Travel Counsellors was officially presented with the Queen’s Award for Enterprise earlier this week.  

The accolade was presented to mark the agency’s continued growth and overseas expansion after spreading its model to the Netherlands, South Africa, Australia, Canada, Dubai and Belgium.

More than 200 staff and management gathered at the firm’s Bolton offices last week to mark the occasion, where Lord-Lieutenant of Greater Manchester Warren J. Smith presented the award to Travel Counsellors’ founder and chairman David Speakman.

“This year we are also celebrating our 20th anniversary so it is fantastic to mark this with such a positive and prestigious recognition of how far we have come in this time,” said Speakman. “We have based our success on the foundations of integrity, care, trust and professionalism, proving that there is a need for sincere and trusted advisers that place customer care at the heart of everything they do.”

Thirty percent of Travel Counsellors business is now generated outside of the UK with 600 agents operating overseas. Its global sales for the financial year ending 31 October 2013 were GBP385 million.
