WINNER SPOTLIGHT
Power to the people!
”THE AWARDS are a great way to connect with our peers
in the sector and celebrate the current strength of the
industry,” says Jill Palmer, CEO of Click Travel, who won
the Account Management Team of the Year in 2019.
”Our team is an ambitious bunch and being awarded for
their exceptional effort will only spur them on even more,“
says Palmer. ”I'm so proud of the team – they've worked
incredibly hard and truly deserved this accolade.“
Palmer says the team landed 55 new
clients in the last 12 months, achieving a
25% increase in total sales, and moved
more than 1,000 customers on to a new
booking platform.
”Winning the award will also help us
to continue recruiting the highest
calibre of new team members, as
well as continuing to promote from
within the business,” adds Palmer.
“The People Awards
are quite simply one
of the best award
ceremonies I have
been to”
“You could tell by
the excitement of
everyone in the
room that these
awards are taken
very seriously by
the nominees
and winners”
“These awards are
all about recognising
the people in our
industry that don't
always get the
recognition they
deserve”
“It feels absolutely
amazing to win
one of these awards
and it's a brilliant
recognition of our
hard work over
the years”
