THE Marks & Spencer store in Bury has won a top prize in a company-wide standards competition.

It was one of 340 that entered the competition.

A prize of £20,000 will be divided between the four winners, and the staff at the winning stores will decide how the money is spent.

Retail director Barry Stevenson said: "The standard achieved by the team at the Bury store was outstanding.

Bury manager Kathryn Milburn said: "I'm very proud of what my team has achieved and that all their hard work and commitment has been recognised in this way."
