career in print sales, Mr Kilby played for Clitheroe and was then with the Clarets for a time before completing his soccer career in his home town.. He is also well remembered as a

MORE used to selling the news than mak­ ing it, newsagent sales assistant Mrs Carol Pearson has turned the tables with a scoop


of her own. For Mrs Pearson (45), who works part-


time at Clitheroe's Gastle Street branch of Martin the Newsagent, has lifted the title of the country's best counter assistant for 1998 in a competition hosted by the indus­ try's weekly trade magazine,' CTN. The magazine is holding its front page


for the Clitheroe mother-of-two, who col­ lected her star-shaped trophy from its edi­ tor, Anne Bingham, in a ceremony at the


Savoy Hotel in London. Mrs Pearson, who has worked a t tne


store for four years, spent the previous day with 14 other finalists in another presti­ gious London hotel being questioned by award sponsors on aspects of her job. She was voted the store s Northern


region sales assistant for 1998, an award which brought her a £200 prize bonus. In London, as well as her title and tro­


phy, Mrs Pearson received a £2,000 award which the Martin group, delighted at her success, will match by a further £2,000 gift. (121098/13/5)
