We are pleased to announce that we are now using “Worldpay” as our provider for debit and credit card payments.

Worldpay have launched a new system for chip and pin payments using an iPhone application in conjunction with a Bluetooth connected card reader.

As cheque payments are now declining rapidly we hope this will prove convenient for both ourselves and our customers, enabling them to pay without the need to withdraw cash from their bank. At present we are able to take payments using Visa Credit, Visa Debit, Mastercard and Maestro cards.

 

Obviously we are still happy to accept cash as payment but hope this new system will prove more convenient.worldpay

Don’t leave your car keys lying around !

I was called out by one of my existing customers who was looking after their neighbour’s house. The owners had gone off to the other side of the world for a funeral and had asked my customer to keep an eye on things. Unfortunately the first sign something was wrong was when they noticed the owner’s car had gone !

It transpired that the thieves had got in thru’ a very small hopper window, found both house and car keys lying in the hallway, opened the front door and off they went with the car. Fortunately the car was found later undamaged. A new set of locks on the front door and the hopper window secured properly at least meant they wouldn’t be back to help themselves to anything else.

Going away ? …. Hide your spare house keys and car keys so that they can’t be used ! Think about installing a small security safe …. you can get them for about £40 or £50 … a lot lot cheaper than having to replace house and car locks !
