STUDENT Gavin Emberton can sleep soundly for the rest of his stay at university!

For the 21-year-old from Leyland has already been promised a job at bed giant Silentnight after he finishes his course at Bradford University next year.

Business management student Gavin worked at the Barnoldswick firm on a placement after applying for a job advertising in his students' union. "He was a superb asset to my department and to the company as a whole," said boss Steve Hudson.

During his year long stint at the firm Gavin was involved in setting up a new forecasting system to establish production targets and workforce requirement in the future.

He beat off competition from 11 other applicants to land the year long placement.
