The owner of a garage in Cambridgeshire - which gives the disabled and disadvantaged the chance to work as mechanics - has won a prestigious award.

Andy Kent - who runs Andy's Kars in Bar Hill near Cambridge - has been honoured by his own industry.

Andy uses a wheelchair - having suffered a cerebral haemorrhage when he was 24. As well as employing disadvantaged youngsters his garage adapts cars for people with disabilities.

He's just received an outstanding individual achievement award from the Institute of the Motor Industry. Here is Stuart Leithes' report.
