The Wanted are all over Boys at Turf Moor

June 15th, 2011

Boy band “The Wanted” at Burney FC

B & E Boys have been advertising at “The Clarets” ground for many years now, witnessing the highs and the lows from the dug out. 

However a new high was reached the other week – well for the ladies – when boy band “The Wanted” took part in a charity match at Turf Moor, Burnley, home to the Clarets. However the event wasn’t without incident.

BFC were in the news after former Labour party spin doctor Alastair Campbell was allegedly involved in ugly scenes with one of The Wanted at a Soccer six charity match. However we are assured by everyone involved that it was just a bit of fun and not what it seemed.

We dont have a photo of the guys facing the camera – but I’m sure the ladies wont object to this cheeky shot!

February 10th, 2011

RSPCA sign 10 year lease on former Booze Buster, Bank Street Rawtenstall.

The RSPCA and B & E Boys have just reached an agrement for a 10 year lease of the former Booze Buster shop on Bank Street Rawtenstall. B & E Boys acquired the shop on Bank Street with Booze Buster who held a 10 year lease at the time. However a restructure at the cheap booze store meant many of it local stores were closed.

B & E Boys spent a substantial amount of money renovating the shop and the two bedroomed flat above and within 6 months both the flat and shop are now fully let. Boys have shops and flats located in Waterfoot and Bacup and saw the opportunity to acquire the Bank Street shop when Booze Buster sold off many of its local shops 6 years ago.

The RSPCA will open a charity shop on the popular Rossendale shopping area. Bank Street is home to the ill fated Valley Centre. The Valley Centre forms a large portion of the shopping area and requires significant investment to improve the retail facilities in the Town Centre. Council officials are working hard to ensure the current owners, CNC properties conclude proposals to redevelop the area which is widely publicised as one of the town centres bigget  ’eye sores’.

Kingfisher goes Solar.

February 7th, 2011

Kingfisher, Rawtenstall see the light with new solar panels.

Kingfisher Rawtenstall recently had Solar Panels installed – or Photo Voltaic cells and are now able to generate part of the electricity required to run the Serviced Office Space.

With rising energy prices Kingfisher were keen to protect their tenants from increasing financial pressure of rising electricity bills. Taking advantage of the new Feed In Tariff means the centre can now reduce the amount of electricity bought in ensuring that bills do not get any higher.

The £20,000 investment should pay for itself in under 10 years thanks to grant funding for low carbon energy generation.

Kingfisher which is part of the Boys Group of Companies is home to the first renewable energy project undertaken by the Group. Boys also have planning permission and Environment Agency licenses for a Hydro Turbine on the bank of the River Roche which bounds the J2 Business Park site. It is hoped that this project will be underway later in the year.
