In the decade since Dave Matheson opened Red Grill House and cocktail bar, the business has expanded to include tapas bar Tinto, Rosso pizzeria and Rouge, which serves wine, cheese and charcuterie. Dave has had a colourful and varied career all over the world, but the past two years have been the most challenging of his professional life, with both the pandemic and a fire that engulfed the premises to contend with. We grilled Dave to find out about him and his Red empire.

Did you always want to work in hospitality?

When I was 14 I watched ‘Cocktail’, and although I don’t have quite the dashing good looks of Tom Cruise, I did follow his path all the way through to working in exactly the same bar in Jamaica that appears in the film. Before that I did a gap year working in bars throughout Australia, then I went to Nottingham University to study philosophy. Whilst I was there I trained in cocktail bars and then I went on a six-month exchange programme called Work Jamaica – and stayed for five years.

What brought you back to Guernsey?

I was actually planning on opening a bar in the USA but I was there trying to sort out my visa application when 9/11 happened, so they shut down all immigration. I came back to Guernsey to reevaluate what I was going to do, and I opened Laska cocktail bar in 2001. We had a huge collection of rum which I brought back from the Caribbean, and when three years later I opened Hojo, a chef I’d worked with in Jamaica joined me and jerk chicken was one of our biggest sellers.

What inspired you to open Red Grill House?

In 2009 I moved to Bordeaux to learn how to make wine and that’s when everything shifted more towards wine. I was working for free, studying under a sommelier there and building up contacts, and I started to come up with the concept of Red.

I also did some training in a New York steakhouse. It was the hottest summer on record in the city, and I was stuck in a kitchen in front of these grills that were about 1000 degrees. It was a great experience to learn about the provenance of beef, the butchery and the cooking at high temperatures.

How important is the provenance of your beef?

We’re laser focused on the provenance of our beef. Guernsey beef is being done brilliantly in Alderney and Sark, and next week I’m going to a farm where they specialise in Hereford cattle and Middle White pork. We don’t buy beef from anywhere that I haven’t been to see. Sometimes we’ll get a specialist bit of beef like Japanese wagyu but even then, I’ve been to Kobe to make sure it’s the real deal. In this day and age people are a little bit wary of eating too much red meat, but my personal belief is that we should eat less beef, but better. It’s the same with wine – if you want to consume less alcohol drink less, but drink better.

It’s clear that quality is important to you

Probably about 30% of my week is spent resourcing and maintaining the quality of the products, whether it be the wine or the beef, or the fish for dishes at Tinto. We source local, seasonal ingredients where we can: for instance, at the moment it’s asparagus season, and we have an agreement with a farm here that grows stunning asparagus. You can’t just use local produce because it’s local, it has to be quality as well. Luckily, we have a huge amount of quality here, from the relishes that we use in Rouge to amazing chocolates and lovely fudge from the Hudge lady.

Are you still passionate about wine?

Extremely! Sourcing the wine is almost a full-time job: we have over 10,000 bottles, and more than 300 wines on the list. A wine list like that can be a bit daunting, but it’s all about taking the mystique and snobbishness out of it, and making people feel comfortable to take a chance. Thirty pounds or so is a lot of money to spend on a bottle of wine, and that’s one of the reasons why people stick to what they know. But we’ll say if you don’t like it, we’ll drink it, and we do about 25 different wines by the glass. I think that people want to talk about wine, but they don’t want to be bored by you. People often ask for recommendations and we have a lot of repeat customers, so we pay attention to what kind of wine they like and what kind of budget they normally go for. But it’s just communication – you don’t try to rip anyone off.

Can you tell us about the adversity you’ve faced over the past couple of years?

Rouge opened in December 2019 and three weeks later we had the fire and it turned our whole world upside down. When I found out we’d be closed for at least a year I was pretty devastated, but you can either give up or crack on. When we were hit by the pandemic, Rouge was a lifesaver. We were very fortunate, but we were also good at adapting. I was basically a delivery driver, and the staff adapted from what they normally do to slicing and packing cheese and boxing our wine. We learnt a lot – I’d refurbished restaurants before but we had to start from scratch. I think if we’d opened as a replica of what we were before the fire, our customers would have been a bit disappointed, and I would have been a bit disappointed. The industry has had to learn lessons too: people are interested in working in hospitality again, but employers have got to make sure that they’re paying people properly and treating them properly.

