2 THE ALAN TITCHMARSH COLUMN<br />
GREENFINGERS…<br />
the Alan Titchmarsh<br />
column<br />
He’s a brilliant presenter, accomplished gardener,<br />
talented novelist, and all-round horticultural<br />
inspiration. This month, Alan Titchmarsh discusses<br />
the unpredictability of Mother Nature.<br />
We’re approaching that somewhat uncertain time of the<br />
year now where the elements start misbehaving again.<br />
Throughout the summer there is something of a<br />
confidence in the weather systems, namely that aside<br />
from the odd aberration, everything will reset back to<br />
the default of warmth and brightness. Yet as September<br />
progresses, the vagaries become more prevalent, and the<br />
unpredictability of the month is a notable sign of things to<br />
come.<br />
Of course, us gardeners are a tenacious bunch, aren’t we,<br />
and we are largely philosophical about the challenges that<br />
confront us. We dig, we plant, and we prune, with the<br />
hope, the expectation, that our hard work will pay off. But<br />
let’s be honest with ourselves – while we can put all the<br />
love and care into our gardens, we’re really at the whim of<br />
nature, aren’t we?<br />
It’s rather like being at a tea dance, following intently your<br />
partner’s steps. You may be doing pretty well, but at some<br />
point they’ll surprise you with a quick two-step when you<br />
were expecting a waltz! It’s the same with gardening - you<br />
might have a notion of what your garden will look like, a<br />
picture in your mind, but nature… well, she has a mind of<br />
her own. She doesn’t always follow our well-intentioned<br />
plans, does she?<br />
Whether it’s a sudden frost in spring, a deluge when<br />
we’d expected sunshine, or even a cheeky mole wreaking<br />
havoc amongst our tulips… and those beautiful roses<br />
you planted, just perfect for your garden’s colour scheme?
3<br />
Sometimes they simply decide not to grow!<br />
In short, nature has a way of reminding us who is truly in control.<br />
Now, if I’ve learned anything from my years digging in the dirt, it’s that gardening isn’t<br />
about fighting these setbacks. Rather, go along with them. We need to adapt, to be<br />
resilient. It’s a dance, remember? And dancing isn’t nearly as fun if you’re constantly<br />
stepping on your partner’s toes!<br />
Let’s take that mole as an example. We might feel frustrated, even a bit angry, to find our<br />
lovely lawn full of molehills. But then, we might also realise that Mr. Mole has kindly<br />
done us the favour of aerating our soil! And that, my friends, is a perfect opportunity<br />
to sow some wildflower seeds. Before you know it, what was once a patchy lawn could<br />
become a buzzing, vibrant mini-meadow. And all thanks to a little setback!<br />
It’s only right, isn’t it, that we let nature find her own way? After all, she’s been doing<br />
this for quite a bit longer than we have. Who are we to dictate the rules? Our job, as<br />
gardeners, is to support and encourage nature, not to control it.<br />
Now, there will be times when we’re up against the wall, when the weather, the bugs,<br />
the unexpected growth, feel like too much. It’s okay to feel disheartened, but I implore<br />
you to take a step back, to look at your garden, and to see not what it isn’t, but what it<br />
could be.<br />
Remember, every challenge is an opportunity for growth, both for our plants and for us<br />
as gardeners. So embrace the uncertainty, revel in the unexpected, and keep on dancing<br />
with nature. You might be surprised at where the dance takes you.<br />
It’s only right we spend so long obsessing over the green spaces in our garden, and at the<br />
heart of that is plants, flowers and, of course, a gorgeous, lush, green lawn.<br />
Yet there is many a beautiful baize spoiled by the constant plodding of human feet, and<br />
when the colder, rainier months come around, that gentle path leading to the shed can<br />
rapidly come to resemble a muddy mess.<br />
That’s why providing a practical route for people to be able move through a garden is<br />
so important. Paths and walkways obviously serve a practical function in providing safe<br />
and easy access to the decorated corners of your garden, whilst also offering a visual and<br />
aesthetic element, guiding the eye, offering a contrast between natural and manmade<br />
materials, whilst creating, as well, an invitation to explore.<br />
Maintaining a pathway, or perhaps even a larger paved area, almost always means turning<br />
to concrete. It is hard-wearing, inexpensive and versatile, while in terms of durability<br />
you’ll struggle to find anything better. Yet for those who want a look that’s more natural<br />
or rustic, use something like gravel, wood or natural stone. These materials can create a<br />
softer, more organic look that blends in well with the surrounding landscape.<br />
Either way, focus on colour and texture. Look at the other shades in your garden and try<br />
to match tones; also mimic shapes in flowers and plants by selecting concrete elements<br />
that are styled and intricately designed, focusing on curves, lines and detail.<br />
In terms of laying a path, plan every stone before you start, aiming for flow, perspective<br />
and a pattern that guides the eye. Ensure the ground you are laying the path on is well<br />
drained, and while the temptation is to lay each slab level, you may want to factor in a<br />
slight tilt so that rainwater runs off it rather than pooling on top.<br />
Finally, when laid, gravel or mulch around the sides of the path will hold it in place and<br />
allow it to soften as it naturalises with your garden.<br />
As the years go by, regular cleaning and repairs will keep your path in optimum<br />
condition. Jet washing is a great way of bringing it back to life.<br />
Ultimately, while concrete often carries with it an unsteady reputation as far as our<br />
gardens are concerned, we’d be stuck without it!<br />

