| Best R18 ETO Award for Fallen starring Jessica Drake
Permalink
|
From
www.nicennaughty.co.uk
|
 The
Wicked Pictures' spectacular film presentation, Fallen, has won
the Best R18 DVD Award at this year's ETO Show held at the NEC in
Birmingham.
Starring Jessica Drake and Brad Armstrong, Fallen is a four disc
extravaganza, superbly packaged and rich in extras. An erotic
masterpiece comes to life as the movie tells the tale of a fallen
Angel (Jessica Drake) who has been banished to Earth and stripped of
her wings after the accidental death of the young woman she was sent to
watch over.
 Alone
and desperate for companionship, she finds it in the city's seedy
underworld, far from the idyllic heavens she once knew. On her dark
journey through sinful and perverse places, she discovers a glimmer of
light in Keith (Brad Armstrong), a handsome mortal.
The question is.... can Angel regain her wings or has she fallen for the
last time, doomed to live out her days trapped in the purgatory she now
calls home? Fallen is distributed exclusively in the U.K. by Nice
'n' Naughty Wholesale and you can find out the answer to Angel's
predicament at any of Nice 'n' Naughty's stores in Aberystwyth, Bangor,
Bolton, Brighton, Bristol, Chester, Leeds, Liverpool (2), Manchester,
Newcastle-upon-Tyne, Southport, Warrington, Wednesbury, Wigan.
Nice 'n' Naughty director, Simon Prescott, commented, Fallen
is an unforgettable film with mind-blowing sex scenes and a screenplay
that delivers 'till the very last frame so I can understand why it's won
this prestigious award. I'd very much like to express my gratitude to
everyone who voted for it.

 Nice
n Naughty Director, Simon Prescott, has successfully completed the
London Marathon.
The Virgin London Marathon is one of the great British sporting
events, combining elite athletics, mass participation and
record-breaking fundraising in one race. The course is a gruelling 26
miles 385 yards long, passing through the streets of London from
Blackheath to the famous finish line at The Mall.
Simon spoke of his achievement:
I managed to complete the
marathon without passing out! It was an amazing, very challenging and
towards the end painful experience, but one for lots of reasons I will
never forget.
I managed to run for 22
miles without walking then stretched and walked for a couple of
hundred yards then ran to the end-26.2 miles clocking a near course
record of 5 hours, 5 mins, 37 seconds! (only 180 minutes behind the
winner)
Thank you for your very
generous sponsorship donations, they will go to a very worth charity
which is close to myself and Trish.
For anyone still wishing to donate a few quid then
please visit

 Simon's
chosen beneficiary is a very
worthwhile charity - Vitalise, which provides respite breaks and other
essential services for disabled people, visually impaired people, and
carers.
Thousands of disabled people in the UK have complicated medical and
care requirements that can make taking even a short break incredibly
difficult and costly to arrange. Vitalise Centres across the UK make a
real difference through their accessible respite care and short breaks.
Guests can spend their time in a supportive and safe environment while
carers can take some much needed time off from their 24 hour a day role.

| Complaints about Alan Titchmarsh Show item about sex toys
Permalink
|
From
www.nicennaughty.co.uk
|
 After
internet complaints about the featuring of two items from Nice n Naughty,
a leading adult toy retailer, on the Alan Titchmarsh Show. Nice n
Naughty has commented in support of both the show and the specific feature which
contained the items.
The show went out at 5pm on Wednesday the 10th of February and was part of a pre
Valentine's Day special.
The controversy was caused when the show featured a piece of sexual furniture
called the Inflatable Tilt Master and a sexual aid called the Advanced Clitoral
Pump, which some viewers deemed inappropriate for this type of show.
 Trish
Murray, Director of Nice n Naughty comments, This type of product is
always going to cause controversy with some people but the complaints which have
been made are unfounded. We at Nice 'n' Naughty feel that the show handled the
issues discussed in an appropriate manner and was definitely suitable for a
mainstream audience.
The sex toy industry has become mainstream within the UK with over 2.5 million
sex toys sold every year and an annual growth in the market place of 20%+ year
on year.
Trish went on to suggest that by featuring such products, the show has in fact
done a public service by raising the issue of sexuality and relationships
within a mainstream forum.
Nice n Naughty has been an on and offline retailer of adult toys and
adult fun since 1999, and have an open and honest approach to a couple friendly
adult industry. Their website says: Our Mission is to help people enjoy
completely fulfilling sexual relationships by stimulating their imaginations and
giving them the opportunity to try different, exciting experiences and break
down taboos.

