An "exemplary employee" who turned Saffron Walden Town Hall into a popular wedding venue was celebrated with a certificate and presentation.
Claire Haddock joined the town council in 2003 as a facilities cleaner on a temporary basis, but since 2015 has focused on bookings for council venues.
Since taking over the booking function, Claire has introduced the town hall as a wedding venue and successful business in its own right - to the point where it is now known as 'the place in Saffron Walden to get married'.
