00:00I'm joined by Holly and Artie from Lake Avenue Store and Post Office who've just won the

00:06Contributions to the Community Award. Congratulations guys, how happy are you to be stood there

00:11Artie with that in your hands. Amazing, I'm so proud of everybody that works with us and

00:15all of our customers. Honestly, I can't believe it.

00:18So to the award to the Contributions to the Community, Holly, tell us a little bit about

00:23what you do to become such a community asset.

00:25We do a lot, we serve customers, there's a lot that we do within the community, we've

00:32got a lot of people coming in for help and everything, it's nice.

00:36Obviously it's a tough landscape for many out there, which is obviously a sad situation.

00:40So what else do you think will you continue to do looking forward to support the community?

00:45We're a community business, we're a business within a community and we know people on a

00:51day-to-day basis and our staff are brilliant. They know generally when somebody's vulnerable

00:58or when they might need extra help or just help with their shopping or maybe sometimes

01:04a bit more. So we kind of, I think, continue to connect with our community in that way

01:09and hopefully things will just continue to blossom.

01:11That's fantastic. I was about to say, tell us about the team behind the scenes, but tell

01:15us about the team behind the camera right now. How much are they an integral part of

01:20this?

01:21A massive part. Tanya, who is hiding behind, doesn't want to talk, is our manager and she

01:27holds the fort down, along with everybody else. Sherry will, I think, love to get in

01:33front of the camera.

01:34I'm surprised she didn't, to be honest.

01:37She's one of our longest serving members of staff, but also someone who really connects

01:43with our community and does care about every customer that walks through the door. And

01:48it's noticed even by customers. So, I mean, it's just amazing to actually be recognised

01:53for it.

01:54Fantastic. Holly, what have you made of tonight? And I imagine you have plans to celebrate

01:58this evening.

01:59Yes, we do, I think.

02:01Yes.

02:02Probably drinks afterwards.

02:03Change of plans.

02:04Yeah, probably drinks afterwards. But yeah, it's been an amazing evening. It has been

02:09an amazing evening.

02:10Well done, guys. You've probably served it. Enjoy your evening.

02:13Thank you very much. Thank you.

02:14Cheers.

02:15Can I have a little bite of it?

02:17Is that OK?

02:19And this bit.

02:21She's shy, but she shouldn't be shy.

02:25We've got it.

02:26I like the rice.
