Island newsagent "thrilled" after bagging national award

Yahoo20-02-2025
A COWES Newsagent has become the second Isle of Wight store to win Yodel's 'Store of The Quarter' award for outstanding service levels.
Blakes News beat competition from the Deliver to Yodel Store network of over 7,000 newsagents, convenience stores, petrol stations, and supermarkets nationwide, having handled nearly 4,000 parcels in the last quarter.
The store had an outstanding five star average rating from Yodel's in-house Have Your Say customer feedback survey.
The Cowes store has been at the heart of the local community since Amanda and her partner Phil opened the shop in 2006 and now run the store as a family business including their daughter, Courtney.

Amanda Belt, store owner, said: 'We're thrilled to have been recognised as the latest Store of the Quarter. It really is a testament to how close we are as a community and as a team here at Blakes News.
'Being a part of the Deliver to Yodel Store network has been a huge boost to our business; it's really driving footfall and allowing us to provide an essential service to those living nearby. It has been a pleasure seeing the store become a vibrant community hub.'
Yodel has recently seen customer-to-customer volumes surge as a result of a rise in people buying and selling on second-hand marketplaces like Vinted and eBay. Thanks to its network of shops across the country, parcel senders and recipients alike are never far from a pick-up or drop-off point.
Liam Rogan, the out of home Director, said: 'This award represents the dedication and hard work of Blakes News and their commitment to excellence and customer satisfaction. At Yodel, we want to celebrate the partners who help us to deliver reliable and efficient parcel services nationwide, and are committed to supporting and celebrating the continuous outstanding efforts in the Isle of Wight.'
Last May, Farnsworth's in Nodehill, Newport, received the 'Store of the Quarter' award, in recognition of its outstanding customer support and service to the local community.

Time Finance forays into materials handling segment with new team

UK-based specialist lender Time Finance has announced its entry into the materials handling sector with a dedicated team led by Phil Blea, who has been appointed as regional sales manager. The move is part of the company's strategy to extend its asset finance solutions to new industry segments, particularly those reliant on heavy machinery and tools such as manufacturing and material storage. Blea's role will focus on developing Time Finance's presence in this market, with an emphasis on creating finance solutions that cater to a diverse range of credit profiles, including those with more complex financial backgrounds. He brings experience in asset lending and vendor finance, having earlier worked at Close Brothers and Linde. Time Finance expects Blea to support the growth of its hard asset offerings. Blea said: 'I am very excited to be joining Time Finance at such a crucial time. I'm thrilled to be playing a part in the company's move into the materials handling sector and the role it will play as the business embarks on its new three-year growth strategy, and I'm looking forward to helping build our presence in the market.' The move into the materials handling market is consistent with Time Finance's objective to increase its lending portfolio to more than £300m over the next three years. The company registered a 'record' lending figure of £217m for the year ending 31 May 2025. Time Finance provides various funding solutions to UK businesses, facilitating access to finance for growth initiatives. In addition to asset finance, the company offers invoice finance, business loans, and asset-based lending. Time Finance asset finance managing director Steve Nichols said: 'Establishing our specialist materials handling team forms an integral part of our wider growth strategy. 'By developing innovative sector funding, we are tailoring our asset finance and multi-product solutions for key sectors and supporting businesses as they grow. Phil will play a pivotal role in helping us to build our presence, and I'm delighted he has decided to join the team.'
