A REDDITCH man who dedicates his time to keeping the local area clean and graffiti-free has won a £50,000 home makeover, thanks to online competitions company BOTB.
Eric Bryan was at work when he received the surprise of a lifetime during a video call from BOTB presenter Christian Williams, who revealed he was the latest winner of the company’s Lifestyle Competition.
Eric, who is well known in his community for his tireless efforts to clean graffiti and keep the neighbourhood looking its best, was left visibly stunned.
“No way, you must be joking.” he said, struggling to process the news.
“I must be dreaming, seeing you. My heart is racing. My home desperately needs it.”
Eric went on to explain that his house is in need of serious attention – from faulty electrics to major renovations throughout – making the £50,000 prize even more life-changing.
Christian said: “It’s such a deserving win. Eric does so much for others in his community, so it’s great to surprise him with such a top prize.
“He was so shocked when we told him, it took a while before I could even explain what he’d won! He was genuinely speechless – but the moment it sank in was incredibly special.”
