A retiree who worked for one of the borough's most famous businesses has won Made in Bury Weekly £2,000 Draw.

Dave Herbert, who worked for Bury Black Pudding Company, scooped the prize with ticket number 23126.

Dave, who has been in the draw since October 2022, holds two tickets after signing up when the Made In Bury team surprised a colleague he was working with to tell them they had won.

He said that he joined to not just win the cash, but because of the support that the draw provides to Bury businesses.

After being told he had won, Dave said he nearly did not answer his phone as he thought it was a spam or sales call. 

He expressed his happiness and said he will be spending his winnings on a trip away for him and his wife.
