The lucky announcement for Mr Stevens was made all the sweeter as he had just moved out of his parent’s house in Pickering to his first home, and needed to order Heating Oil for the chilly winter months.
Mechanical engineer, Mr Stevens, 25, said: “I was elated to win, it was great news. It has come just at the right time. I buy the paper quite often and had just happened to see the competition so thought I would give it a try. I didn’t expect to win so when I found out I had I was really pleased.”
The competition involved collecting five tokens from the Gazette & Herald. The winner was selected at random later by the newspaper. Mr Stevens took delivery of his Heating Oil earlier this week, meaning he is fully stocked up for a toasty warm winter.
Duncan Lambert, director of Yorkshire based Rix Petroleum Ltd, congratulated Mr Stevens on his win:
“We like to bring some festive cheer to the season by giving people the opportunity to win 500 litres of fuel, delivered free to their door. After all, it’s a good feeling to know you are fully prepared for all the British weather can throw at you. It was a particular pleasure to deliver to Robin who is just starting out in his new home. We hope he is very happy there and would like to wish him all the very best for the future.”
