A DEDICATED supermarket worker has been handpicked for a once in a lifetime trip.

Jade Chalmers has been chosen to represent Asda in Darlington at an upcoming international conference.

Ms Chalmers will be flown to Arkansas after being chosen as one of just a handful of Asda workers recognised for going the extra mile at work.

While in the USA, Ms Chalmers will attend Walmart’s annual shareholders’ conference, along with celebrities and colleagues from across the world.

Ms Chalmers has worked at Asda’s Neasham Road branch for more than nine years.

Her manager said: “Jade is a fantastic example to us all and this brilliant opportunity is a well-deserved reward in recognition of her achievements over the last nine years.”
