Wimbledon-based
independent Travel Agent Swords Travel recently picked up a major national travel award at one of the industry’s biggest nights of the year.
The Agent Achievement Awards, hosted by Travel Weekly, attracts hundreds of agents each year and celebrates the great and the good of the UK travel industry. This year’s event took place on 12th July at London’s Park Plaza Hotel in Westminster.
The event honours the best agents and agencies in the country, as voted by travel providers. Its Aspire Awards honour the best agents in the premium sector in association with Travel Weekly’s luxury magazine and travel agent club Aspire, and Swords Travel were honoured with the Award for the Aspire Independent Agency of the Year Award.
Hollie-Rae Brader, editor of Aspire, said: “The independent agency category of the Aspire Awards was hotly contested with dozens of brilliant and worthy entries. The judges picked Swords Travel as the winner because their submission showed a clear passion for their business and the luxury travel industry, as well as a desire to meet the need of every client. Their entry also highlighted ambitions for the future, as well as plotting a clear trajectory to achieve this. They impressed the panel and thoroughly deserve their win.”
Mark and Stuart Swords, owners of Swords Travel said they were both ‘thrilled and honoured to receive such national recognition.”
