SPONSOR’S WELCOME
Dear Colleagues,
I hope you all enjoyed this evening and
congratulations to all the winners and finalists.
It is a great honour for Hills Balfour Synergy,
the UK’s leading travel PR and sales and marketing
representation agency, to be invited to participate in
these awards, which aim to reward the very best
companies and individuals in travel. It is with delight
that we have joined TTG this year, as the 2009 awards
have attracted more entries than ever before.
The TTG Travel Awards are recognised as the benchmark of quality within the
travel industry, something that we at Hills Balfour Synergy also strive to achieve.
It is great to be involved with this event with so many like-minded individuals
and companies that all share the same ethos as Hills Balfour Synergy – to ensure
that travel and tourism is top of mind among consumers and trade alike and to
aim to be the market leaders in our respective fields.
The team at HBS would like to extend our congratulations to all the finalists and
winners here tonight who are so deserving of their accolades.
It has been a tough year, so to be recognised as the best in your field in these
competitive times makes winning ever more rewarding – well done!
And what is also important tonight is to acknowledge the many who have
taken part and – this is what makes our industry so special – those who are
willing to go above and beyond.
While next year promises to be challenging, the rewards will be great, so it is
worth each and every one of us taking just one step towards the extra mile.
Here’s to a great year!
Amanda Hills Balfour
CEO, Hills Balfour Synergy