Common Mistakes in National Minimum Wage Compliance<br />
In June 2023, the UK Government identified 202 employers who had failed to pay their staff the legal minimum wage. This breach affected approximately 63,000 workers across<br />
a range of businesses, from major brands to small enterprises. The government’s message is clear: all employers must adhere to the statutory minimum wage regulations.<br />
To ensure proper compliance and fair compensation for employees, businesses must be aware of the following common mistakes:<br />
1. Failure to implement new rates: The primary reason for underpayment is neglecting to apply the annual minimum wage rate increase, which occurs every 1st of<br />
April.<br />
2. Overlooking birthdays: Underpayments often occur when employers miss employees’ birthdays, causing them to move from one rate to another.<br />
3. Inappropriate payment of apprentice rates: Only apprentice under the age of 19 or in their first year of apprenticeship are eligible for the reduced<br />
apprenticeship rate.<br />
4. Misuse of the apprentice rate: Recognized apprentices must be engaged under a contract of apprenticeship and undergo structured training.<br />
5. Failure to pay for working time: Determining which time should be paid, such as travel time, training time, and on-call time, can be challenging and<br />
requires consultation with relevant case law.<br />
6. Neglecting payment for additional time: Employers must ensure that they compensate employees for additional time worked, such as clearing<br />
security checks or clocking in/out.<br />
7. Including non-National Minimum Wage-countable payments: Employers commonly make the mistake of including pay elements, such as<br />
tips, overtime payments, expense reimbursements, and wage advances, that do not count towards the minimum wage calculation.<br />
8. Deductions: Deductions for job-related items or expenses, including safety clothing, uniforms, safety boots, and tools, reduce the<br />
employees’ average hourly pay below the National Minimum Wage.<br />
9. Accommodation offset: Charging workers more than the offset rate for living accommodation can lead to non-compliance, and<br />
will impact NMW calculations.<br />
10. Mistaken exemption from NMW: Exemptions include members of the armed forces, certain company directors, and<br />
voluntary workers who receive no monetary payments or benefits in kind, apart from reasonable expense reimbursement.<br />
To ensure compliance with the National Minimum Wage regulations, employers should consult local advisors to maximize<br />
tax savings through applicable schemes.<br />
Get in touch with your local advisor to discuss National Minimum Wages compliance<br />

incredible rural views, boasting a luxury primary suite with balcony, open-plan living space<br />
with high-end kitchen, huge lounge and doors to the garden with a vast terrace and detached<br />
annexe. Located in an elevated position above the glorious Monmouthshire countryside<br />
and on the edge of the Wye Valley, this truly stunning home offers an idyllic rural lifestyle<br />
surrounded by breathtaking, panoramic views of the Vale of Usk.<br />
At the end of a small country lane, behind electric gates and at the end of a sweeping<br />
driveway the substantial four-bedroom home called Twyn Gorse promises peace and privacy,<br />
enveloped within three acres of land.<br />
The perfectly placed property at the brow of a hill maximises the incredible panoramic view<br />
that extends for miles across the landscape to the horizon, and from the vast garden terrace<br />
the vista across the county is exceptional.<br />
When the current owners spent two years updating and remodelling the property into a<br />
remarkable home, they optimised the connection to the view from the house by adding a<br />
sizeable first floor balcony as the front row seat to feel totally immersed in the landscape.

