Forty of Nisa’s delivery trucks are now named after customers following its recent 40th birthday ‘Name a lorry’ competition.
The competition attracted over 400 entries from shoppers nominating family and friends they felt deserved the tribute.
Many of those selected were honoured for personal triumphs, such as 11-year-old Brooke McKenna whose mum nominated her in recognition of the fundraising she does for a local cancer charity. Brooke was also presented with a Making a Difference Locally £1,000 donation for her chosen charity.
Jasmine Brady was also thrilled to see her name on a lorry. The seven-year-old is battling leukaemia and her mum wanted to do something bring a smile to her face during the difficult time she is going through with medical treatment.
Ben Ahern had a lorry named after him for the charity work he does with homeless people. One hundred Nisa own-label Heritage sandwiches were also handed over to Ben for distribution at local soup kitchens.
Other winners included brother and sister Archie and Darcy Toft who are part of a lorry mad family; kidney transplant sisters Kelcey and Ellie Firth; and lorry spotter Mark Usher who now has another great reason to look out for trucks.
PR and Communications Manager at Nisa, Gemma Bell said: “We were thrilled that our competition sparked so much interest among Nisa shoppers. It really was quite a challenge to select just 40 winners from the hundreds of entries.
“We were delighted to be able to unveil many of the lorries to the winners in person and have been genuinely touched by how much it meant to some of our worthy winners.”
