TWO East Lancashire car salesmen are celebrating after being named top in their field.

David Hallam, sales manager at Perry's dealership in Clitheroe, was awarded first place in the Peugeot Sales Campaign for 2003.

David's colleague Paul Sagar, who works in the Blackburn dealership, took second place.

Peugeot has more than 360 Peugeot dealers in the UK.

Both employees received an all-expenses paid holiday to Barbados as a reward for their efforts.

Phil Walker, district sales manager, said: "I'm delighted that two sales managers in the North West region have scooped first and second place in a UK-wide competition.

"Both David and Paul smashed sales targets set for the campaign with their excellent customer service and extensive knowledge of the Peugeot range."

And he said the pair would be entitled to enjoy themselves on holiday: "They thoroughly deserve to go and let their hair down."
