GUY COGGLES<\/h4>

Why I Became Managing Director of the PW Masonic Hall<\/strong><\/span><\/p>

I\u2019m Guy Coggles, Managing Director of the Paddock Wood Masonic Hall & Events Centre. Taking on the role of running the hall has been quite a journey. I don\u2019t come from a hospitality or retail background, so stepping into this position has definitely been a steep learning curve, but it\u2019s also been incredibly rewarding. I come from an agricultural and mechanical background, studying at Plumpton Agricultural College.<\/p>

I\u2019m a single father to my two children, Skye and Theo, who keep me busy and grounded. Family life is very important to me and we enjoy spending time together whenever we can. Alongside running the hall I currently work for Adrian Scripps as an HGV driver.<\/p>

Outside of work I have quite a few hobbies. I\u2019ve always been interested in model engineering and railways. I built my own N-gauge railway layout and also have a 5-inch gauge diesel train. I enjoy horse riding, visiting National Trust properties and museums, and when I get the chance I like going to the cinema or theatre. At home we also have two rescued Sphynx cats who definitely keep things interesting.<\/p>

\u00a0My aim is to see the hall grow into a thriving community venue that people can use for events, clubs, meetings and celebrations.<\/p>

MCM TRAVELS
(Meritxell Doyle)<\/h3>

Why I Became an Independent Travel Agent<\/strong><\/span><\/p>

People often ask why I became an independent travel agent\u2026 and the answer is simple: I truly love travel.<\/p>

For me, a holiday isn\u2019t just about sunshine and a beach (although I won\u2019t say no ). It\u2019s about the food, the smells, the scenery, the wildlife, the local people, and discovering what makes a place feel completely different from home.<\/p>

If I had to sum up what travel means to me in one word, it would be: adventure.<\/p>

My own adventures have been shaped by unforgettable experiences: a discovery trip in Alaska, many incredible visits across Canada including sailing on the Canadian lakes, soaking up the history and culture of Istanbul with my best friend, time in New Zealand, walking through national parks in Spain, exploring the historic beauty of Croatia, cruising in a small ship around Norway\u2026 and even flying a T-6 plane many times and winning my husband in several air dog-fights (always a pleasure when I beat him!<\/p>

And honestly\u2026 there are many more that would make this post far too long.<\/p>

That\u2019s why I love helping others create holidays that feel just as memorable and why I decided to turn my passion into my business.<\/p>

Get in touch if you would like me to find your next adventure<\/p>

Why I became a Virtual Assistant and mentor others<\/u><\/b><\/p>

\u00a0<\/b>People often ask why I decided to become a Virtual Assistant\u2026 and the answer is simple: I wanted more control\u2026 over my time, my work, and the kind of impact I could make.<\/p>

After years in traditional roles, I realised I wanted a career that allowed me to work in a way that felt meaningful, flexible and entirely my own. Stepping away from the 9\u20135 and building a business from scratch was a bold move, but it\u2019s been the most rewarding chapter of my career.<\/p>

If I had to sum up what my business means to me in one word, it would be:\u00a0freedom<\/b>.<\/p>

Since launching, I\u2019ve supported CEOs and Managing Directors with high-level executive support, the kind that gives them back time, clarity and the space to lead. I\u2019ve grown a small team, doubled my income in the first year, and built a business that aligns with my values and strengths.<\/p>

Today, I help business leaders regain control of their inboxes, calendars and priorities\u2026 and I mentor aspiring VAs who want to create more balance, flexibility and purpose in their own careers.<\/p>

My mission is simple: to help people thrive in business and in life.<\/p>

If you\u2019re looking for support, whether in your role, your business or your career journey\u2026 I\u2019d love to connect.<\/p>

Construction and Safety Signs (CSS)<\/strong><\/span><\/p>

I first started at CSS way back in the early to mid 2000\u2019s left in around 2006 and then was dragged back by my old boss as I was the only one out of numerous staff that he got on with! Haha.. \u00a0 He was retiring and asked Tara and I to run the business\u2026. she has since gone on to be a full time mum but is still a director here at CSS.<\/p>

Everything is made in house here at our premises in Ticehurst, East Sussex and we supply some of the countries biggest Construction Companies including Vinci Construction, Croudace Homes and Algeco not to mention big factories like British Gypsum and Bridgnorth Aluminium.<\/p>

Did you know?? We stop for Popmaster every single day and Marc our production manager and I battle it out to see who scores the most points!<\/p>

Why I become the owner of West Kent Shooting School\u00a0 –\u00a0 <\/strong>Gillian Dyer-Lynch<\/strong><\/span><\/p>

For 13yrs I worked in London while my husband Michael, worked with his parents at the Shooting School.<\/p>

They retired and along with\u00a0 Michael, we brought the business back in 1999 and I gave up the commute and I\u2019m now proud to run West Kent Shooting School, with deep roots in the Kent countryside.\u00a0<\/p>

Founded in 1974, the Shooting School has grown over five decades into one of the South East\u2019s most respected clay pigeon venues.<\/p>

Over the years we\u2019ve continually invested in our grounds and layouts to ensure an enjoyable and varied shooting experience.<\/p>

Alongside lessons and practice shooting, we specialise in corporate events and hospitality days \u2014 offering businesses a unique and memorable way to bring teams and clients together in a relaxed countryside setting.<\/p>

For me, it\u2019s all about sharing a sport that\u2019s been 50 years in the making and seeing people leave with confidence, achievement and a smile.<\/p>
