"Finding out I'd won the £2,000 was a fantastic surprise. The news couldn't have come at a better time..."

Forces Mutual, which aims to improve the lives of its customers and the Military created something special to make the festive period a little bit merrier for those who lay their lives on the line as well as veterans, contractors and their families. The Forces Mutual ‘Win Christmas’ advent calendar giveaway offered a series of great prizes including gift vouchers, Sony headphones, hampers and a coffee machine, as well as one top cash prize of £2,000.

“We are delighted to announce that the winner of our top prize is Wendy Walton, a contract tailor at RAF Lossiemouth. As the giveaway was open to all three services, Wendy’s win is doubly great as not only does she work for the RAF, her husband is a RAF veteran,” says Forces Mutual’s Customer Sales Advisor for Scotland, Mirren Porteous, seen below presenting the winning cheque to Wendy.

Wendy commented on her win, “Finding out I’d won the £2,000 was a fantastic surprise. The news couldn't have come at a better time, as like everyone else I’ve been daydreaming about luxury holidays to beat the January blues. Now I’ve won the money, I can make those dreams a reality and have already started planning a summer holiday with my daughter.”
