A Hull mum has won a year’s worth of flowers thanks to a national competition.
Aldi asked shoppers across the UK to nominate their mums and motherly figures to receive the prize to mark Mother’s Day earlier this year. Betty Day scooped up the prize, and couldn’t be more delighted.
The retired Home Care Officer was nominated by her daughter Sarah. She will now get a seasonal bouquet of flowers delivered to her door each month, courtesy of family-owned business JZ Flowers, who are a long-term supplier to Aldi.
Betty was selected from more than 500 nominations marking the first-of-its-kind giveaway. She said: “Finding out I’d won a year’s worth of flowers was such a lovely surprise.
“I really enjoy getting out in the garden whenever I can and having fresh flowers around the house now too will be such a treat. I can’t say thank you enough to my daughter Sarah for nominating me, and to Aldi for choosing me as the winner.”
Julie Ashfield, Chief Commercial Officer at Aldi, said: “We know how important it is to cherish the mums and motherly figures in our lives, and we’re always looking for ways to help our shoppers celebrate their loved ones.
“We absolutely loved reading all the heartwarming entries we received, but we felt that Sarah’s nomination of her mum Betty really stood out, making her a wholly deserving winner of our flower giveaway.”
