Maev Dunmore was presented with a Hero Award by Stephen McPartland, Member of Parliament for Stevenage, in recognition of her part in catching a rogue trader.
Stephen McPartland MP said, "I am honoured to present the Hero Award to Maev. She is a real-life hero and through her bravery she has helped get this rogue trader off the streets.”
Maev, who was nominated for the award by senior trading standards officer Yvonne Bartlett, commented, “I am thrilled and delighted, but I’m not sure I’m a hero. I had never employed tradesmen before, but found one online. I just wanted him off the streets so he couldn’t scam anyone else."
The Hero Award is from the Chartered Trading Standards Institute to recognise people’s outstanding contribution towards consumer protection.
