On His Bike! Alan with customer Futoshi Sato in 2006. Futoshi spent the rest of the summer travelling around UK/Europe on his bicycle, bought during his time in Liverpool. Sadly, he had a terrible accident in Paris, where he was badly injured and had to have major surgery to reconstruct his leg. He is now fully recovered, and started his new career in banking in Japan in April 2008. Thanks for coming back to Liverpool to see me, Futoshi.

Hope Students Meet John Lennon! As part of their first day as members of the BA(QTS) Course, 30 students new to Liverpool enjoyed a guided tour of the city, given by Alan Williams of Red Jack Tours. Taking in the major sites of Liverpool, including the Albert Dock, St Georges Hall and the two Cathedrals, the group can be seen in Mathew Street with Alan and the statue of John Lennon.
