Giovanna Vella of Mġarr got €350 worth of quality health products at the Holland & Barrett trolley dash, after winning the Get Carried Away Facebook competition in May.

Power-lifting champion Mario Mifsud assisted Vella by helping her locate the randomly marked Holland & Barrett items – which tallied up to €500 ­– and carried her trolley across the 300-square-metre Sliema store.

Vella had one minute to fill up the trolley but an extra 30 seconds were added to the participant’s surprise as a bonus round. She ended up with over 20 quality health products, ranging from food items like oats, nuts and rice cakes to natural cosmetics like shampoo, coconut oil and bath salts.

Vella is a regular customer of Holland & Barrett.

“Before discovering Holland & Barrett, I used to buy all my health food products from abroad and I’m very grateful that whatever I need is now closer to home.”

Stefan Borg Manduca, Holland & Barrett director, said that the company intends to organise more trolley dash competitions in the future.

Holland & Barrett is Europe’s renowned retailer in health products offering thousands of high-quality vitamins, minerals, nutritional supplements and health foods.

It arrived in Malta in 2009 and has since opened five stores in Attard, Fgura, Sliema, St Julian’s and Valletta.
