FAST co-owner wins Made In Bury Weekly £2,000 Draw

Sean Todd, who owns Bury-based First Aid Safety Training (FAST) with business partner Andrew Stanley, scooped the prize with ticket number 22822.

FAST is a nationally-recognised training provider that started in 2011. It provides affordable, quality, professional training courses in first aid and other bespoke safety training, either at their facility in Bury, or in businesses across the North West and beyond.

FAST team member Laura Pedley told the draw team that Sean was away teaching on an emergency first aid at work course so were unable to surprise him in person.

But, knowing he was due to break for lunch, the draw team had the perfect opportunity to surprise him with a phone call.

Once the team said the words, "Sean, congratulations, you're this week's weekly £2,000 draw winner", the joy in his voice was clear to hear.
