AWARDS<br />
TBR GLOBAL<br />
MICE TEAM<br />
OF THE YEAR<br />
TBR Global’s Thomas Tuschek, Head of Global Major<br />
Events, celebrates the company’s People Awards triumph<br />
in-house proprietary system and the<br />
expertise and skill of our strategically placed<br />
project managers. This creates an unrivalled<br />
ability to deliver large-scale complex logistics<br />
projects to a world-class service standard.<br />
After the successful delivery of its first project,<br />
the team has gone on to obtain further<br />
contracts for blue-chip corporations, global<br />
governing bodies and luxury brands, as well<br />
as undertaking a strategic operational programme<br />
for major sporting events in Japan.<br />
What does the team particularly enjoy<br />
about the role they play in the industry?<br />
Although often overlooked, the ground<br />
transportation portion of an event is the<br />
first and last touch point for every guest.<br />
Successful delivery is the backbone to a<br />
seamless project and the team love nothing<br />
more than making that possible.<br />
What do you think of the Awards and of<br />
the winners’ event in particular?<br />
<strong>The</strong> award ceremony was a great way to<br />
interact with our peers and clients and<br />
celebrate the best in the industry – and our<br />
caricatures are proudly displayed at our<br />
Glasgow headquarters.<br />
How did it feel to be named MICE Team<br />
of the Year?<br />
We were elated! TBR’s Major Global Events<br />
service line was only launched in <strong>Jan</strong>uary<br />
<strong>20</strong>18 and from its inception the<br />
team has worked tirelessly to<br />
deliver outstanding ground<br />
transportation solutions<br />
across the globe for<br />
some of the world’s<br />
most prestigious<br />
brands. To win in such<br />
a competitive category<br />
was amazing.<br />
Why did you enter the<br />
awards or how did you<br />
come to be nominated?<br />
<strong>The</strong> formation of the team was<br />
derived through the acquisition of a<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>Business</strong> <strong>Travel</strong><br />
People Awards recognise<br />
outstanding individuals and<br />
teams across all aspects of the<br />
supplier element of corporate<br />
travel. Nominations for the<br />
<strong>20</strong><strong>20</strong> awards open in<br />
<strong>Jan</strong>uary<br />
multi-million-pound contract. Its bespoke<br />
requirements called for the facilitation of<br />
movements for over 3,000 VIP passengers,<br />
over 500 mixed vehicles and a 58 strong<br />
on-site team. We thought the<br />
outstanding feedback<br />
received from that project,<br />
including the team’s<br />
innovative approach to<br />
event transportation<br />
management, merited<br />
industry recognition.<br />
Tell us about the role<br />
of the team and the<br />
work they did to clinch<br />
the award?<br />
TBR’s Major Global Events<br />
team combines the bespoke<br />
technological capabilities of our<br />
What impact do you think winning will<br />
have on the team and their careers?<br />
Winning the award has solidified what we<br />
already knew about the team. <strong>The</strong>y are a<br />
group of hardworking and ambitious<br />
individuals, who are truly passionate about<br />
the exceptional service they deliver and<br />
the ever changing world of events. <strong>The</strong> win<br />
has given them more confidence in their<br />
own ability and the industry recognition<br />
they really deserve.<br />
What are some of the biggest challenges<br />
the team are currently facing in their<br />
various roles?<br />
As the team is so strong, there is an<br />
increasing requirement to utilise their<br />
services in key projects across the globe.<br />
For example, at the moment, we have<br />
activations in Tokyo, Seoul, Panama City,<br />
Washington and London. It is a great<br />
problem to have so as the demand grows,<br />
so too will our dynamic team of experts.<br />