Belfry hotel, Birmingham.
Among the categories of this prestigious event were Adult Retailer of the
year 2005 which went to Melon Farmers' sponsors, Nice N Naughty, beating off
competition from Anne Summers as well as the other 5 short listed companies.

respected and acknowledged by our peers.
Congratulations to Nice N Naughty

Nice 'n' Naughty, Nice t' Staff
A Chester-based sex shop chain has become the first business in the adult
industry to receive an Investors in People award. Nice 'n' Naughty,, which has
branches throughout the North West and North Wales, won the internationally
recognised accolade after eight months of assessments of working conditions.
Director Simon Prescott said the company's achievement signalled that mainstream
attitudes to the sex industry were changing: It's unheard of for an adult
company to get an Investors in People award, so we are made up. The assessors
were impressed with the way we treat our staff. They get good wages, conditions,
health benefits and even gym membership. So it's easy for us to attract
good-quality staff.
Hopefully this award will break down barriers and change people's perceptions of
sex shops as seedy back street premises with boarded-up windows. Our shops are
nothing like that. They are clean and our managers are dressed in corporate
uniform. We wanted to create an atmosphere in which couples would feel
comfortable.

Adult Retailer of the Year 2006
Expanding
adult retailer Nice n Naughty is celebrating back-to-back ‘Oscars’ success
after securing a prestigious industry accolade for the second year running.

beating rivals such as Ann Summers to repeats last year’s stunning success.
The high profile awards are voted for by the industry itself and are
attended by a vast range of adult suppliers, wholesalers and retailers from

Delighted Company Founder, Simon Prescott explained:
To win this award
for a second consecutive year is fantastic and demonstrates the high quality
of our modern and appealing stores and also our friendly and knowledgeable
staff. This award is voted for by the industry itself so is extremely
gratifying to realise we are so well respected and acknowledged by our
peers. Also I think its right that the public should realise when they shop
at Nice N Naughty they are buying from the officially recognised, best adult
retail shops in the U.K.

Adult Retailer of the Year 2007
Champage corks have been popping for
the UK’s fastest growing adult store after it firm claimed the Retailer
of the Year title for the third year running.
There were cries of delight from the team and the loudest cheer of the
evening from the audience as the Nice N Naughty team rushed to collect
the sought after prize at the Erotic Trade Only (ETO) awards, held at
Birmingham NEC.
The rapidly expanding company, which has grown from humble beginnings in
Chester to an 11-store business empire, beat off competition from five
other short listed companies to seize the title and company directors
Simon Prescott and Trish Murray are thrilled at winning.
It’s absolutely incredible,
said Simon: I was so nervous, it’s
the most sought after award, like the best film category at the Oscars.
The tension was unbelievable and when they read out our name I just
couldn’t believe it. To have won it twice was fantastic but to get the
treble is unheard of.
The award is voted for by the industry itself and it’s the second time
Nice ‘n’ Naughty, which is the only adult store accredited with the
prestigious Investor in People Award, has beaten, amongst others, high
street retailer Anne Summers to the coveted title.
Trish added:
It’s such an achievement to think where we are today
from where we started eight years ago to the day next week. When we
opened the Chester branch on July 31st 1999 we really, really struggled
but the public’s attitude has changed. This award is voted for by the
industry itself its great to know we are so well respected and
acknowledged by our peers. But it demonstrates the high quality of our
modern and appealing stores and also our friendly and knowledgeable
staff.