Does it ever feel too much, having four establishments?

I don’t know how big chefs have restaurants all over the globe and keep the standard – and sometimes they can’t. I only opened more places because they’re literally within walking distance so I can monitor them all the time. In hospitality, staffing is the trickiest problem but I’m extremely lucky in that I have a core team who have been with me for a long time: Marietta started 10 years ago as a part-time waitress, and now she’s General Manager of the group and runs Red. Then there’s Christophe, the Executive Chef, Benoit who runs Rouge, Emma who runs Tinto, and Alex who runs Rosso.

What’s next for you?

I love running restaurants, I’m really lucky to do what I love. But I’m just as passionate about the creative side of it too, and I take a lot of inspiration from going to other places and learning new things. I’d like to take a bit more time off to travel again – and to be able to source new wines, new cuts of beef and new dishes.

Guernsey has a thriving motorsports scene, with a full calendar of events. Two members of the Swoffers team – Local Market Negotiator Jess Bichard and General Administration Assistant Steph Best – talk about how they have pursued their love of cars and bikes on the island.

Anyone who has driven up the Val des Terres in St Peter Port or down to Petit Bot knows to keep their speed low with one foot on the brake. However, that’s not the case during the Hill Climb, where up to 100 cars, motorbikes and karts drastically exceed the island’s 35mph speed limit one by one, cheered on by family and friends.

One of these cars is driven by Swoffers’ own Jess Bichard. Having married into a racing family, Jess was supporting her husband, Matt, when she wondered what it would be like to have a go. ‘I thought it would be really good fun to take part myself, seeing as I was there all the time anyway. My sister-in-law ended up selling her race car to me, and I’ve now been doing it for three years.’

Steph Best was also influenced by her family’s love of motorsports. Her father raced motorbikes in his youth, as did his friends and their children. Steph was not an instant convert, however. ‘When I was younger, I used to dance, but I didn’t take it seriously and grew out of it. I wanted a something with a bit more pace. My parents were against me racing at first because they saw it as being too dangerous, but I knew it was something I wanted to do. I’ve been doing it for five years now, and my parents ended up buying me a bike.’

Jess recalls the first time she took part in the Hill Climb. ‘The only way I can explain it is if you’re lining up for a roller coaster and your palms are getting sweaty and you’ve got that intense feeling of nervous energy and excitement all at once. I’d say that I’m a good driver normally, but this is very different. I want to make sure I take the car home in one piece and more importantly, not break any bones. It can be quite scary at times.’

The Hill Climb is just one of the events organised by the local clubs. There is a sprint along Vazon coast road, whilst other disciplines – Motocross, Sand Racing and Autocross – make the most of the island’s beaches.

Steph races in the Motocross B group at Vazon, a bay which has a vast expanse of firm sand when the tide is out. Sand riding is a skill in itself, requiring a different technique to riding on any other surface. Steph can attest that you need to have a good level of fitness to compete. ‘I can just about finish a Motocross race, and I’m exhausted by the end of it,’ she says. ‘On the beach we only do five laps so we’re probably out there for four or five minutes. It might look easy just going around in a circle, but it is actually exercise. We’ve had up to 20 riders on the track and it’s quite narrow, especially on the infield when everyone’s switching and changing. It takes a lot of concentration to hold onto the bike – you’ve just got to hold on and hope for the best really.’

How far you take your chosen motorsport is up to you. Jess bought a new helmet when she started, but borrowed everything else from family and friends; now she is sponsored by her father and she has a brand new race suit. ‘Obviously you’ve got the general maintenance of your car, like you would with your normal road car. But you can then enhance it,’ she explains. ‘That said, you have to be careful; if you change the car too much, it could place you in a different category. We’re now looking at  getting another car that I can hopefully perform a little bit better in after having the year off.’

Steph reveals that she tends to rebuild her motorbike each year, depending on how much racing she has done. ‘Luckily I’ve got a lot of friends who do it for me,’ she adds. ‘I know the general bits and bobs but when it comes to taking the bike apart and putting it back together I leave that to the experts. If I do something wrong, I don’t want the responsibility for that!’

