Mark Johnston, customer trading manager at Asda Kirkcaldy said: “This is certainly not a one-off for Hannah – I have so many examples that would justify why she was nominated for and won this award."

Hannah said: “I am always in the mindset that I’m just doing my job, but my colleagues reassure me that maybe I am going that bit further.“Without all of them, we wouldn’t be able to do these things and go the extra mile for our customers.”
