AN 18-YEAR-OLD from Great Harwood has won the title of Creative Genius from UK mobile network, giffgaff.

Mitch Hutchison won one of the four awards in the annual giffgaff Run By You Awards, created to celebrate the things members of the network do to help each other out and add to the community.

The company said Mitch had proven that he is a creative whizz, spending a whopping 169 days on the online community forums.

In that time, he’s contributed to the gaff, the network ‘magazine’ for members, and proved to be so popular that he is now its editor.

A member since 2012, Mitch has also shown a keen interest in contributing to charity work through the forums.
