New Dorset based Introductions Agency woos singles with late summer offer and a refreshingly traditional approach!

A Dorset couple is bucking the trend for online dating with a new local introductions service that not only provides a friendly and secure service for singles looking for their perfect match, but also does it at a reasonable cost with a special late summer discount of 50% for those wanting to find a partner.

David and Sharon Gilbert commented, "We both worked in the hospitality sector for many years and recently ran a successful restaurant in Poole. We were always meeting lots of different people and often played a matchmaker role in bringing people together. At the beginning of the year we decided to turn our skill for matching people into a proper business."

The couple did lots of research and found that there were very few businesses catering for singles that had either tried online dating and become disillusioned in the process or were too scared to take the risks of dating a stranger from an online site.

At Bespoken Introductions every single client is interviewed by David and Sharon and the couple always visit the client's house and verify their identity to ensure they are genuine. They have also devised their own questionnaire which they go through with the client. Sharon says, "The questionnaire is really just a starting point as there are no right or wrong answers, but it helps us to really dig below the surface and find out what a client really wants from a potential partner." She explains that they will also provide date coaching and personal guidance when a client is unsure or needs support in taking those first steps towards a new relationship.

David, who is a second generation matchmaker - his father ran an introduction agency in the late 1980s - says, "We handpick potential partners and take tremendous care that our clients are matched socially and have kindred moral values. We know there is someone for everyone, sometimes the match is simple but other times you just have to dig a little deeper - our extensive interview techniques get to the truth of our client's character and it is this truth that we work with."

There are no fixed age ranges with the youngest on the books aged 28 and the eldest aged 70. Geographically Bespoken Introductions covers Dorset and parts of its bordering counties in Somerset and Hampshire, but is eventually aiming to bring its particular brand of matchmaking to the whole of the UK.

Membership fees are simple and transparent with no hidden extras. The price is an all-inclusive £395 for six months membership which covers the personal meetings and interview process; a professionally written profile, quality photographs for a client's profile, date coaching and personal guidance if required, and a selection of expertly matched introductions. The late summer discount reduces this to just £200.
