Wine sale accolade for supermarket


A SUPERMARKET which has a branch in Clitheroe has been named as Britain's Over­ all Wine Merchant of the Year. Booths supermarket,


established 155 years ago in Preston by Edwin Henry Booth, was pre­ sented with the award at a dinner in London last week. I t is the oldest family-owned and run grocery business in Britain with 27 stores across _ Lancashire, Cheshire, Yorkshire,


- Yorkshire and Cumbria, with anannual turnover of £150 million. According to Wine


Magazine, organisers of the prestigious competi­ tion: "If you had to


choose one word to sum­ marise Booths, it would be quality. Whether it he the deli-counter or the approach to retailing, Booths is an impressive set up and does not do things by halves." Chairman of Booths,


Mr Edwin Booth, com­ mented: "For a family company such as Booths to win the top Wine Oscar is wonderful. I t is also a great compliment to our wine buyer, Sally Holloway, and her wine advisers in our stores, who give her immediate customer feedback on her wines. This award recognises the exciting va rie ty of wines we offer."


Studying has paid off


THREE years of studying have paid off for Mark Yates, deputy cement manager at Castle


Cement's Ribblesdale works. Mr Yates has achieved his Master of Business


Administration, via Hull University. He enrolled for his studies in 1999 and com­


pleted his MBA this summer, spending one day a week at Blackburn College and up to 15 hours a week studying at home. . Out of touch with the academic world since


completing his engineering studies as an appren­ tice nine years ago, he says that studying came as quite a shock to the system.


Mr Yates lives in Rishton with his wife, Les­ ley, and their three young children.

says th a t the hall is a | low-rise building, cur­ rently unused, and hous- I es built on the site would appear as new buildings and an incongruous fea­ ture in the open country­ side. There would be an adverse effect on the character and appear- |

that loss of the employ­ ment site would harm ! the objective of preserv­ ing employment oppor- | tumties in the country­ side.