Jenson Button isn't the only recent British winner of a major
international trophy because Nice 'n' Naughty also kept the flag flying by
winning the coveted European E-line award for Best Retailer of 2009. The
good news was announced at a prestigious gala dinner in Berlin attended by
all the leading players in the European adult industry. This is the second
year in succession that Nice 'n' Naughty has been recognised on the
European stage, having been voted Best Retail Chain in 2008.
Nice 'n' Naughty directors, Simon Prescott and Trish Murray, received
the award on behalf of the company. Afterwards a delighted Simon
commented, I'm over the moon about this. In football terms, it's like
winning the Champions League two years running. Also like football, our
business is a team effort and the people who deserve this accolade most
are the Nice 'n Naughty staff. It's thanks to their professionalism
and commitment that we're now being seen as a top retailer, not just in
the UK but also Europe. It's amazing when you think about the quality of
the opposition we're up against. I'd like to dedicate this award to our
staff and it was an honour to receive it on their behalf'.
Trish Murray also emphasised the importance of awards such as E-line
from a customer perspective: Being able to show customers that we are
recognised as the best in our industry gives them confidence that they are
buying from a reputable and professional company. We have always striven
to create a welcoming and enjoyable shopping experience for all our
customers, of both sexes and all sexualities. I feel that winning the
E-line is an endorsement of our approach and an affirmation to customers
that, by shopping at Nice 'n Naughty, they're going to get choice,
good value and friendly, helpful service'.

From Phil, Feb 2007:
Rampant Selection
Nipped in there yesterday, thinking Valentines day,
and me being in serious trouble as I'd not got anything for her yet; and
how surprised was I!
First by the range of toys, DVDs and Lingerie, but also by how
comfortable the place felt! The guy behind the counter was really
friendly, and seemed to know what he was talking about!
They had a great range of Rampant Rabbits, which should keep anyone's
wife happy, including mine! He took me through their different
functions, and I ended up with an all singing all dancing version that
should keep her happy for hours!
Then it was on to something to wear, and ended up with a rather slinky
set from Wild Designs!
Will definitely be in there again, and may even treat us to a DVD, will
take the wife next time as well, as I'm sure she'll fell as relaxed in
there as I did!
Well done nicennaughty for creating a sex shop for the 21st century!

News from Chris, Feb 2009: Clone
Becomes Naughty
 I visited what used to be Clonezone on St James' Street and it is now
Nice 'n' Naughty.
I was greeted by a really nice girl (think she was the naughty one LOL).
Something that was a surprise in the shop, as normally when I nip in to a
gay store, you normally get ignored by the staff!
It had some really nice bits, and seemed to cater for us gay boys and
girls really well. I ended up getting a couple of dvds on a multi buy
offer, and to my surprise was actually given some customer service!
They had a suggestion box on the counter, and the boy and girl there
were really sweet and helpful.
So going to wish the new guys n gals there a lot of luck for the future,
nice to see a shop that looks after its customers and willing to get them
what they want in a shop.

Review from Tina, March 2009:
Accolades
Merited
I know that you have a mass of reviews for this shop but I had to say
that because of the reviews I visited the shop today and found that all of
the accolades were extremely merited - very friendly and unobtrusive staff
(how do they get that balance right?) excellent range and good prices -
both in and outside the sale.
I will definitely be going back!
|
Fabulous. So impressed. I was extremely nervous as
I wasn't sure what the shop was going to be like but I can tell you that I am
never shopping anywhere else again.
The service is amazing and so friendly. I
asked quietly to one of the girls there if they catered for bi-sexual and tv/ts. Quietly she answered back, 'How much time have you got?' To
my amazement I spent over half an hour going through dress sizes and video/dvd
titles. I have never felt so comfortable about my sexuality. There is no
judgement passed and I had a great laugh and girly giggles.
The comment made about
the 'Big, Bald guy' a little scary looking but just as friendly as the girls and very much
there to look after everyone as he is the girls. Not that they need looking
after. They are all so on the ball never missing anyone, and always a smile to make
you that little bit more comfortable.
|
I recently visited Nice 'n' Naughty in Chester, and I would like to comment on the
shop from a customers point of view. I took my wife for a day out shopping in
Chester last week and we had checked out the Nice 'n' Naughty website but my wife
didn't want to go into a sex shop because the Private one we had been in before was seedy.
When we walked past the Nice 'n' Naughty shop it was great to see a nice window display with
sexy clothes. My wife decided to stay in the car while I went in to get her a Toy.
The
staff were so friendly and made me feel relaxed, the girl there explained all the types of
toys available., I went out and convinced my wife to come in as it was nothing like
the pushy sales man at private, although the man in Nice 'n' Naughty is big with a
bald head he is a really nice bloke and he showed me the videos while my wife was picking
a toy with the girl.
The choice of videos was better than the toys they had hundreds. I
recommend the shop to anyone and the pubs in Chester aren't bad either.
|
We have been visiting the shop now for some time and have
to say of any shop anywhere Nice N naughty have by far the best customer
service anywhere. Our first visit will remain with us for years to come. We
were after a vibrator and having walked in and spent sometime looking at the
extensive range of available products were at a loss as to what to go for.
It was our first visit and a little apprehensive as to what to expect. We
were approached by a young lady (Trish) who then spent ages explaining each
and every product to myself and Girlfriend. At no point were we pressured
into spending hundreds of pounds and we felt we would have been as much
thought of and received just as much attention if we had wanted just advice.
Since then we have visited this shop many many times and the service has
just got better. It’s so far removed from the stereo typical sex shop it has
to be visited to be believe.
If only all sex shops were this good, mind you I am glad they are not,
because that’s what sets Nice N Naughty aside and makes it such a pleasure
to go. Thanks for a great service, a great range of products and best of all
the best dedication to your customers we have ever encountered.

