In association with Shell UK, Stanlow

Community News

Stanlow provides jobs for around 800 Shell people and a large number of contractorson site on a regular basis. Their salaries provide a boost for the local economies ofthe north west and help create further employment.



SHELL Stanlow stepped-in to

ensure a sociable summer for

a group of older residents in

Ellesmere Port.

The company rst joined forces

with Age Concern Cheshire last

year to deliver a series of trips,

treats and visits for pensioners in the Ellesmere Port area. The scheme has proved to

be a huge success and has provided numerous fun days out since its launch. This yearvisits have included canal boat trips from the Ellesmere Port Boat Museum, outings to

Llandudno, West Kirby, and the Anderton Boat Lift in Northwich as well as treats such as

facials, manicures and massages.

Shell public affairs advisor Rachel Evans joined a group of local older people during an

organised party at the Whitby Sports and Social Club in Ellesmere Port. Partygoers

enjoyed a game of prize bingo and were entertained by a professional singer whilst they

tucked into a tasty lunch.

Rachel said: We are thrilled to team up with Age Concern Cheshire. They do some

fantastic work nationally as well as locally within our neighbouring communities.

This scheme will provide an excellent opportunity for our local older residents to get outthere and meet people and have a fun time whilst in a safe and friendly environment. The

party was a perfect example of this and it was also lovely to meet a number of former

Stanlow employees and talk about how the site has changed over the years.

Pictured enjoying the party atmosphere at the Whitby Sports and Social Club event

are, from left, Shell pensioner and former Stanlow public relations manager Nick

Nichols, Rachel Evans and Valerie Nichols.

Sometimes in life, you have to hit rock bottombefore you can get up and start to

make the changes you need to and

thats what happened to me.

I was always a big lad, and during my late

20s and early 30s, my weight started to get

to me. I was always in and out of hospital

for tests on my heart and I was suffering

from frequent blackouts problems that

were both attributable to my weight.

Four years ago, a mental breakdown

again, a knock-on effect of my obesity

cost me my career, my 14-year marriage

and very nearly my life. In January 2007,

when my wife and I nally separated, I

was the biggest Id ever been and to

be honest, a bit of a mess. I knew I

needed to lose weight, and saw

an advertisement for Slimming

World but I kept putting it offby making one excuse after

another. Finally, one Thursday, I

nally mustered the strength to

walk through those doors at my local group and its the best thing I ever did.

Straight away, I got an amazing welcome and a great sense of belonging plus the

help I got from my local Consultant and the other members at group was incredible. In

my rst week, I lost 7 lbs and immediately achieved my half-stone award, then the

week later, I lost another 6lbs to win Slimmer of the Week. The sense of motivation was

incredible and its changed my whole outlook on life.

Now I go to the gym regularly and cook healthy Food Optimising meals for myself.My depression and anxiety have almost completely disappeared and Ive regained the

condence I need to get back to work I feel as though the worlds my oyster! In just

15 weeks, Ive lost nearly 4 stones and 8 inches off my waist. In 2007, I really felt like

Useless Man of the Year, but now Ive just won our groups Man of the Year 2008.

What an amazing feeling!

So, in a nutshell, thank you to Slimming World, my consultant and everyone at group.

You have in no uncertain terms saved my life.

with a scroll granting them

Freedom of the Borough.

The 22nd (Cheshire)

Regiment had a long-

standing link to Ellesmere

Port and Neston having

been awarded the

Freedom of the Borough

in 1986.

However, in September

2007 the Cheshires

merged with the

Staffordshire and the

Worcestershire and

Sherwood Foresters

Regiments to form The

Mercian Regiment.

As a result, 1st Battalion

The 22nd (Cheshire)

Regiment became 1st

Battalion The Mercian

Regiment (Cheshire), thus

retaining its proud link with

Cheshire in its title.

Cllr Butcher, said: Itis a great honour to

welcome the servicemen

and women to Ellesmere

Port and to grant the

new Mercian Regiment

Freedom of the Borough.

Regiment are on the march
