Dave, of Fareham, Hampshire, was won of 5 resort staff who were entered into a prize draw for selling the most Europcar rentals last year.

Dave, who was based in Menorca for Thomson, received the silver Fabia 1.2 at his home from Adrian White, Europcar, and Joe Segui, Thomson.

Dave commented, "I couldn’t believe it when I got the call to say I had actually won. My wife and I are expecting our first child very shortly, and to have a brand new car for the occasion is just perfect!"

Adrian White, Head of Outbound Sales and Marketing, Europcar added, "To be able to reward Thomson staff for their hard work promoting Europcar is a great part of my job, Dave is, without doubt, a worthy winner. "
