Forest Marble celebrate their first anniversary

FOREST Marble are celebrating their first year of trading, bringing their vision of a unique high street estate agency with a twist.

“When setting up Forest Marble we wanted to do something that felt familiar but in reality was very different,” said Will Parfit of Forest Marble.

“Consumers buying habits have changed dramatically, it is generally accepted now that most people first see their next home online.  However they still need professional advice and local knowledge  to assist in the buying process.

“We saw an opening for a true hybrid estate agency, in essence this means we offer everything you would expect from a high street agent with a modern twist.  Estate agency as an industry is very stuck in the 90’s.  So what we have done is modernised, as other industries have already done.

“Most sales go to buyers from out of the area, so we cover a larger number of towns such as Frome, Westbury, Warminster, GIllingham, Bruton, Shepton Mallet, Radstock & Bath to name but a few.  This means our coverage is far greater which widens the number of potential buyers we can reach.

“Our key differences being, open and available 24/7, real time video tours, social media marketing, simple fee structure payable on completion only, out of town offices where you can park for free, wide reaching network to maximise the marketing of people’s homes.

This new way of marketing has resulted in us giving you the best percentage chance of you selling compared to any other local agency in 2017.  All this culminated in winning our British Property Award.”

  • Young Frome rider buys dream bike after saving for three years

A young motorbike rider in Frome says he is “over the moon” after saving for nearly three years to buy his dream off-road Yamaha motorbike.

Ed Price, 11, purchased a Yamaha TTR 125cc copy after putting aside all the money he earned doing chores and helping his mum deliver the Frome Times.

“Ed knew that even after buying the bike, it would still need a lot of money for day-to-day running,” said his mum, Victoria.

Before helping with the paper round, Ed had already saved £400 but knew he needed more to buy a suitable bike. After months of searching, a Yamaha TTR 125cc copy — a small off-road bike designed for young riders — came up for sale just down the road.

  • An evening with BBC Radio star Jeremy Vine

BBC Radio broadcaster and national treasure, Jeremy Vine is coming to Frome to talk about his extraordinary life on the airwaves and the murder mystery inspired by his career. 

Jeremy will be in conversation with fellow BBC Radio broadcaster, BBC Bristol and Somerset’s Andy Bennett, at the Merlin Theatre in Frome on Saturday 21st June at 7.30pm.

The event is being hosted by Winstone’s Hunting Raven Books. Copies of the book will be on sale and there will be a book signing at the end of the event. 

Tickets are £15 each. Book online at www.bit.ly/jeremyvinefrome or via the Merlin Theatre Frome www.merlintheatre.co.uk or 01373 465949 (Box Office open Monday to Friday 10am until 12noon).

  • Pod Youth Club expands in newly renovated premises

The Pod Youth Club has relaunched and expanded its services after moving into a newly renovated youth centre in Frome.

After 12 years of running a bespoke youth club for children with additional needs, The Pod Charity – which supports young people and adults with additional needs – has relaunched its youth club service in the Vallis Youth Centre on Vallis Road.
