ELY Wilkinson's employee Chris Jermy has been rewarded for her charity work with a £100 cheque from her head office, as part of Wilkinson's first Local Star awards.

Ms Jermy was nominated by her fellow team members at Wilkinson's for her fund-raising efforts for a number of charities. She was one of 29 Wilkinson's employees nationally to win the award

The Local Star awards were presented by Nick Wilkinson, grandson of the retail group's founder. He said: "These awards recognise and support Wilkinson team members who are adding to their community. They are doing things outside the normal pattern of working life, in addition to their home life, and that's special. There is so much reporting about bad things in England so it's great to see that there are people out there not just thinking about themselves.