IN THE SPOTLIGHT<br />
In the spotlight<br />
Estate agency is a people business, so in this series,<br />
Sharon Chilcott interviews some of our local property<br />
professionals to find out more about the people behind<br />
the profile. In the spotlight this issue, it’s city boy turned<br />
country dweller Richard Kerpner, of Fine & Country who is<br />
the Head of Sales covering the Chepstow, Monmouth and<br />
Ross-on-Wye offices.<br />
When and where did you cut your teeth in the business?<br />
I am Bristol-born and bred, so that’s where I started my career. I used to play<br />
squash with someone whose father owned a chain of estate agents. He offered<br />
me my first job, as a trainee negotiator, about 32 years ago. It wasn’t long before<br />
I became the branch manager and I then went on to work for larger corporate<br />
estate agencies, in various locations around Bristol. By the time I got my first job in<br />
Monmouthshire, I was a senior manager working for a large property group with<br />
50 offices across the south of England.<br />
Would you recommend estate agency as a career choice?<br />
Yes, you get to meet some very interesting people, look at great properties and<br />
travel around the beautiful countryside. There are good opportunities if you work<br />
hard. It was definitely the right choice for me. I have a busy working life and I<br />
enjoy it. Now, with so many years’ experience under my belt, it is also rewarding<br />
to be able to help and mentor other people in the office as they start out on their<br />
career paths.<br />
Even so, if you weren’t an estate agent, what do you think you would be?<br />
I love sports and once had a promising squash career, but I never progressed past<br />
being a county player. I also love cars. My uncle sold classic sports cars and I did<br />
once think about being involved with prestige car sales.<br />
What essential skills do you bring to the role?<br />
I grew up in the restaurant trade and used to help out front of house. I think that<br />
taught me to be a “people person”. I am a good communicator and I have a highly<br />
developed understanding of customer service. And it’s not just about service – I like<br />
to do whatever I can do to make my clients feel special. I am also a calm personality<br />
and very patient. And, of course, I am 100% committed to helping our clients sell<br />
their homes for the best possible price.<br />
What’s the greatest achievement of your career to date?<br />
There have been many but I tend to live in the moment. Right here, right now, it’s<br />
selling some of the highest-value homes in Monmouthshire and Gloucestershire. It’s<br />
my idea of a dream job.
23<br />
My ethos is if you say you are going to do<br />
something, do it!<br />
What sport do you play or follow?<br />
I had to give up playing squash years ago, through injury, but I do enjoy watching<br />
tournaments on YouTube. I also like watching all types of motorsports, from<br />
rallying to Formula 1, predominantly on the TV, but I have been to watch a few<br />
rallies.<br />
You are clearly a real car enthusiast. If money were no object, what would<br />
you buy?<br />
Probably something like a Porsche 911 – a great driver’s car.<br />
Now, back to business, what do you want to be known for?<br />
Excellent customer service, marketing some amazing homes, and achieving the best<br />
prices for our clients.<br />
How does the business give back to the community?<br />
We make a donation from every completion to our Fine & Country Foundation.<br />
They are involved with awarding quarterly grants to many charities and with<br />
helping the homeless. Awards are made quarterly and we get the chance to put<br />
forward proposals for local causes.<br />
Where do you see your estate agency in ten years’ time?<br />
We will continue our unwavering commitment to personalised service. It will<br />
remain at the heart of our business to tailor our services to meet the unique needs<br />
of our clients, ensuring their satisfaction at every step of their selling journey.<br />
What’s the one most significant way in which you expect the market to<br />
have changed in ten years’ time?<br />
Emphasis will be placed on valuing individuals over the presence of branches<br />
and prioritising quality and professionalism. There is a huge sway towards selfemployed<br />
estate agents.<br />

Head of Sales,<br />

Monmouth & Ross on Wye.<br />

Email: richard.kerpner@fineandcountry.com<br />
www.fineandcountry.com<br />
What’s the best career advice you have ever been given?<br />
“Service, integrity and performance”. This is the mission statement of a company<br />
that I worked for in Bristol. I guess after almost 20 years it becomes part of you.<br />
Do you have any other mantras that you live by?<br />
My ethos is if you say you are going to do something, do it!<br />
In your experience, is there one common mistake which sellers make?<br />
Listening to family, friends and neighbours! It’s better to listen to the professionals.<br />
We will always give you the best advice.<br />
What would be your dream home?<br />
One like a wonderful Arts & Crafts house I was lucky enough to sell in<br />
Monmouthshire. It was situated in a lovely secluded position with breathtaking<br />
valley views.<br />
Where do you live and what do you enjoy about living there?<br />
About 26 years ago, just before my eldest daughter was born, my wife and I moved<br />
to a small hamlet in the beautiful Monmouthshire countryside near St Arvans.<br />
On days off, I enjoy spending time in our garden and walking our dogs, Ava, a<br />
Wirehaired Vizsla and Alfy, our Miniature Schnauzer. There are miles and miles of<br />
wonderful walks on our doorstep. For example, I can walk to Tintern via forestry<br />
tracks. On some walks, we don’t see another soul.<br />
What do you listen to on the radio?<br />
I still listen to Heart Radio, Bristol.

