Slimline pizzas score hole in one

Calorie-conscious members were licking their lips with anticipation when samples of the new slimline range of pizzas were served up at Horsham’s Pizza Express.

Launched in association with WeightWatchers, the leggera pizzas are not quite a pizza, not quite a salad, said Jenna Maynard, the East Street restaurant’s new manager. “Light, fresh and different, they are a pizza with a hole in the middle. We’ve removed the centre of the dough and put a fresh salad back in its place.”

Jenna had just completed a hefty stint of training up restaurant staff in new management software systems now being rolled out across the chain.

“I started at Pizza Express as a waitress nine years ago and have grown up a bit in that time,” Jenna announced, adding: “I’m really behind what Business Builder Club is doing here and want to work closely with the Club to develop the relationship further still.”

The feedback from members was a resounding vote of confidence that she will continue where her predecessor Paul Sims left off.

Welcome to Horsham.

Gong for Bellringer

“This is the first networking event I have ever attended,” declares a delighted Anne, who earlier had presented on the Horsham in Bloom (HIB) initiative in her capacity as its new chair.

“The Club is an excellent way for businesses to communicate with each other,” she adds “and I’m looking forward to the next event very much.”

HIB chair since January, Anne was vice-chair since 2003 so knows all the benefits that the scheme can offer for the business community.

“It is not too late for local businesses to sponsor a Horsham in Bloom

railing planter (£85 + VAT) or a hanging basket (£55 + VAT), but please

could orders be with us by 29 May. The cost includes logo board, plants, container, watering and maintenance from June to September,” adds Anne.
