A decade of DKD

Designer Kitchen Direct recently celebrated their ten-year anniversary, a milestone they’re really proud of. In that time the business has grown from a small team to nearly 100 people, with three showrooms across the UK, as well as developing their own kitchen workshop which allows them to manufacture British-made kitchens inhouse.

“We’re especially proud to remain a family-run business at heart, despite the growth,” said Dawn Rayner. “The evening brought together our team, partners, and long-standing clients who have been part of that journey.”

The anniversary It also marked a special moment for two key members of the business,: celebrating Dawn’s 40th year in the industry and Mary’s 20th year, recognising their experience and contribution over the years.

The event – at The Mowbray – itself was ahead to what comes next.

“There’s a foolishness in trying to do things in your own,” he said, as we sat in Horses stadium. “I don’t want to be the man, I want to be part of the team.”

Looking back through Jon’s involvements in previous projects, it’s always been as part of a team and this latest venture is no exception.

“We very deliberately set up a company with complementary skill sets,” explained Jon. “I’m a creative person and my strength is ideas. The trick here is to put a team around me who can bring those ideas into being.

“Alexis is going to be the CEO, he will sort out the internal mechanisms of it.

the land complications. Dave Bianchi is going to try and connect us with a bunch of enablers and help bring into being some of the ideas I’ve got for the club.”

There are many advantages - aesthetic and otherwise - to choosing silver jewellery.

Silver has been used in precious objects and jewellery for thousands of years, admired for its bright lustre and malleability, allowing it to be formed into intricate shapes. Although it has often been relegated to second place behind gold (quite literally, if you’re a sports fan!), this beautiful metal is now gaining in popularity, since steep increases in precious metal prices have pushed gold higher.

well; it can require less maintenance than white gold. Many branded silver pieces are also plated with rhodium to add an extra bright layer to the surface and reduce tarnishing, although such pieces should not be cleaned in silver jewellery dips or solutions, so care is required.

Summer AWAITS

Go wild this spring and summer by indulging in some outdoor swimming – it’s good for the mind and body and with so many great locations nearby, it’s accessible too.
By Olivia Miller.

The longer days and the wzarmer weather create the perfect excuse to take your workouts outdoors. Try to get outside when the light is brightest, between 8am-10am and consider swapping your indoor gym session for outdoor alternatives.

Wild swimming is an excellent exercise that offers a full-body workout and allows you to soak up some vitamin D too. Vitamin D plays a crucial role in calcium absorption, immune system support, mood regulation, and muscular function, making it essential to make the most of the sun whilst we have it.

Most people would shudder at the thought of exposing themselves to cold

water voluntarily, yet wild swimming is becoming increasingly popular with many thoroughly enjoying the experience. The

body has to work twice as hard to stay warm in the cold water. One of the biggest reasons most people get hooked is not

swimming but for the buzz and feeling you get whilst doing it, as well as the way you feel for the rest of the day. The shock to the system of swimming in cold water releases endorphins (the happy hormone), but also gets you out of the house and away from the hustle and bustle of daily life.

Wild swimming is an incredibly accessible sport and one that is hugely

individual and personal. It is time for yourself, time to challenge yourself and time in nature. When you are plunged into cold water, you cannot think about work or your worries, as your brain immediately focuses on your breathing and your body. It becomes a form of natural meditation which demands presence. There is no room for overthinking or drifting thoughts when in freezing waters.

However, there are a few safety tips you need to think about of when wild swimming in open waters.

• Wear the correct clothes. You should wear something bright and visible in the water, and wearing swim shoes will help protect your feet and keep you from sliding. If the

water is very cold, a wetsuit could also be a good idea.

• If you are swimming in the sea, have a look at the tides, currents and weather conditions before you go.

• Check the water temperature before you dive in and submerge yourself gradually, allowing your body to get used to the temperature.

• Avoid swimming alone and let someone know where you are in case of an emergency.

To safely start and enjoy wild swimming, in Derbyshire that are guaranteed to get you hooked. Many spots offer a peaceful hike before getting to your destination, combining both hobbies for a fun and

memorable day out. Here are a few great areas to enjoy a quick dip or fully submerge yourself in the waters this summer.

Rivelin Plunge Pool

If you are after a quick dip, look no further than the Rivelin Valley plunge pool. It is roughly a 10-minute drive from the centre for most. The water can get really cold

several areas perfect for a little swim or a paddle. The surrounding woodland provides a peaceful escape from the city, making it a great choice for those seeking a lovely, beginners-friendly wild swimming experience.

Withens Brook

Nestled in the peaks is the hidden gem of Withens Brook. It is a beautiful spot, well hidden, and with a waterfall and a refreshing plunge pool. Withens Brook

seems to be one of the more underrated and hidden swimming spots in the Peak District, but one worth visiting.

Slippery Stones

This secluded swimming spot is for those who would like a long walk before having a swim. Slippery Stones is accessible via a 5-6-mile walk from the Fairholmes car park, making it a perfect location for a day out in the countryside for those who fancy the hike. The journey there may be a bit of a trek, but the tranquil waters and peaceful atmosphere make it well worth the effort.

Youlgreave

This is the perfect area for kids to go wild swimming as there’s a designated section of the water that has been carved out for swimming, with fresh water running through. There are even large stone slabs that act as levels for very small children.

Whether wild swimming is your thing or not, on the following pages we speak to some local businesses who can help you achieve your health and beauty goals.
