GROUP TRAVEL ORGANISER TRAVEL AWARDS 2009

A massive thank you to all our clients who voted for us  in the Group Travel Awards. After nearly 10 years in business we are proud to have such a loyal and  fun group of tour organisers and we thank you for your business and continued support.

The award was, to say the very least, a massive shock. Having taken my bow tie off during dinner, which took me nearly half an hour to tie in the first place, I was stunned, to hear our name come up. In the same moment and en-route to the stage, I was horrified when it dawned on me that there was no was on earth I was going to have time to tie the bow tie again. So many apologies for looking a little scruffy in the pictures.
My only regret was that Shauna, my long suffering business partner and close friend was not there to enjoy the moment with me. Next time!
