Love is in the care

Looking for love? Then Sam Fisher can help . . .

Match-making service with added protection is Samantha’s new love

AN Oldham woman from a banking background has launched a dating service with a difference.

Simply Serendipity uses a face-to-face matching process, offering a much stronger chance of success for those genuinely looking for love leading up to Valentine’s Day.

Samantha Fisher, a 35-year-old from Hollinwood who was made redundant from her job in banking before turning her hand to matching singles across Greater Manchester, meets members face-to-face and uses training and security checks to find singles looking for romance a suitable partner.

Samantha said: “The two unique selling points are the added security the service brings and the matching process.

“Simply Serendipity sees members screened for a criminal record background check and enhanced ID verification.

“This ensures people are who they say they are. Mine is the only match-maker service in the North-West using Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) training to produce an in-depth character profile.

“Once an appropriate match is found, Simply Serendipity passes the contact details to each person and — fingers crossed — a date is arranged.”

Samantha, who was helped along the way by business support agency Blue Orchid, decided to launch the dating service after taking NLP training.

“After I was made redundant I decided to look into some training to help further my career,” she said, adding: “I had always had an interest in self-development and communication skills so I began studying to become an NLP practitioner. I went from being nervous speaking to a small group to standing in front of an audience of 200.

Samantha is aiming to target Greater Manchester before opening the dating service across the UK.
