20 years of Filming

Mark Stuart began the business as a sole trader in 1991, filming weddings and doing corporate video work whilst still working full time as an Electrical Engineer. Due to the volume of work and editing time, Mark gave up his Engineering job in 2003 and went full-time into filming and editing. Mark hasn’t looked back and has, since then, been flat out doing predominantly weddings and a small amount of corporate work. In that period DVD has come along increased the quality and appeal of wedding films and now Blu-ray HD is doing the same. Since going full time he has been fortunate to have won seven national awards and been ranked by the Institute of Videography among the top 5 UK wedding film makers. www.ms-films.co.uk
De-Zireable Way to Break a Record

De-Zireable way to break the record!
A North-east lingerie boutique has broadened its charitable efforts and is on the hunt for unwanted lingerie at the hope of helping to break the Guinness World Record for the longest bra chain.
De-Zire of Inverurie who are stockists of exclusive brands including Curvy Kate, Lejaby and Aubade are urging women of the North-east to have a good old rummage through their lingerie drawers to dig out those no longer wanted bras and to donate them in order to raise funds for Breakthrough Breast Cancer.
The record for the longest bra chain is currently held by Australia setting the record at an impressive 166,000 linked bras, the UK campaign aim to smash the record and have set a competitive target of 200,000 bras.
Managing Director of De-Zire, Susan Evans said: “I was delighted when I was approached by Breakthrough Breast Cancer to help the campaign as the work they do for women is vital. I would love for the women of the North-east to have a good rake in their lingerie drawers as we are all guilty of holding on to those ill fitting, unloved and unwanted bras so what better time to have a clear out, after all having a clear out gives us ladies an excuse to treat ourselves to some new lingerie.”
De-Zire has set their own target for the campaign and is hoping to contribute 1000 bras to the campaign. All the bras donated to the campaign will be recycled to Women’s Aid, textile recycling and five pence per bra will be donated to Breakthrough Breast cancer.
If you have unwanted bras that you are willing to donate for this worthy cause then donations can be made to De-Zire, 8 West High Street, Inverurie or to Frasermedia 19a Chattan Place, Aberdeen.
