A Morrison's employee who went viral after helping out a girl with autism at a checkout has become the face of the shop's new ad campaign.

Check-out manager Lin Lisle-Fenwick, from a Basingstoke branch, was praised by a mother whose 11-year-old daughter went into a "meltdown".

"She distracted my daughter by letting her scan all my shopping," mum Amanda Wilkins wrote on Facebook.

"A dream come true for Holly who loves playing 'shops'.

"It melts my heart to come across people that are prepared to go the extra mile, and little acts of kindness makes a massive difference to my world."

Lin's manager, Simon Nellis, commented on the original post, thanking Amanda for bringing attention to Lin's actions. He went on to upload an image of Lin surrounded by the team, holding a bunch of flowers.

Simon captioned it: "Reading to Lin why she was receiving flowers and a gift was really hard as I was getting genuinely choked up while doing so. Thanks Lin for this and all the other amazing things you do. :kissing_heart::bouquet:"

Talking about the decision to make Lin the new face of Morrisons, he added : "Our people often go above and beyond to help customers, and Lin is a great role model and a great shopkeeper so we want to record her advice and share it with our colleagues and customers."
