Wrapping-up 2023's awards season

That's a wrap for another successful award season!

We've spent a busy year working hard to enter 46 awards across the business travel, meetings and events industry. From celebrating our creative event managers, resourceful venue-finders and industry influencers to our rising stars, technology teams and customer collaboration, we're shouting out to our people and customers, celebrating all the great things they have achieved from across the business.

Some awards put our creativity to the test as we recorded videos and canvassed for votes from our customers and suppliers.Making the final in 37 award categories, we went on to win almost half. With 14 wins and two highly commended trophies to add to our cabinet. Here's a run-down on what we've achieved:

• C&IT A-list A-list Alumni - Claire Garlick
• TTG Top 50 Agencies - Top Business Travel Agency (Highly Commended)
• ITM Achievement Awards - ITM Mentor of the Year - Leanne Fowler

Getting industry recognition compliments our own internal awards scheme, as a way for us to highlight the good work we do. It's been another fantastic awards season, winning almost half of all the awards we were shortlisted for. Almost every area of the business has been recognised, from our Account Managers and Venue-finders to our technology teams who are working hard behind the scenes. I'm proud of our people and how they've come together to deliver award-winning services. Likewise, I want to celebrate our customers who we've put forward as their success is a testament to the ways we collaborate and strive for the progression of our industry. Some of these awards were also based on public votes, so I also want to thank everyone who took the time to choose us.
