Her customers really appreciated her outstanding service and with the help of their nominations she beat 1000’s of other newsagents from the UK and Ireland to win this top award. Cockermouth Paper Shop (and Mills) are the local agents for the Blues Lotto and stockists of the “United Scene” magazine.