Both car and bike racing are male-dominated sports. The number of women taking part in the Hill Climb has increased in recent years, but Steph is one of only four female sand racers. They both agree, however, that they have received nothing but support. Jess says: ‘There is an element of competition but if something goes wrong with your car, somebody will be running along with the toolbox to help you out – it’s just good camaraderie. Everyone has been really welcoming and actually pushing for more women to take part. It’s nice to see that it’s open to all.’

‘When I first started it was me and 16 boys,’ adds Steph. ‘It was intimidating at first but it was quite easy to slot in and I think they want as much support as they can because they know it will improve the sport for everyone.’

Both feel that their participation in motorsport has given them more confidence in themselves, which benefits them in all aspects of their lives – including work. ‘If I do something wrong there’s a commentator saying, “Oh she’s on the wrong side of the road”, so you do have to have that confidence about you to go for it anyway and make quick decisions,’ says Jess. ‘Because we live in a place that is very community focused, suddenly you’re in the paper, you’re on the website, spectators hear your name over the commentary.’

‘It has helped me to put myself out there more and increase my confidence,’ agrees Steph.

It also provides for interesting office conversation on a Monday morning. ‘It’s nice to have someone else you can chat about it with,’ says Steph. ‘It’s good to have a hobby in general, something that you’re doing outside of work aside from your normal socialising or what you’re doing with your family.’

Justin Bellinger is a man with a mission.

As chief executive of Sure, the island’s biggest telecommunications company, he is at the helm of the team which aims to make Guernsey an ultra-fast internet paradise. The £37.5m. project called Guernsey Fibre is already underway and all island homes should be connected by the end of 2026. Mr Bellinger said it was the biggest project and biggest change in the island’s domestic telecommunications infrastructure for 125 years.

‘It’s ubiquitous and equitable, which means that it’s going to get to every property on the island and it will be at exactly the same price,’ he said.

‘The timing is perfect, we were always going to do it, but it would have taken longer if we hadn’t partnered with government, the partnership means that we can do it all in the next five years to 100% of all premises, which is pretty cool. In terms of features and benefits it’s an absolute state of the art network which will keep us going for many, many generations to come.

‘Every time you double broadband connectivity speeds you should expect to see an increase in GDP per capita of around 0.3%, but with full fibre network that increase in GDP per capita goes up to between 1.1 and 1.3%.

‘So, this investment will see a boost to the island long-term prospects as well as in the short term.’

Put simply, the project is replacing copper lines with fibre optic cables. Copper lines use electrical signals to transmit data, but fibre uses pulses of light which means it can provide boosted speeds. The investment will offer the opportunity to all, of 1 gigabit-per-second internet speed. To put that into perspective, a gigabit is 1,000 megabits, and basic broadband speed on the island is currently around 20 megabits. Or in other words, it will be 50 times faster than today’s basic speed.

People happy with their current internet speed might wonder what all the fuss is about. The reality is that technology is changing very fast, for instance there could be new forms of face-to-face communication, holograms could become a thing, and virtual reality and the metaverse. Satellite broadcasters are now increasingly using the internet to get into our lounges. Netflix, Amazon Prime, Spotify, Apple Plus, Discovery Plus and many others are all producing richer content with higher definition.

All of that means that Guernsey will be future-proofing itself for these changes. Businesses and schools in Guernsey have already had the option of fibre internet since the early 2000s, but the pandemic has accelerated the culture of working from home. For many of our overseas clients at Swoffers, internet speed is key. Fibre is the holy grail, and this ultimate goal is well on track.

Mr Bellinger said working on Guernsey Fibre was the highlight of his career.

‘I’m a Guernseyman, and this is probably the biggest change that I’ve been able to effect in our community and it means a lot to me.

‘Before this I was instrumental in setting up the online gambling industry, which did a bit for Guernsey, but it didn’t help my mum out, or my auntie and uncle, or my cousins or my friends down the Legion or whatever.

‘This is making a big difference and I’m really chuffed to be involved in it.’

Mr Bellinger is happy to admit that he’s a ‘bit of a geek’ when it comes to technology, and even geeks need to get away from screens sometimes. To relax he goes out on his ‘shang (the Guernsey word for bicycle). Since the first lockdown he has completed a personal challenge to ride down every road in the island, and Alderney and Sark too.

