A LEYLAND mum has picked up a £2,000 thank you from North West Water for her innovative money saving ideas.
Karen Needham, of Claugton Avenue, Clayton-le-Woods, helped save the company £21,000 on computer equipment and software
The mother-of-four who used the money to buy her eldest daughter, Jody, a pony said: "I also shared the money with my colleagues who helped develop the idea."
Karen's boss, Tim Thickett, said: "Her proposal put forward through the company's suggestion scheme, Pipeline, will result in great savings. It will be a tremendous help for many parts of our business."
