A big congratulations goes out to home-based travel consultancy group, Travel Counsellors, on being named ‘Growing Business of the Year’ at the 2016 Amazon Growing Business Awards.
Held this week, the award recognises the impressive growth of a business in the ‘larger company’ category as well as acknowledging the business’ market leadership, continued global growth, industry-leading standards of service and innovation around the customer experience.
According to latest figures, Travel Counsellors now has some 1,600 Agents operating across seven countries and posted a turnover of $283 million during the last financial year.
Simon Shaw, Chief Finance Officer, who collected the award, said he’s thrilled by the win and attributed it to the company’s philosophy of putting people first.
“As a business we always put people first, doing the right thing by our customers to make their travel experience special and unique every time.”

“It’s this approach to customer care, along with supportive technology such as the myTC app, that has enabled Travel Counsellors to grow at a rapid pace since it was founded 22 years ago.”
The Amazon Growing Business Awards are the UK’s most established and respected recognition of SME and entrepreneurial success. Bringing together a guest list of over 500 trailblazing business owners and managers, the awards were hosted by comedian Rob Beckett in London and added some stand-out companies, including Travel Counsellors, to an illustrious alumni.
The award for Growing Business of the Year for Larger Company (turnover $85m+) was one of the final and much coveted awards of the evening.
