Travel Counsellors wins prestigious World Travel Leaders Award

David Speakman, Chairman of Travel Counsellors, has won a prestigious World Travel Market 2014 World Travel Leaders Award in recognition of his work in pioneering the travel agent homeworking model.

The award was presented today to David Speakman by Editor Travolution, Lee Hayhurst, at the WTM World Travel Leaders Award ceremony. The Awards give WTM’s Official Media Partners – which represent key travel industry media around the world – an excellent platform to congratulate and recognise those companies and individuals that have made significant and groundbreaking contributions to travel and tourism in their region or sector.

Three nominations from each of WTM’s media partners were judged in September by a panel of three, consisting of an independent body, a representative of WTM and the relevant media partner. Speakman’s award recognises not only his achievements in the UK, but his success in expanding to other markets around the world.
