A BURNHAM-on-Sea mother's year got off to a flying start after she won a £2,000 voucher for a holiday that will take her anywhere in the world.

Sharon Martin entered a free, online competition by West Country Windows so she could take her children on an amazing getaway and was shocked when she found out she had won.

The mother of four was presented with her voucher by the firm's marketing manager, John Baker earlier this month.

She said:"This is truly amazing and the first time I have ever won anything. "

West Country Windows is one of a handful of Somerset manufacturers with a business that is still run by two of the same directors, Ken Ashplant and Tim Earle, who set it up in 1977.

The company specialises in double glazed windows but also offers solid insulated roofs for conservatories, sky lights and bi-folding doors.

John Baker, marketing manager for West Country Windows, said: "It is really good to be able to give someone some good news."
