From making up food boxes to providing sports shoes to kids who need them, Bex Gardiner is always turning up to help people with a smile on her face and her trademark gumboots on.

The Blenheim local likes to fly under the radar.

It’s for her selflessness and hard work that ASB are naming her this week’s ASB Good as Gold winner and awarding her $10,000 to take her family on the Australian trip they have been saving for.

Watch the video above to see the moment Seven Sharp surprises her with the award.
