Preston's Universal Product Solutions celebrates successful 'Warehouse Sweep' with local winner and charitable donation

Universal Product Solutions, a leading e-commerce distributor based in Preston, is thrilled to announce the successful conclusion of its inaugural "Warehouse Sweep", which saw a local resident win 1 minute and 55 seconds in total to run through the aisles claiming their prizes. With a donation of £600, the value of the goodies collected by Emma, made to The Trussel Trust, a charity of her choosing, upon completion of the sweep.

The event took place on Thursday, June 19, at Universal Product Solutions' warehouse on Trefoil Way. Inspired by the classic TV show, the competition offered the thrill of 60 seconds to grab as many products as possible from the warehouse shelves… and keep every single item. With twists and opportunities along the way to earn more precious time. 

The competition winner was Emma, who attended with her mother, Kathy.

Emma enthusiastically filled her trolley with a fantastic array of ambient goods, including popular biscuits, teas, coffees, baking ingredients, sauces, and more. The entire event was live-streamed on TikTok, with a full film crew on hand to capture the moment. The stream drew significant engagement from the online community.

Our winner also had the opportunity to gain extra time with our surprise quiz, testing Emma on her Universal knowledge, and through a coin toss, that she won (on the second go!). These twists allowed Emma to gain 55 seconds in extra time to boost her winnings.

"We are absolutely delighted with the success of our first 'Warehouse Sweep' and so pleased to celebrate our winner Emma," said Paul Maddern, Managing Director at Universal Product Solutions. "It was fantastic to see the excitement and enthusiasm, both in person and from our online audience.
