    A Skimmia for the top one?

    Agree with hogweed for the first Skimmia Japonica.  

    The second one looks like Choisya Ternata.

    I'd go with  both of those IDs.

    Both the skimmia and choisya can be pruned, if necessary, with secateurs. The choisya often has a second flush of flowers late summer/autumn.
