We recently added a new blog to the website for Symon Powell at benson’s restaurant in Bard’s Walk in Stratford. It’s looking really good – he uses it to write about reviews, promotions, local events and to give tourist advice.
Symon also runs the Henley Street Tea Rooms as well as the cafe at The Visitor Information Centre on Bridgefoot near the River Avon and the House of Tea, a quintessentially English tea merchant, near Shakespeare’s Birthplace.
A blog is a great way of keeping your website up to date, fresh and also giving it a personal touch – Symon’s blog is a good example!
Symon is also leading the Henley Street Trading Group in supporting a project to bring a spectacular 3D light display to the town in the run up to Christmas – you can read more about it in this week’s Stratford Herald.
Driveawaypoole is a new driving school based at Poole Quay in Dorset. Simon Wootton runs the DRIVEAWAY school of motoring. He has been a qualified driving instructor for several years and has had many years teaching, both driving and as a sports coach. In his younger days, he played professional cricket for Warwickshire and Gloucestershire.
He knows the area well, has grown up children and years of experience of meeting and helping people of all ages. Together with his wife he runs Poole Boat Charters which operates from Poole Quay.
Simon believes in teaching people to drive ‘for life’ not just to pass the test. He is extremely calm and never gets cross. Lessons are tailored to the individual as some pupils pick up the skills quicker than others. If you can progress quickly, Simon will not hold you back; however if you find it more challenging, Simon will help you gain confidence.
