A KIDDERMINSTER travel consultant has proved she's a hot shot by scooping thousands of pounds in cash bonuses.

Julie Bootton, who works for West Midlands Co-op Travel, won £3,000 for being a top holiday seller.

The 34-year-old has a history of winning prizes from Co-op initiatives and has won two cars in the past five years.

She took the most bookings during the peak season - starting in January - out of the 200 staff in West Midlands Co-op Travel, for tour operators Airtours, Kosmos, First Choice and Panorama.

Second prizewinner was Kerry Knobbs, 20, from Cannock, who won £2,000, and a £1,000 third prize went to Ann Phillips from the Kinver branch.