‘I don’t own any lycra, but I’ve got camo shorts, a pair of sunnies, and a bottle of gin in my panniers.’

 

‘I feel it because we can see it,’ says Helen Young as she sits on one of the island’s beautiful west coast beaches, and explains the inspiration for her green, ethical lifestyle.

Helen is one of Guernsey’s new generation of ‘good lifers’ who have thrown off the shackles of the rat race and ‘normal’ modern living.

In 2017 she launched the charity Plastic Free Guernsey to reduce the island’s consumption of single use plastic. The island may be small, she says, but it can also be mighty.

‘The idea behind Plastic Free Guernsey was I realised how little people know about recycling, that recycling is not the perfect answer,’ she said.

‘By doing it, it’s helped me learn a lot and you realise that we have to try to cut down on what we’re using, every bit of plastic that has ever been produced is still out there, which is horrific.

‘Bringing a little person into the world made me even more aware of that.’

Her daughter Olive is playing with her pre-loved dinosaurs in the sand, along with a gentle instruction not to accidentally lose them. She is well-schooled in the re-use concept and is delighted with her fourth-hand school uniform, and sometimes asks about the children who have read or played with the books and toys before her.

‘I actively involve her, whether it’s planting, whether it’s cleaning the beach, picking up litter, not wasting things, recycling – but it’s talking to kids in a way without giving them too much eco-anxiety. They see the little bits they can do, and they work on that and build up, but they mustn’t think they’ve got to do it all.’

Strong communities have sprung up in Guernsey in recent years to encourage greater respect of the environment. For instance, when a cargo spill earlier this year resulted in thousands of plastic products washing up on island beaches, an army of beachcombers leapt into action and picked up the rubbish, demanding accountability from the company responsible. Repair cafes and clothes swaps have popped up to challenge the throwaway culture.

Helen said there were some good island networks, although they were mainly populated by women.

‘It’s not always easy to reach those people, but when you have reached them, they are very encouraging. It is mainly women, from the Plastic Free Guernsey people, I think 80% or more are women, and the team that run it we’re all women, and we don’t know how to get more men onboard.’

Some men were mentioned in despatches, but they tend to operate more as lone wolves, whereas the women like to club together. Environmentalism runs through Helen’s lifestyle, for instance she makes reusable face wipes, kitchen roll, sanitary towels, and fruit and vegetable produce bags. She loves a second, third or fourth-hand bargain, and has grown her own vegetables and fruits for the past 14 years.

‘You don’t have to be green-fingered; I grow whatever I throw in the ground really, it’s quite experimental, it’s not always that reliable, but it’s enjoyable getting your hands in the dirt,’ said Helen.

This year’s bounty includes potatoes, raspberry canes that have gone ‘absolutely bananas’, cabbages, broccoli, onions, tomatoes, and courgettes. The proof of the pudding is in the tasting, and Olive declares, after some contemplating, that her mum is a good cook, and her best dish is ‘spaghetti carbonara’.

Plastic Free Guernsey’s next project is a coffee cup deposit scheme, which aims to replace disposable cups in the island with reusable mugs. Helen is more than happy to point out that she is not perfect, and that no one can be 100% sustainable.

But as a relatively affluent island, she hopes that Guernsey can do its bit.

‘Those of us who are privileged enough to be able to choose to live more sustainably and can afford to make those choices, we are the ones who should.

‘Living on an island it’s impossible not to see the effects, you can’t not see it.’

 

 

 

 

At Swoffers we are extremely proud of our colleagues and the work they do for local charities. Today we want to put the spotlight on our Senior Property Manager, Nikki Trebert.

She’s best known in the island for her haul of 21 Island Games medals for shooting. But what you might not know about Nikki is that she is also an Ambassador for the Priaulx Premature Baby Foundation.

The foundation offers a range of help to families who are going through immensely difficult times with a premature baby or sick child. For instance, it manages two apartments near Princess Anne Hospital in Southampton – Aggie’s Burrow and Isaac’s Pad – providing families with a home away from home.  This month (November) marks the 19th birthday of the charity and a #BuyANight campaign is being launched to help keep these lifeline properties running.

