Preston, Lancashire (ORE UK) 11 March, 2008 -- Golden Living, part of Woodford Group PLC, has published the first issue of its brand new magazine, The Times... of Your Life.

The quarterly magazine is an entertaining and informative blend of news, opinion and features written for people who are approaching or already are of retirement age.

It also offers the latest updates and information about Golden Living's range of quality and stylish retirement apartment developments.

Trevor Walters Thompson, Managing Director of Golden Living, said: "The Times... of Your Life is a brilliant way for Golden Living to communicate with anyone who's interested in retirement living and the benefits it offers.  Not only does it contain a plethora of information it's also an entertaining read."

The first issue features an interview with British TV icon Wendy Craig in which she looks back on her career and explains why she endorses Golden Living's retirement apartments.

As part of her ambassadorial role the star of hits including 'Butterflies' and 'Nanny' will make personal appearances at the official opening of every Golden Living development.

The launch of The Times... of Your Life is the latest step for the Leeds-based company on the road to the opening of its Nunthorpe development.

Roseberry Mews will open in the spring and will be followed by Ancholme Mews in Brigg, Lincolnshire later in the year.

Mr Walters Thompson continued: "Having Wendy onboard is excellent and something I am very happy about. She is the perfect ambassador for Golden Living because she exudes professionalism and has a fondness in the hearts of the British public."   

To round off the preparations for the Nunthorpe opening Golden Living recently launched its new website.

The site offers comprehensive information about all of the company's current and proposed developments including satellite images showing the amenities that are available in the local area.

The website can also be used to generate tailored directions from any location in the UK to any of Golden Living's current or proposed sites.
