BUSINESS TRAVEL AWARDS 2018


First in class


The Business Travel Awards at London’s Grosvenor House hotel celebrated the best in the corporate travel industry


C 48


OMEDY LEGEND JACK DEE kept a record-breaking Business Travel Awards audience of 1,300 entertained with his deadpan


humour as the best of the corporate travel industry enjoyed a night in the spotlight. At the annual black-tie awards evening, travel industry professionals filled the Great Room at London’s Grosvenor House hotel on Park Lane. Guests enjoyed a champagne reception before the entertainment kicked off with a performance by London drumming band Box 9, followed by a three-course meal. Dee presented 22 closely contested


awards, which had been judged by an independent panel of experts who rigorously evaluated a record number


of entries, first whittling them down to shortlists and finally settling on the winners.


A charity raffle, offering four tickets to see the Chelsea vs Barcelona Champions League football match, raised around £8,000 for children’s charity Compassion UK. The money will be used to pay for the installation of solar lighting to enable children in Kenya to study after sundown. Our industry colleagues Geoff Allwright (Airbus) and Per Voegerl (Sixt Rent A Car) will be in Kenya in June taking part in a 120km cycle ride and a 63km marathon respectively to raise funds for Compassion UK. To sponsor Geoff and Per, go to compassionuk.org/geoffallwright and compassionuk.org/pervoegerl
