A BURY firm cleaned up at a recent awards ceremony in Bristol.

Chem-Dry Finesse, owned by Arthur Foster and his son, Peter, received three accolades from the UK arm of its parent company, the carpet and upholstery cleaning firm, Chem-Dry.

Mr Foster's fortunes were turned around when Peter joined the firm 16 months ago.

Peter said: "We have ambitious plans for our business over the next year and we will continue to provide a first class service to all our customers."

His father set up the business four years ago after being made redundant from British Aerospace.

Mark Hutchinson, Chem-Dry UK chief executive, said: "Chem-Dry Finesse has gone that extra mile this year in providing outstanding customer service. They fully deserve these awards."