Nikki became involved with the foundation after her daughter was born and needed a short stay in the Guernsey intensive care special baby unit. Nikki herself was ill in intensive care when she received a gift from the charity.

‘My daughter wasn’t premature, but because she was receiving special care they sent me a book with photos to show me how she was doing. I wasn’t really aware of the charity before that, it really meant a lot to me so that’s why I wanted to get involved.’

Early on, Nikki was able to provide her Swoffers-honed property skills and helped with the compassionate housing in Southampton. Nowadays, she’s ‘happy and honoured’ to be an Ambassador helping out at fundraising events. She particularly enjoys get-togethers with all the families.

‘It’s incredible and so rewarding to see how children have developed from being sometimes very poorly and born very premature, to all grown up. Often it doesn’t matter if you’re born premature, you can achieve anything, it’s amazing to see how it doesn’t hold children back.

‘It’s not just premature babies that we aim to help, there are also sick children whose families need support to get through the tough times. When Swoffers asked us all to find a charity that we wanted to work with, I already knew that my answer was the PPBF. I always know that work will support me if I need to go off and help with anything they need.’

Since its launch in 2003, the foundation has raised well over £1m. and the money is used to buy equipment for the Guernsey neonatal unit. This has included ventilators, an incubator, a cerebral monitor, and training aids such as an advanced simulator doll. There are many smaller, but just as important items that have been given to the unit such as breast pumps, relaxing chairs, and a much-used camera printer.

The charity also puts together baby boxes for the new mums of premature babies. These contain small nappies and clothing like hand-knitted hats because it can be difficult to find small enough outfits.

Local market house prices have risen by 19% year-on-year.

The latest Guernsey Residential Property Bulletin, for the third quarter of 2021, shows the mix adjusted average house price at the end of September was £554,290. It has to be noted that the mix adjusted price is a measure of the value of the sales during the quarter, not a reflection of the values of individual properties.

Compared with the previous quarter, the average price has risen by 9.6%.

‘Whilst these sound like big price increases, there are a number of factors that affect the mix adjusted average price. A number of high value transactions can skew the overall final figures somewhat. For example, last year there were around 35 Local Market sales over £1m and this year we are already over 60 and counting,’ said Local Market Director, Andre Austin.

‘It was widely anticipated these figures would be high because of the unprecedented level of demand and extremely low stock levels. We expect the last quarter to be a little quieter as we move into the winter, and going into 2022 we hope to see increased stock levels across all markets to satisfy demand.’

There were 285 Local Market transactions between July and September – 12 fewer than the previous quarter and 8 more than the same quarter of 2020. On the Open Market, there were 36 sales in the third quarter of 2021.  The raw median price (realty only) of those Open Market sales was £1.35m.

‘Demand remains high and we expect that to continue into next year. Guernsey is clearly becoming an increasingly attractive relocation destination,’ added Open Market Director, Shauna Clapham.

Properties sold more quickly in Q3 than in previous quarters. This has been a developing trend for the last few years.

‘It comes as no surprise to us to hear that the average time between a property becoming available for purchase and the time of its sale has been decreasing. The shortage of stock has meant that people have become much quicker at making their decision to buy, due to a fear of losing out to another buyer,’ said Mr Austin.

The mix adjusted average rental price for Local Market properties was £1,599 in the third quarter of 2021, 0.4% higher than the previous quarter and 16.2% higher than the third quarter of 2020.

In line with States of Guernsey’s recommendations, Swoffers’ negotiators will carry face coverings with them on viewings and when conducting valuations. Homeowners and clients can feel free to ask our members of staff, who will also observe social distancing, to wear a mask on a visit.
Yesterday the CCA announced a number of recommendations in response to rising Covid-19 case numbers and hospital admissions.
Face coverings are now strongly recommended in the following settings/instances:

• Where physical distancing is not possible
• Where there is poor ventilation
• Where there are close crowds, or where individuals need to work in very close proximity with colleagues, service users or customers.

‘We have followed strict hygiene procedures throughout the pandemic, and want to do all we can to help protect vulnerable islanders and the healthcare system,’ said Swoffers director, Spencer Noyon.
‘Our members of staff have been doing regular lateral flow tests for some time now and routinely wash or sanitise their hands.’

