PUB cleaner Eunice Robinson swept away the competition in a contest to find a brewery's employee of the month.

Eunice (58), who works at The Brandlesholme pub, brushed aside 250 contenders from John Barras pubs across the North West, and will now be a contender to clean up with the national title.

She scooped the award for her shining efforts to keep the pub immaculate, after being nominated by managers and fellow staff at the pub on Brandlesholme Road.

And Eunice, of Whitehead Crescent, Brandlesholme, is also a dab hand in the kitchen, helping out whenever she can.

She said: "This has been a complete surprise for me and I am absolutely delighted. I have always prided myself on ensuring that the place looks spotless and it's nice that it hasn't gone unnoticed."
