Page 16 • The HERALD • 20th June 2024 v SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL BUSINESSES v WATERSIDE NETWORK GROUP: MEMBER FOCUS by Simon Chadwick Allow me to introduce you to Mark Chapman of local business KlicKey. e ‘Klic’ of Klic-Key stands for Keys Locked In Car, although it’s as likely to be lost keys that Klic-Key have to deal with. Mark assists people across Hampshire, Dorset and Wiltshire who have, for some reason or another, got themselves into car trouble. Offering a 24-hour emergency vehicle locksmith service, Klic-Key regularly assist the AA, RAC and Green Flag in helping their members gain access to their cars in a nondestructive manner. Klic-Key is an independent company with over 30 years’ experience in the motor trade. It doesn’t have the overheads of the national companies so the savings are passed on to you. Mark is able to travel to wherever you are, whenever you need him. e most common call out for Mark is when the only key has been le within the vehicle, and the vehicle has been locked, usually by the car itself ‘thinking’ it has been le unlocked and abandoned. Having a second key would have saved a locksmith call out for non-destructive entry. Also, if anything happens to the only key then the vehicle essentially becomes a paperweight. A spare key is roughly half the price of replacing the only key so, while you have that one working key, check your spare! If needed, Mark can make one for you. Another bugbear of Mark’s is the peril of keyless ignition systems, and those that wish to exploit them. Mark recommends and can provide, Faraday pouches to shield your key’s signals from any ne’erdowells out there. So, for a friendly, polite and professional service, talk to Mark at Klic-Key using the contact details in the featured member box, opposite.

I’m invested in my clients’ happiness and satisfaction, ensuring every experience is packed with positive memories to last a lifetime. Many people think that having a professional travel consultant plan your holiday costs you extra. In fact, it doesn’t – the opposite is true. I have access to deals not available to the public, and where there is an advertised holiday, I can price match it. I can also o er you the reassurance that, should something go wrong, such as a ight cancellation, I will deal with the problem for you. On the Waterside, we are fortunate to have easy access to Bournemouth and Southampton Airports, both of which have announced new routes for 2025. We also have Southampton port for fantastic cruises – of which I’ve arranged countless bookings. Is it time for me to arrange yours? Whether it’s a traditional family holiday or something utterly bespoke – such as guided tours of the ‘Gorillas in the Mist’ in Uganda – I can help. And, remember, it doesn’t have to cost you more.
