Probus Filling Station award

CONGRATULATIONS to Vikki and Shaun Poore from Probus Filling Station who were presented with an ‘Unsung Hero’ award by the High Sheriff of Cornwall Kate Holborow on 9th November.

They were nominated by Chrissy Biggs who said, ‘This remarkably hard-working family have gone over and above doing their best to ensure the residents of Probus and the wider community have been able to access most of life’s essentials over the past few months.

On behalf of our community, a very heartfelt thank you’. Derek and Jenny Colton emailed the Probus News to say, ‘We’d like to send congratulations to Vikki, Shaun and the brilliant staff at Probus Filling Station for their ‘Unsung Hero’ Award. They have been wonderful during the lockdown supplying the village with groceries, in some cases better than the supermarkets! It pays to shop local!’

Vikki Poore commented, ‘Shaun and I would like to say that none of it would have been possible without the hard work and dedication of all the staff and also my mum Sue who came back out of semi-retirement to help on the till. It was a great honour to receive the award, and we are proud to support the community as best we can. Thank you to all of our customers for their support and patience through these difficult times. We hope everybody stays safe and look forward to better times ahead.’ Well done guys!