Liverpool
Colquitt Street |
What an unbelievable difference walking into the new
Nice 'n' Naughty in Colquitt Street Liverpool.
I went into the shop last week with my wife and could not believe the
difference in this shop compared to other sex shops.
It is the first time I have been into a Nice 'n' Naughty shop and I
have to say that if all other sex shops were up to this standard
especially in the South of England the shops would be a pleasurable
experience.
The range of rabbits, DVDs, lingerie, outfits, shoes and other goodies was
excellent.
The staff were so friendly and helpful not the usual smelly tattooed oaf
you get in the shops in the south.
It has given me and my wife a total new shopping experience, its just a
shame that the shop is so far away from where we live.

Liverpool
Seel Street |
I have been a customer of the
Private stores across the North West for many years, but this week I went to
the new shop that has been recently licensed in Liverpool on Seel Street .
All I can say is what a refreshing change. The shop was clean and well lit
with the almost unbelievable selection of DVD's and Video's.
The guy behind
the counter explained that Nice and Naughty took over and completely
refurbished it. The guy was really friendly and helpful without the hard sell
you become used to in the Private shops, he explained the range of titles
and then left me to pick at my own leisure.
The prices were a lot cheaper
than I normally pay and the choice great. They also had a large section
Magazines which the guy explained are up to date and new titles come in
every week. Mags are not my thing but the selection was impressive. I
purchased 2 DVDs and was stunned when he offered me another one completely
free of charge.
If you are fed up of the same old title the Private shop offers and the
pushy hardsell attitude - give this place a try.

Review from Chris, Feb 2007:
Little Gem
Thought I'd have to put fingers to keys after finding
a really nice little sex shop in Manchester. I've just moved up here
from London, and not expecting to find anything as pleasant as this
little gem!
What surprised me was the range of toys and DVDs the guy had managed to
get in to the place. there was everything I could have thought of and
more!
Having a mooch at the dvds, and after about an hour, I ended up with a
new one from a company called Vouyer Media, the cover said it had
received AVN awards so I though why not give it a go! WOW! heading back
to get some more, the best gonzo I've seen in a long time! The guy even
let me choose another title free as the Vouyer stuff was a brand new
line for him!
What was nice about the place was that I never felt rushed, I mooched
the dvds with out having any one breathing down my neck, forcing me to
chose one!
I even ended up getting a couple of toys to go! the girlfriend kept
going on about "rampant rabbits" and I ended up with one that does
everything except light the cig afterwards! and he even gave me 10% off
cos I mentioned Melon Farmers!
Roll on the next visit!

| Southport |
I have been into the new store at Southport and found
it to be just the thing needed to liven up the area. Of course not everyone
will enjoy seeing the store as they leave the train station but on the other
hand it is the perfect location for people to drop in. I found the staff to
be very friendly and made me and my friend feel comfortable with having a
look around.

Review from Andrew, May 2010:
Most Pleasurable
Re the Warrington Nice 'n' Naughty store. I called in there last week to buy
some lingerie.
I had no idea what to buy, and was most grateful for the friendly and
helpful advice of the staff in store. They were really friendly, impartial
and non - judgemental. They were absolutely fabulous, and I will have no
doubt I will be visiting the store again soon.
It was a most pleasurable shopping experience....