If you are attending a viewing or selling your home with Swoffers, please feel free to request that our negotiators wear a face covering.

Local football clubs St Martin’s AC and Northerners AC, and the GFA training base, now have defibrillators on site thanks to three local businesses.

Swoffers, Clicksmith and Spike Productions pledged to ensure that every club in the island had access to the life-saving equipment, after Danish player Christian Eriksen collapsed during his Euro 2020 match against Finland after suffering a cardiac arrest.

Checks found that the grounds at Northfield and Blanche Pierre Lane and the GFA at Victoria Avenue were without defibrillators.

‘Swoffers works closely with Clicksmith and Spike Productions and after seeing what happened on the pitch back in June we were keen to do something together locally. The immediate assistance of the medical team in the Euros match showed just how important this equipment is. There is no time to spare in a situation like that,’ said Swoffers director Andre Austin.

The Cardiac Action Group Community Resuscitation Development Officer Mike Froome said: ‘In the event of a cardiac arrest every second counts.Thanks to Spike Productions, Swoffers and Clicksmith, three more lifesaving 24-hour Public Access Defibrillators (PAD), will be available to help reduce the time delay between cardiac arrest and shock, and increase the number of people able to respond to out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, making 120 PAD sites in the Bailiwick.’

Gary Roberts from the Guernsey Football Association thanked the three businesses for their support.

‘This now ensures that each local football club in Guernsey has one of these machines located at its ground, and which are also accessible to the general public,’ said Mr Roberts.

‘As the world saw first-hand during the recent European Football Championships, defibrillators are vitally important in helping to save the life of someone experiencing a sudden cardiac arrest, including when playing football.

‘These new defibrillators ensure that the local grassroots football community – and wider island community – have greater access to what could be life-saving equipment, and on behalf of Guernsey football, I would like to thank Swoffers, Spike Productions and Clicksmith for this support.’

Ben Hunter from St Martin’s AC added: ‘We are very thankful to be able to have this at our football club, it will be great for all members of the club or the community to be able to use if ever needed.
We have more than 300 people using the club during a week, so to have access to this will be lifesaving if ever required.’

The CRDO is working with all the football clubs and other venues delivering the free PAD site awareness, CPR & AED training sessions. CAG also offers this free training across the island throughout the year particularly for Restart a Heart week, which starts today and runs until Saturday. Swoffers staff completed their training this morning.
Places are limited and anyone wanting to attend these free sessions are asked to phone 07781 129539 or email info@cag.org.gg to book their place; sessions are also available outside of Restart a Heart Week.

SWOFFERS’ staff are going greener, with two new e-bikes.

The bikes are available for all staff members to use for viewings, valuations and deliveries.

‘Town traffic is notorious, particularly at peak times of the day. With these electric bikes, negotiators and those doing deliveries will be able to get to appointments much easier, without the need to scrabble around for parking. They will also help to reduce our carbon footprint,’ said director Andre Austin.

‘They’re already proving very popular with staff, especially on sunnier days. We hope that they will help to increase activity levels and offer an environmentally-friendly alternative to getting behind the wheel.’

The arrival of the bikes is perfectly timed, as today is National Cycle To Work Day – the UK’s biggest cycle commuting event.

Swoffers will be offering viewings by horseback as part of a new initiative aimed at reducing their carbon footprint. Planning has been approved at their office to convert existing parking into stables, and initially four horses will be available to customers who want to be at one with nature and view properties at a more leisurely pace. The horses are called Avril, Tonto, Shergar and Flossie, and customers will be able to choose their ride depending on their height and weight, in line with States’ guidelines.

Managing director Craig Whitman said: ‘We’ve already started replacing our company cars with electric vehicles but we wanted to take it a stage further. Although the horses are not completely free of emissions, particularly Flossie, it’s a step in the right direction, sometimes you have to trot before you can gallop.’

Customers will be able to request viewings by horseback when they book an appointment.

‘We recommend they should allow at least three hours for viewings in Torteval,’ added Craig.

‘But life is so hectic at times we think there will be a real appetite to see houses on horses and enjoy the island this way. There are bound to be a few neigh sayers, but we’re sure it’s also going to be really popular with fellow road users.’

Horseback viewings will be available from today.
