Inside Yorkshire

Susan goes behind the scenes today with award winning artist Lucy Pittaway. Lucy talks about the ups and downs of growing a successful business and shares some of the challenges she faced along the way. She has a global business, shipping products worldwide, and after the surprise of winning her first award in 2015 for 'Best in Show' now has quite an array to her name, most recently.winning 'UK's Most Popular Published Artist' in 2018 and 2019.

The Lucy Pittaway Limited Business was formed in May 2015 by Lucy, husband Neil, brother Steve and sister-in-law Felicity, combining their successful business careers with Lucy's artistic talents to build a bright and colourful array of art inspired ceramics, textiles, greetings cards, calendars, diaries and more alongside Lucy's bright and colourful print and canvas artwork. It's a true family affair, conducted with passion and the finest attention to detail - from Lucy's artwork itself, to the giclee printing and picture framing. Nothing leaves the Lucy Pittaway headquarters until the whole team is happy the quality is the best it can be.

Award Winning Artist :

By 2017 the business won 'Best New Art Business' at the Fine Art Trade Guild Awards, and employs a truly fantastic team of people at the Yorkshire HQ.

Lucy's artistic talent has also been recognised by the Fine Art Trade Guild, naming her the 'UK's Best Up and Coming Artist Of The Year' in 2016, followed by the accolade of the 'UK's Most Popular Selling Published Artist' award in 2018 driven by the immense popularity of Lucy's artwork through the three Yorkshire based Lucy Pittaway Art Galleries and the Lucy Pittaway website. 2019 once again saw Lucy named the UK's Most Popular Artist by The Fine Art Trade Guild, and the business awarded 'Best Art Website 2019'.

In this episode we feature two tracks from Fourum's popular music and Susan talks to Jim Jack about how the band started in 1972 and quickly grew in popularity. The name of the band came initially from the latin word Forum meaning a meeting place, with the addition of the extra letter U to distinguish from other groups. It also reinforces the setup of the band which over the years has predominantly had four main performers.  

About the Guests:

The group began with four members: Allen Miller, Jim Jack, Bob Hattersley and Dave Smith, who all worked together teaching at Hummersknott school in Darlington. The lineup changed over the next few years and then settled with the addition of Sandy Still in 1978. Most of their original songs were written and composed by Allen Miller and more recently Rod Hall has contributed with some of his creations and is now a member of the band.

Sadly Bob Hattersley passed away in 2010 and as an ongoing tribute to him Fourum raise funds for Cancer Research, around £16000 so far.

In this week's episode of Inside Yorkshire Susan talks to Roger Cheetham who survived a vicious attack whilst out walking his dog. Although he was left for dead and needed many months in hospital Roger has been able to take this life changing experience and turn it into a message of resilience.

About the Guest:

Roger was attacked whilst walking his dog, an unprovoked attack in June 2013 and despite carrying cash, his telephone and the keys to his pub -The Bassett in Fox Hill, Sheffield - he was not robbed. No motive for the attack has been proven and to this day the perpetrators are still at large. Roger's life has been changed permanently, he is now disabled, but instead of being defined by his attack he has managed to turn the event around and use it as a positive message of overcoming adversity and promoting resilience.

He is the founder of "Live the Life you deserve" and speaks internationally about how he feels it has changed his life for the better, a message of resilience.

Valuable Resources:

Her business is based at Aske Stables just outside of Richmond, in a beautiful, peaceful location, where Kathy treats anyone interested in improving their skin health. Kathy talks about helping clients to understand how to improve their skin, not  from a vanity perspective but rather from a health perspective.

Our skin is the body's largest organ and, when it becomes compromised, problematic skin can develop causing volatile skin conditions such as rosacea and acne. She explains, in easily understandable terms, what we can do to improve our skin. She is, indeed, testament herself that when your skin is well looked after it can take years off your appearance.
