Travel Counsellors wins Amazon Growing Business award
Travel Counsellors and Feefo were among the winners at the Amazon Growing Business Awards last night.
The homeworking group won the accolade in the large company category, which was open to companies with a turnover of £50 million a year.
Simon Shaw, CFO of Travel Counsellors, said it was a huge honour.
"We make it our business to ensure people enjoy their tailor-made holidays and for our work to be recognised by Amazon, the CBI and Real Business is a fantastic achievement,” he said.
“The award caps off an exceptional year for Travel Counsellors and we’re already looking forward to an even more successful 2017. I can’t wait to bring this award back to celebrate with the team in Manchester."
Meanwhile, travel review website Feefo won the award in the Digital Business of the Year category.
Doug Gurr, Amazon’s UK Country Manager, said: "We would like to offer our congratulations to all the winners and businesses highly commended last night. Small businesses are the backbone of Britain, and so it’s immensely inspiring to hear such a number of success stories, showing that creative ideas and relentless drive is found around the country".
