St Catherine’s Hospice Midnight Walk – Saturday 19 June 2010

Join women of all ages and fitness levels in our half marathon walk through Horsham starting at midnight!

Starting and finishing in Horsham Park, this sponsored 13 mile walk will raise money in aid of St Catherine’s Hospice.  Entry is £15 and every walker will receive a special Midnight Walk t-shirt, refreshments along the way plus a well-deserved medal and breakfast at the finish line!

So why not get together with friends, family and colleagues to do something that is not only a bit of a challenge but also means that they can support a great local cause

The Pets, Homes and Gardens Company

Having run a very successful pet and house sitting service for seven years, Horsham-based couple (and editor of Holbrook Pages!) Julie and Peter Maxted are now offering people the chance to run their own business by offering a complete package – a business in a box!

Although Julie and Peter have run their business mainly as a part-time concern (full time during busy holiday periods) looking after cats and small animals, together with houseminding, this business model offers the opportunity to adapt the business to your own personal lifestyle, whether it be part-time, full time, dog walking and dog boarding, or looking after horses and small holdings – the adaptability is tremendous. 

Licensees will be given a years mentoring and guidance, together with a full comprehensive manual, two days training, their own fully functional website, work wear and many other benefits, so they are completely ready to start trading straightaway.

Having seen the success and profitability over the last few years that Julie has made of this business, I felt that it was a good way offering a package to other would-be interested potential business owners. 

Petsitting is a growth industry and we are pleased to be able to offer a package that will help benefit those people wishing to start their own pet care business in this current ‘challenging’ climate, said Peter.
