Isle of Man based travel specialist Antony Guy is celebrating after winning a prestigious award from international travel company Travel Counsellors.
Antony was presented with the 2012 “Best Newcomer for Business Travel” award in recognition of his hard work and dedication to providing his customers with the highest levels of personal service and attention to detail when booking their travel arrangements.
As one of just sixteen out of over 1,200 agents to be presented with an award at the Travel Counsellors annual conference in Liverpool last month, Antony was delighted to take home the trophy after setting up his own travel business just over a year ago.
Antony was given the impressive title by guest presenter and TV personality Amanda Lamb at a glittering awards ceremony during the conference. Antony comments: “I am thrilled to have won such a prestigious award. Using the cutting-edge technology provided by Travel Counsellors, I can source the very best accommodation and travel options for my customers, many of which simply aren’t available on the high street or on the web. I think my customers really appreciate the level of personal service I can offer by running my own travel business with the support of Travel Counsellors.”
During his time at the conference, Antony joined his Travel Counsellor colleagues from across the UK, Ireland, Canada, Australia, South Africa, Dubai and the Netherlands. The annual event provided Antony with all the latest company developments and future plans, including news on new methods for creating tailor-made holidays and business trips for his customers. The event saw a record number of over 175 suppliers exhibiting at a dedicated session where Antony was able to meet directly with representatives from a host of tourist boards, hotels and airlines to learn first-hand about their products and destinations.
Antony comments: “I had an incredible time at the conference in Liverpool. It was a truly inspirational experience and I look forward to sharing the latest travel tips, advice and knowledge I have gained with all my customers. I would like to give a special thank you to all of my customers for their loyalty and support.”
Priding himself on an excellent level of personal service, Antony runs his own corporate travel business using Travel Counsellors’ award winning technology and is available at a time to suit his customers, including evenings and weekends. Antony adds: “When running my own travel business it is imperative to focus on the personal side, always putting the customer first by going the extra mile to satisfy their needs. I always aim to deliver the very best service I possibly can and as a result I am delighted to win this award. I’m pleased to say my business is going from strength to strength and I am looking forward to all that 2013 has to bring.”
