Hays Travel agent Emily Richards is the latest winner of the agency chain’s monthly prize draw.

Richards has won a four-night stay at the Hilton Hotel Times Square in New York plus flights with virgin Atlantic and £1,000 spending money.

She has been a manager at the Yate branch in South Gloucestershire for three years and is the third winner of the Big Hays Travel Thank You initiative.

Hays Travel announced next month’s winner will take home a bundle of Apple products worth up to £3,000.

Chief operating officer Jonathon Woodall-Johnston travelled to Yate to surprise Richards with the news.

“When I saw Jonathon walk through the door I couldn’t believe someone in my branch had won,” she said. “I still didn’t think it would be me as I never win anything!

“I last went to New York 19 years ago for my 21st birthday. I can’t wait to go back with my husband.”
