Congratulations to the winners . . .
The 3rd Coach Tourism Awards were once again a resounding success at the Ricoh Arena on Thursday the 5th June. Jim Bowen hosted the evening with a sharp wit and the ‘sold out’ audience loved it.
There were 17 Awards handed out on the night by COACHmonthly Editor, Zoe Doyle, to the very best suppliers, operators and individuals in the UK coach market. Publishing Director Tony West commented ‘We’ve had another fantastic evening and our thanks go to everyone involved with the 2008 Coach Tourism Awards. I would like to pay tribute to all the entrants whose submissions were of a higher than ever quality, I would also like to thank all of our sponsors, without whom the evening would simply not be possible’
Plans will shortly be announced for the 2009 Awards and doubtless the organisers will be under pressure to build on the best ever Coach Tourism Awards from COACHmonthly. They are confident that they can rise to the challenge as Zoe Doyle, Editor of COACHmonthly said ‘This is the 1st Coach Tourism Awards I’ve worked on and it’s been a fantastic process. We’re already discussing our 2009 plans and the team involved are confident that they can make it EVEN better than the 2008 event. We all love a challenge!’
