LYNDA Gregory has caught the building bug.

When the Leigh lass took a post as a junior administrator with a house-building firm, she did not expected to end-up as a trainee quantity surveyor.

Her career snowballed after she took a job as payment clerk with Bellway Homes.

Lynda said: "I always knew I had the ability and interest to do more. I'm spending a lot of time shadowing other surveyors and, under their guidance, have been given my own development, Oaklands in Bolton, to manage."
