Happy Saturday!

Happy Saturday!

We are proud to be a small business, owned and operated by local people. We also love to support others in our business community, here is a blog from Jess about her Saturday morning.

I just love a sunny Saturday morning when I arrive in Hockley super early, fly the open flag outside the Amos office like a top of Everest celebration moment, gleeful at beating our still closed competitors to the 'early bird' trophy. I grab the sunny seat outside one of the Villages many cafes to watch the world go by for ten minutes armed with my mug of hot tea, contemplating the day ahead and wincing at my mobile banking app, did I really have that many cocktails in Revolution last night?

Come 7.30am the Village is already alive with joggers, horse riders and a small army of dog owners heading towards Hockley Woods, what a wonderful place to live (Hockley that is not Hockley Woods, that would be cold in December!)

Nestled at the top of Rayleigh High Street, Holy Trinity Church stands as a timeless symbol of faith, history, and community spirit. For more than six centuries, it has witnessed the life of the town, from medieval markets to modern-day gatherings. Today, Holy Trinity remains not only a place of worship but also a beacon of remembrance.

Getting on the property ladder in the UK is no easy feat. Between rising house prices, large deposits, and extra costs like Stamp Duty, first-time buyers face a serious challenge. But a new proposal from Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch could offer real relief: scrapping Stamp Duty on homes bought as a main residence.

As communities across the country come together to honour those who gave their lives in service, our Director Colin MacLean has taken the lead in marking the start of the 2025 Poppy Appeal with a heartfelt act of remembrance at the Hadleigh War Memorial. Colin has unveiled a stunning wall of poppies, the first in a series of moving displays.
