Travel Counsellors has been awarded the Queen’s Award for its excellence in International Trade, marking the second time the company has stood-out in this category for outstanding continuous growth, having previously won the same award in 2014.

With twenty percent of Travel Counsellors business now generated outside of the UK, the company’s MD for Australia, Kaylene Shuttlewood, says, “Winning the Queen’s Award for Enterprise in International Trade for the second time is a fantastic accolade. This award is truly down to the hard work, passion and dedication colleagues and business owners across the business have demonstrated over the last 12 months, showing true care for customers, and each other.”

Travel Counsellors CEO, Steve Byrne adds, “We continue to navigate through a challenging time for the travel industry, but the culture of the business, the power of showing care and the trusted relationships our platform enables our business owners to build with their  customers means we are well placed to bounce back strongly, as we continue to grow our global community.

“With travellers across the globe increasingly seeking and appreciating the benefit and assurance of real, human, expert advice and guidance through these uncertain times, the true value of relying on an experienced, trusted travel professional shines through. We are looking forward to the future with optimism, and to the time when people can continue to explore the world again and do so in the most sustainable ways possible.”

Celebrating its 26th year in business, the latest accolade represents a trio of Queen’s Award wins for Travel Counsellors. Travel Counsellors joins 128 companies who have demonstrated outstanding achievement in the international trade category, with all winners personally approved by the UK’s royal family.
