LOCAL locksmith, Gary Eckersall is top of the locks after being voted new chairman of the Master of Locksmiths for Great Britain Association.
Gary, from Blackbrook, has run his shop, J. G. Eckersall, from Lingholme Road for the past 16 years and was chosen for his new role by fellow locksmiths from across the country.
The new post, which he will keep as long as the association want him to, will involve travelling the country to represent the association at meetings and Gary pronounced himself "very proud" to have been chosen.
