A Hereford Hi-Q fast-fit store manager is flying high after winning a national sales competition run by the retailer.

Colin Worthing is one of four managers who is jetting off on a week's holiday for two at the expense of Hi-Q after achieving top sales and standards during 2003.

Colin beat off managers from Hi-Q's network of 550 stores to win his prize, which was presented by Hi-Q's retail director, Graham Scholefield, at the company's TyreFort headquarters in Birmingham.

Graham Scholefield said: "Colin has really excelled in achieving a high increase in sales performance and in passing the strict standards criteria on store and staff presentation.''
