SUPER secretary Julie Entwistle proved what a world beater she is by recording top marks in an international college course.

Julie, of Cumberland Close, Bury, picked up a gold medal following her achievements in a diploma for executive secretaries completed by students across the globe.

She emerged with distinctions in all five components of the course, awarded by the London Chamber of Commerce and Industry.

The medal was earned by achieving top marks in the English for business module.

Julie (41) enrolled in studies at her former workplace, Hopwood Hall College in Rochdale, and is now a senior secretary at Heap Bridge plastic additive firm Baerlocher UK Ltd.

She said: "It was a real shock to be given the award and it is still a bit unreal.

"The course was very intensive and a great challenge."
