hello there..

i wonder if anyone can identify this shrub for me please and perhaps suggest how i can keep it small and perhaps when and if i can take a cutting to try and grow another?

Looks like Cytisus battandierei, a type of broom. Cannot be kept small, only pruning it tolerates is a quick clip over when the flowers have finished, and only removing a very small amount of foliage. You might find the flowers form seed pods - you can try growing from those.
