums.”
Jelf works with a wide-variety of businesses, large and small, and its team knows that running your own business can be a minefi eld. However, Catherine is well-versed in identifying problems and insurance pitfalls and can off er prospective clients a free, face-to-face consultation to look at their current policies to check for any future issues or savings.

Recent Testimonial“Sweet Peony…..look no further, this is the fl orist of fl orist! Modern yet unique!
As soon as I met Rachel I knew she would fulfi l my expectations for our June wedding. Her knowledge on seasonal fl owers was amazing, I hadn’t realised that fl oristry isn’t just as simple as choosing pretty fl owers and colours - it’s a complex art that Rachel
has just the fl are for! Her advice and suggestions were welcomed because her ideas were simplistic but eff ective.”
Everyone commented on the fl owers as much as they did the bride!
Sweet peony is my fl orist for life!