10 Reasons Why Regional Installers of Windows<br />
and Doors Are Better Than National Ones<br />
When it comes to replacing windows and doors, choosing the right installer<br />
is crucial. The choice can sometimes feel bewildering with everything<br />
from national companies, and regional ones such as Glevum to “one man<br />
band” builders that also install windows and doors. While national installers may be<br />
household names, there are many reasons why you may opt for a regional installer<br />
for your window and door needs. In this blog, we’ll explore the top ten reasons why<br />
regional installers are a better choice.The cost of new uPVC doors and windows is<br />
influenced by several factors, including:<br />
Local Expertise<br />
Regional installers have a deep understanding of the local area, building regulations,<br />
and architectural styles. This expertise ensures that they can provide tailored<br />
solutions that are perfectly suited to your specific needs, considering factors like<br />
weather conditions, energy efficiency, and design requirements.<br />
Personalised Service<br />
With regional installers, you can expect a more personal and attentive approach. They<br />
often have a smaller customer base, allowing them to focus on individual needs and<br />
offer a higher level of customer service. You’re more likely to have direct access to the<br />
decision-makers, ensuring clear communication throughout the installation process.<br />
After-Sales Support<br />
Regional installers are more accessible and responsive when it comes to after-sales<br />
support. In case of any issues or concerns, you can expect a prompt resolution, often<br />
with the same individuals who handled your installation. This level of personalised<br />
care ensures that you receive ongoing support and peace of mind long after the<br />
project is completed.<br />
So, which will you choose?<br />
While national installers may have their merits, regional installers offer a range of<br />
benefits that make them the preferred choice for window and door installations.<br />
Their local expertise, personalised service, and commitment to the community set<br />
them apart, providing homeowners with exceptional value, reliability and high<br />
quality products.<br />
If you are considering new uPVC windows and doors, then why not contact Glevum<br />
Windows for more information or a no obligation quote by calling 0800 33 22 55 or<br />
by visiting www.glevum.co.uk<br />
Faster Response Time<br />
Regional installers are generally more responsive and efficient than national<br />
companies. They are typically located closer to your home, which means they can<br />
provide quicker assistance, from initial consultation to project completion. This<br />
promptness ensures a smoother and more convenient experience for homeowners.<br />
Local Reputation<br />
Regional installers rely heavily on their local reputation to thrive in their area. They<br />
prioritise customer satisfaction and maintain a strong track record of successful<br />
installations. By choosing a regional installer with a well-established reputation,<br />
you can have greater confidence in the quality of their workmanship and after-sales<br />
support.<br />
Supporting Local Economy<br />
When you choose a regional installer, you contribute to the growth of your local<br />
economy. By supporting local businesses, you help create jobs and stimulate<br />
economic development in your community. It’s a win-win situation as you receive<br />
top-notch service while making a positive impact on your area.<br />
Flexibility and Customisation<br />
Regional installers often have more flexibility in accommodating your specific<br />
requirements. They can offer a wider range of customisable options in terms of<br />
window and door designs, colours, hardware, and finishes. This allows you to tailor<br />
the final product to your preferences, creating a unique look for your home.<br />
Competitive Pricing<br />
Contrary to popular belief, regional installers can often provide competitive pricing<br />
compared to national companies. Their lower overhead costs and focus on local<br />
markets enable them to offer cost-effective solutions without compromising on<br />
quality. By obtaining quotes from regional installers, you can potentially save money<br />
on your window and door installation. Whilst sometimes a “one man band” installer<br />
can be cheaper, do they have the same experience, level of skill and after care service?<br />
Local Regulations Compliance<br />
Building regulations and codes can vary from region to region. Regional installers<br />
have an in-depth understanding of the local rules and ensure that your installation<br />
meets all necessary compliance requirements. This knowledge helps streamline the<br />
process, avoiding delays and potential complications.<br />
Community Involvement<br />
Regional installers are deeply invested in their local communities. They actively<br />
participate in community events, support local charities, and establish strong<br />
relationships with their customers. By choosing a regional installer, you become part<br />
of this community-centric approach and contribute to a sustainable and supportive<br />
ecosystem. Glevum are active supporters of the local charity and sporting community.
